Whether he killed himself or the SRO tagged him, early confrontation is the key to early resolution to these events.

"Whether he killed himself or the SRO tagged him, early confrontation is the key to early resolution to these events."

More than likely this was an attempted murder/suicide with the girl as the target.

Also early reports in situations like this tend to be wrong ... and cops tend to oversell their role in stopping the gunman.

The kid only had a glock. If he had an AR-15 or one of the many derivatives, a minute is enough to kill like 30 people.

All a good person needs is a solid handgun and one bullet to kill a bad guy.

All a bad guy needs is a minute and the fastest-shooting weapon he can get.

That's either an extreme exaggeration for effect or a hilarious overstatement of a person's ability to pull off such a task .. John Wick maybe XD

"... a gunman opened fire on a crowd of concertgoers at the Route 91 Harvest music festival on the Las Vegas Strip in Nevada, leaving 58 people dead and 851 injured. Between 10:05 and 10:15 p.m. PDT, 64-year-old Stephen Paddock of Mesquite, Nevada, fired more than 1,100 rounds from his suite on the 32nd floor of the nearby Mandalay Bay hotel."

@Forwyn - red herrings all over the place.

Main issue is how fast you can kill people. A 30-clip glock fired in full automatic would be like spraying shotgun pellets. Do you even counterstrike bro? And the accuracy would be less over distance. In most situations, the AR-15 or its derivative will be much faster for a variety of reasons. Focusing on the stupid-shit minutae gun nutters always focus on won't change that.

@Cherub Cow - Fucking retard. Had to double down on stupid. He injured/killed 900 people. Now you want to argue that people maimed or injured don't count or that they all couldn't easily have died?

FUck you retard.

Lol.

I can get a G-18 at Cabela's, right?

Oh wait, it's semi-auto only? Just like the AR-15?

Right.

Meanwhile, the deadliest school shooting in the US was perpetrated with pistols. Because, again, stalking the halls and classrooms is a far different tactical scenario than shooting into an open crowd.
Forwyn

Should clarify on the G-18: It's LEO only, simply a selective fire version of the G-17.

You and I can get G-17's, semi-auto only.

Anyways ignoring Forwyn's prepared NRA gaslighting some simple facts.

Shootings are up before and after the Assault Weapons Ban that Clinton implemented in 1994.

After it's end, casualties are up from mass shootings. The AR-15 is the main weapon of choice in all of the deadliest ones. And while, yes, part of it is due to copycat crimes; a big obvious reason is that the AR-15 (and its many derivatives) can fire faster and more stably with lethality versus other weapons.

So the short and easy way to decrease mass shootings is to decrease the ease with which AR-15-type weapons are acquired.

Now cute retard cuckservative arguments about how these kids would kill more with suicide bombings if they didn't have AR-15's and other stupid NRA bullshit.

Fucking retards.

What makes you fucking retarded is noone is talking about seizing guns anyways; just making it harder for people to quickly buy the deadliest guns.

"Fox said, however, some policy changes aimed at decreasing school shootings and gun violence in general certainly have merit. Banning bump stocks and raising the age of purchase for assault rifles from 18 to 21 are good ideas, and may lead to a decrease in overall gun violence, he said. But he doesn’t believe these measures will prevent school shootings. “The thing to remember is that these are extremely rare events, and no matter what you can come up with to prevent it, the shooter will have a workaround,” Fox said, adding that over the past 35 years, there have been only five cases in which someone ages 18 to 20 used an assault rifle in a mass shooting."

From article you posted.

And again, the article doesn't dispute the facts I put out. Shootings were less during the ban and more before and after.

So congrats for basically just proving what I said.

It's nice to see we can come to an agreement when you agree to use at least somewhat credible sources instead of some NRA spambot bullshit.

[Dukhat]: "Now you want to argue that people maimed or injured don't count or that they all couldn't easily have died?"

My original argument was basically asking if you were exaggerating for effect or if you really thought that an untrained person could kill 30 people in one minute. You seemed to have decided that you were not going to admit to exaggeration (which is really fucking weird, btw). So let's look again at your own words with emphasis added:

[Dukhat]: "If he had an AR-15 or one of the many derivatives, a minute is enough to [**KILL**] like 30 people."

