Your post proves exactly who is hysterical after things like this happen. DO SOMETHING! I DON'T CARE WHAT! FUCK REPUGS! Maybe you can tweet about how you hope Trump voters died. #Resistance

I was thinking more along the lines of three or four shooters setting up in different rooms and then opening fire on the crowd simultaneously.

I want to know one thing. There was not one police officer at this concert with all those people in attendance?

The police are acting like they're response was good, but it was not. 20 minutes it took them to locate the shooter. How about going where there was a broken window?

This dude took some hits on the gambling side which contributed to this. No doubt about it. Brother stated that he'd stay in Casino hotels 4 months at a time. Big time gambler which means he took big time losses. No doubt about it.

The empirical record on this is far more complicated than you suggest, with armed insurgencies in some cases being largely the creation of the intervening force. But beyond this, even in those cases where there's an active resisting force already in place, that force is armed with weapons the state would have judged as illegal, so I am once again forced to ask what relevance this has to the US policy in the here and now.

This is doubly so since so many Second Amendment fans lecture constantly about the inevitability of the black market as undermining any effort to outlaw any new weapon. Yet the existence of that same black market also makes it unlikely that in the event the citizenry did need to arm up against a tyrannical stated they'd be entirely out of options altogether.
I'm sorry I think justifying the current set of legal guns as vital for protecting us against tyranny means that there should be an empirical reason to believe they can actually do so. The contentless notion of resistance you continue to deploy can be used to justify practically any set of gun laws, from only having potato cannons as legal to having everything up to what the US military enjoys. And comparing militaries to the US citizens bearing arms is once again meaningless since every developed military also has access to weapons that US citizens cannot currently obtain and because foreign clashes are by nature vastly different from domestic ones.

I think Trump has fascistic tendencies but I'm also not foolish enough to believe that any armed resistance on the part of private citizens is likely to do a damn thing about him.

Good to see you rah-rahing someone else sticking to an argument, especially after you gave up posting non-sequitur after non-sequitur to try to justify current voter ID laws last night.

He should've asked Albert Brooks to get his money back for him.

I don't think there is a bigger cuck beta pussy than you on this board right now.

No it isn't. While people are focusing on the very predictable "mental illness" and gun law angle this dude was clearly a degenerate gambler. If you want to speculate on something that was a leading contributor this would be it. His actions on Sunday were caused by an addiction to gambling.

It's truly bizarre to me that people think the US government would destroy all of its citizens easily if there was an armed revolution. If I'm being generous, I can only surmise that they haven't really thought too much about it beyond the surface argument of "the government has better weapons, game over"

Wouldn't that better explain him massacring the casino, then? If he had massive gambling debts (still liquid enough to wire $100K to the Philippines), why plan out an attack on an outdoor concert? He was also ostensibly enough of a whale to warrant being in the MGM's most exclusive VIP club, so he was rich enough to sustain losing money long enough to get invited to that club, so him losing his shirt and pushing the eject button on life at this exact moment seems far-fetched. Not impossible, just on the outer edges of plausibility.

Outwardly, the guy doesn't fit any mass shooter profile that we've become accustomed to. There's certainly a lot more to learn about his motivations, but based on present evidence this looks like a pretty big turn of his personality. Can brain tumors cause irrational, psychotic stuff like this?

I haven't read this whole thread, but I've read enough to say that Libertarians get one thing right that most people in today's age don't... America is based on the idea of protection from government, not protection by government. I'm not a Libertarian, and I believe that government has its place, particularly in economic matters and even more particularly in a modern, global economy... but the entire concept of Western Democracy and the idea that the people are their own rulers has always come at a price... and that price is that your government doesn't (and couldn't anyway) fix everything for you. Life is hard and people are bad, and there is no governing body that will ever change that.

What is the gun death rate in North Korea? If it's lower, is that the type of society we should aim for?

Um, the “no doubt about it” stretches the meaning of that phrase. While it’s possible I suppose, the actual circumstances don’t really seem to point that way. Yes he was in a casino hotel and was known to gamble but the rest is a pretty big leap.

Edit: I type too slow. I see others with similar thoughts.

why choose North Korea? The same basis would apply to pretty much every civilized society.

Can only answer for myself. I think fairness and law and order. It matters not to me whether there is 100 or 100,000 questionable voters. The partisan argument is pretty well documented as is the gun one.
