Al queda is taking responsibility saying he recently converted to islam but the fbi isn't confirming it.

ISIS too. Propaganda. He acted alone and without any jihadist overtones. Plus converting to Islam for their kind of terrorist...is not enough. This is not a terrorist thing, this is a gun control thing.

Now don't worry, this is not all going to happen soon, this is a slow step-by-step process where you won't have to but your kids and almost certainly their kids, will quietly and willingly give up their guns. (to join the rest of the invalidated BoR)

Oh and carrying a cross...wrapped in a flag.

It doesn't make sense that someone who supports gun control would do this. It may turn into a gun control discussion, but it doesn't really make sense that that was the gunman's motive.

Well the one thing we do know, is that we...will never know for sure. But I am not convinced this guy wasn't clinically ill which if so, means he...could do anything and unpredictably so. And now the whole gun control debate keeps raging.

It appears that the killer/shooter "snapped" and was mentally ill or at the very least seriously depressed.
In either case, the fact that he was able to obtain all these high powered rifles AND get them into a 5 star hotel is troubling.

ANYONE can get depressed, become mentally ill or snap.

I think a good gun control is compromise is limiting the number of guns a person can own. And there should be a National registry so all gun shops would have access to it to know if this man reached his gun buying limit and can't get anymore! The amount of guns he had is abit insane! On top of that, I was reading articles that the gun shops who sold him guns denied that anything they sold him was capable of the damage that shooting did. They all claim he got it modified elsewhere. And if he did, who does these modifications? Are these modifications legal?

I mean seriously, how many different type of guns does one person need for day to day protection?

I own a total of 73 guns, and I'm a freakin liberal. All legal, and registered to me. My father was an avid collector, so I got his toys when he passed.

And every time some damn foreigner says 'Americans have too many guns', I feel like buying a new one.

I am presently restoring two such weapons, an M1919 air cooled, belt fed 30 cal that during WW2 had been converted to have a butt instead of the traditional trigger and a 30.06 BAR

As for the BAR, (Browning Automatic Rifle) on a side note. The BAR and Browning has quite a history.

Delivered to the Army in 1918, got bipods and was fully adopted in 1938. Used in combat worldwide, practice and in service until 1991. Browning did a live demo of his water-cooled machine gun and the infantry automatic shoulder rifle. The govt. immed. ordered the water-cooled model.

By 1943 it had become difficult to keep up with demand but production rates greatly increased in 1943 after IBM introduced a method of casting BAR receivers from a new type of malleable pig iron developed by the Saginaw division of General Motors, called ArmaSteel.

After successfully passing a series of tests at Springfield Armory, the Chief of Ordnance instructed other BAR receiver manufacturers to change over from steel to ArmaSteel castings for this part

The BAR never entirely lived up to the original hopes of the war department as either a rifle or a machine gun, yet, remained in service until 1991 and is still used world wide at all levels.

Oh yes we do.... unless you think killing 58 strangers is normal... there is no sane justification for this.

If you mean "sane" means being a good person. And any person who feel attracted to "evil acts" are insane.

But there are many mass murdering cases that, are pretty conscious and know what they are doing, and they just enjoy it.

American white men are mostly circumcised though. I am unsure if African American practice circumcision too. But it seems to be quite a common practice among American white males. For some damn strange misrepresented hygiene reason.

You think the left want to mass murder the right? Really?

Personally, I think the radicals of either side are just two sides of the same coin, but I've never considered that the average Democrat and the average Rebuplican wished harm on each other.