You said, "Kill," not "maim", "injure", or "almost kill because maybe they could have died" — "kill". You then posted a stat which did not support your choice of the word "kill". Feel free now to admit that you were exaggerating. It's not a big deal.

The reality is that it's very difficult to make one kill every two seconds — even while spraying an area target — because, without good training, spray fire will not necessarily mean repeated kill shots (aiming might deteriorate, follow-on targets begin to move unpredictably, etc.). The stats you posted show this: lots of injured people, but nowhere near one kill every two seconds.

If you now want to deflect by debating the morality of whether the actual math of kill/time was still bad in that shooting, just keep in mind that I was casually making fun of your phrasing.. and since you didn't admit to exaggeration, making fun was with good reason as it turns out?

Cherub proving retards don't have any clue. Posting tons of shit only makes you more of a retard since you don't know how to focus on what matters.

The Vegas guy killed/injured 900 people in 10 minutes. And you want to argue over whether someone died or was only maimed to meet your "30 deaths per second is exaggerated" criteria.

58 killed
489 injured According to news reports I've read.

900-547=353 imaginary injuries actually don't count.

It was disastrous enough without exaggerating.

Where did you get 900?

Thu Mar 22 12:46:20
Ok

It looks as though you may have retrieved that number from:

http://www...gas-massacre-article-1.3586937

Did you actually read the article or just pick the number from the URL?

One more point on this subject.

22,000 attended that music festival and I'm left wondering how many of the 489 injuries were caused by the stampede when the crowd realized what was happening. I'd imagine a considerable portion.

Yes, I know it was the second link, but thanks.

If anyone wishes to persuade me that the preliminary police report was accurate provide other sources that verify. I'll accept and read any report that verifies the wiki article that used the preliminary 1_October_FIT_Report_01-18-2018_Footnoted.pdf.

I have been unable to verify the wiki article with any other news agency reporting on the web or otherwise. I'd appreciate anyone supplying if available. This isn't a partisan issue for me. It is a factual one and I don't mind if I'm wrong.

From the information I've been able to find the most liberal news agencies have not reported a number near 900.

It is one of the reasons I was wondering about the number of injuries from the stampede in a crowd of 22k.

[Dukhat]: "The Vegas guy killed/injured 900 people in 10 minutes. And you want to argue over whether someone died or was only maimed to meet your '30 deaths per second is exaggerated' criteria."

*My* criteria? I was quoting something that you yourself said. You yourself in your chosen word which you wrote on this forum which is plain to see for anyone and which defined *your* criteria was "kill" — and then, like I already pointed out, you *afterwards* backed up to "maim", "injure", or "almost kill because maybe they could have died"...

..
[Dukhat]: "Cherub ... you don't know how to focus on what matters."

So this is disappointing. As predicted, you decided "to deflect by debating the morality of whether the actual math of kill/time was still bad in that shooting". This makes me wonder if Dukhat is a Seb multi, since Seb's ego also prevents any intellectual honesty when Seb is confronted with contradictory information.

What is so difficult about saying, "Yes, I was exaggerating. My point was simply that a shooter can do a lot of damage quickly, and that that's a problem to me"? Why do you find it necessary to deflect or avoid the simple fact that you were exaggerating? You don't lose anything by being honest, whereas Sebbing with intellectual dishonesty just further makes this multi a joke... but maybe that's the point I should accept (your own joke here).

The St. Mary's Sheriff's office finally came clean and admitted that the shooter committed suicide.

It's very relevant because for a solid week the police ran a con pretending that a school resource officer had averted a mass shooting, when at best he kept the kid from leaving the school grounds.

The cop saved zero lives.

The police pull this shit all the time. It is immediately apparent when someone blows their own head off.

Go figure why the police department would spread information that would later be discovered as false.

Wouldn't blame the cop. At least he did something unlike the turd at the other high school. Hitting a moving target under pressure is extremely difficult. The cop has to worry about only hitting the intended target and minimizing collateral damage among many other things while firing.

The shooter only cares about maximum damage.

But such subtleties are lost on this board anyways.

And it wouldn't have mattered what he hit, because the bullet was in the perps head before the cops bullet arrived.
