Mass Shooting at Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas

[Camicon]

And why do you carry everyday? Because you just enjoy the feeling of having a weapon able to kill a dozen people at range in half a minute? Or for self-defence?

I carry everyday because when I was an officer it was required to carry when off duty, and it got to be a habit.

It's fucked up that you were required to carry when off duty.

Self-defence are you fucking serious right now?

So you carry a firearm to defend yourself against other people who might be carrying a firearm. So we're agreed that if nobody else was carry a firearm you wouldn't need to either.

I'm gonna report that for flamebaiting.

How is that flamebaiting?

[Gig em Aggies]

No. There was only one suspect. The police didn't shoot anyone

Really? I read there was 3 shooters. I guess it was right as the attack happened so info was blurry. sorry.

People say stuff like that when it's happening because at that moment your more concerned about getting out alive then accurate information when it's ongoing afterwards though you can sort things out.

No, they carry a firearm to defend themselves against people who would want to harm them.

How is it any concern of yours? The Mods will decide, so let the system run it's course. Let's not derail the thread with rules lawyering.

BANNING GUNS DOESN'T CAUSE STUFF LIKE THIS TO STOP!!
Ban the weapon and what's that gonna do? Push people who are WILLING TO COMMIT A TERROR ATTACK to go and buy them illegally giving money to criminals!!! Sort the underlying problems that drove these people to commit these attacks!!

This. ^^

Yep, never once have people been assaulted or killed with non-firearm weapons!/s

Turns out most people are bloodthirsty and waiting for the first excuse to kill someone.

What a foolish arguement

I carry because there are criminals and they have guns/knifes/bats or multiple groups.

What happens when my husband and i encounter three men who want to hurt me?

Also it helps woman equal the playing field against some rapists.

The department never wanted us to get caught flat footed.

I mean, it's a bit like wearing your seatbelt in an airliner while it's cruising. The chances of actually needing it are pretty stinking small. However, when you suddenly hit clear air turbulence without warning, you'll be glad you had it on.

It's hinting that he carries a gun for the feeling of power over others to kill them.

And when you need it...you REALLY need it.

I am 18 and I carry.

[Arkinesia]

Look we get it, you hate people having guns.

No, I hate people dying unnecessarily because of the USA's fucked up firearm regulations. Or, rather, lack thereof.

The gun used in this incident was almost certainly not legal. You can't just walk into Walmart and buy an AK.

“Innocent people died.”

“Must have been some complex, sinister conspiracy. Couldn't be that one kook with a bunch of guns and ammunition started shooting at a dense crowd. There had to be something else.”

Your lack of empathy for the deceased is troubling..

My unwillingness to bend to groupthink conspiracy theorizing is now “lack of empathy.” Wow. We're reaching levels of irony here that shouldn't even be possible.

From this I gather you live a life in perpetual fear.

Your baseless insistence that the real shooter somehow vanished into the night, leaving dead Stephen Paddock to take the fall, is vastly more troubling than us mocking the absurdity of that scenario.

There was a terrorist attack in Edmonton the other day. Attacker used two cars and a knife. Four injuries, no fatalities.

Just know, I am amused to no end by the fact that you feel the need to carry around a firearm in order to feel physically safe, because you've convinced yourself that there are marauding, bloodthirsty gangs out to get you.

See above. Also, most rape is committed by someone the victim knows, not by a street tough in a dark alley at knife point.

Buddy, you're on the NSG Forums. Everything is possible.

[Kennlind]

What I want to know is how ONE MAN thats SIXTY FOUR years old shot around 600 people!

[Thermodolia]

Probably because self-defense/American culture

Nah man, we're all a bunch of wanabe Rambos, did you not get the group text?

I never get group texts

You really should work on those judgment skills

Its a saftey measure like a seatbelt or fire extinguisher.

Area targets are easy peasy. It's like stampeding fish in a barrel.

Guess that makes sense if you're policing in the US. Still, hammers and nails, and all that.

Well there were 22,000 people at the concert he was shooting at so, you know, point gun, pull trigger.
