I was supposed to drive someone from Irwin to the airport in Vegas tomorrow, but I'm guessing that's not going to happen now. Jesus christ that was a lot of shots.

The casualty count just leaped from 2 dead, 24 injured to 20 dead, 100 injured.  Apparently the shooter was a Las Vegas local; police are searching for his "companion." Dunno if that means a person who may be an accomplice or another victim.

The name they gave matches a Facebook profile of a woman fitting the description; casino employee, Mandalay Bay on her "likes". Looks like a normal American Pacific-Asian grandma.

NUKES CURE NORKS posted:Feel kind of lovely that I woke up, heard about Vegas and my first thought was "it's been a while." There is a mass shooting - 4 or more people being shot in one incident - on average once a day in America. It's just so common that it usually only makes the local news.

Wasabi the J posted:Dan on his IG Story. Not trying to be a dick here, but isn't Dan Bilzerian the wifebeating SEAL-washout poker millionaire attention whore that sued the producer of that Mark Wahlberg SEAL movie because he didn't get enough airtime? I'm honestly not really surprised that people would think it's anything other than more attention-whoring from him. I'd be all for any off-duty special forces dude doing anything they can to help or stop the threat, but I'm assuming they'd have other priorities than updating their Instagram story to assure their fans they're grabbing their gun to get the shooter. Glad to hear your dudes are safe, though. Relatedly, what "team" of yours is this? I have trouble remembering what everyone in GiP does and can barely distinguish between mildudes and LEOs.

No way that a civilian w a gun looking to help could go wrong. "Only a good guy with a gun"  Yea Dan B is a huge douche. His celebrity is based around social media likes from people who wish they could be huge bros so of course he's gonna live stream it. People are already calling him a hero.

Also that he was able to kill so many from so far away. Did he have a 240 or something? From the videos it sounds like something bigger than 5.56.

Festival was approx 40k people. Look at the videos and photos of how dense the crowds are, everyone just huddle together ducking down. Combined with the confusion, no surprise we saw the estimated body count jump from twenty to fifty so sudden

Assuming that this weapon was legally purchased, you need ATF approval to buy something fully automatic like that yea?

It's just weird because every time someone says it's automatic weapons it always turns out to not be. It's just odd for it to seem to be real.

Yeah, and an extremely expensive tax stamp IIRC. Gun club I used to shoot at owned a .50 M2 that was purchased through member donations (the stamp was more expensive than the gun) and shot it off once a month or so.
