Active Shooter in Vegas!

(10-03-2017, 09:06 AM)BIAD Wrote: Tuesday:

I awoke to the Sky News reporting that a 'property millionaire' shot up a country & western concert in Las Vegas
and purchased all of his firearms at a Gun-Shop presumably in Mesquite.

True. He was worth about 2 million dollars, and had 25 houses around the nation. Owned his own airplane, flew a lot, traveled overseas a lot. I still haven't figured out what was so terrible about his life that he had to shoot up a crowd of complete strangers. Since he's dead, we may never know.

Quote:There was an image of the store and it was said that the owner commented (although you didn't hear or see him)
that Paddock passed all the required protocols.
Mainstream overseas media calming the public down.

True. He passed all the tests, and filled out all the forms for at least some of the weapons he had. Nothing popped up in his history that would send up red flags. Apparently one traffic ticket, years ago. No history of mental or legal problems.

Quote:The BBC website tends to move in the 'feelings' circles with sad remarks from loved ones, but it did state:
'Nevada has some of the least stringent gun laws in the United States.
People are allowed to carry weapons and do not have to register themselves as a gun-owner.
Background checks are done when people buy guns, but they are also allowed to sell them privately...'

Kinda true. I don't know how "lax" compared to the other states Nevada can be considered. I've never lived anywhere here that I could not openly carry a sidearm, nor have I ever lived anywhere that "registration as a gun owner" would be tolerated. I don't see how Nevada is any more lax or even different from anywhere else I've lived here.

Quote:The BBC Breakfast News also reported on the tragedy. Again, the emphasis was on how simply a man bought
some guns and without a known motive at this point, killed 58 people.
Of course, they showed Obama weeping at a previous tragedy and suggested US gun laws should be looked
at again.

I don't know about "simply" - Federal law governs firearms purchases, and one has to jump through a few hoops to get one. I recently purchased one, and had to fill out a novel of paperwork, present valid ID's, and submit to a background check to insure that I was stable enough to walk out of the store with it. It took a while, but we had other stuff to shop for while the background check was being done, so it wasn't all that problematic - I didn't have to stand around and fidget, waiting, in other words. I just found something else to do to fill that time.

Quote:They want your guns, fellas.

They can have mine, if they meet certain requirements. I had to meet requirements to get it myself, after all. They will 1) have to come pick it up in person. I'm not going to gift wrap it and deliver it to them, and 2) agree to the terms of having to get it 55 grains at a time, and reconstruct it later.

Oh - they also need to send more than 500 people to pick it up. the first few may not make the grade.

"Molon Labe"

- Leonidas, Spartan leader at the Battle of Thermopylae.
(They had to send a whole lot of Persians to claim his weapons, too)


.
Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.

Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
