You should definitely warn everyone that the link you just provided leads to extremely graphic pictures of dead victims covered in blood on the ground at the concert. Nobody wants to see that shite man.

Is there a way for gun manufacturers to “fix the fix”? Meaning a way to block it where mods can’t be made?

People will always find a way to modify weapons. New laws won't prevent this. The gat trigger can be installed on a pistol

Wouldn't that think kick like crazy letting out as many rounds in as he did in a row?

Figure he'd be shooting the ceiling in 3 seconds.



I thought the same thing until a previous poster posted this video, which I believe everyone should watch.

LINK

It's an 80 yr old man firing an AR15 with a gat trigger thing basically on his hip with one hand pretty damn accurately and with minimal kick problems. He sprays a target and then a bunch of bottles. Both with a suppressor and without.

If the reports of the shooter having tripods and platforms set up is true, he could absolutely just spray into that crowd without a problem.

That video changed my entire perception of the event. I've only ever shot pistols, shotguns, and single shot rifles. A modded AR15 is a frighteningly powerful thing.

That's no good.

I'm amazed that thus far, anybody who has made it to a hospital alive, has remained alive.

Also scary to think about how horrible the injuries were to the 59.

People tend to keep to themselves these days. Because of a direct hit from Irma, we got to know our new neighbors. Otherwise, people tend to keep to themselves and stay oblivious.

Case in NYC in 1964 of a woman murdered in the street while people watched and did nothing.

My point, even if something looks suspicious, people may not take action. We want our little bubble. This guy managed to move a ton of armory in to a room, with little, to no suspicion. Something seems...off, but who knows.

I can't imagine what these people are going through, the ones that survived. For the ones that didn't, thoughts to the families that are going through unimaginable grief.

Who would question a guy walking into a hotel with suitcases and bags? It’s not an uncommon sight in a hotel

the more people that witness something happen, the less likely an individual will intervene.

I do. Always have wanted to see every pic/video and read everything I could about things like this going back to Waco when I was 18. Then later on I would research Jamestown, Tulsa race riot, etc. As well as current tragedies.
I think a lot of people feel that way. Not in an indulgent way but in a thirst for information, perspective, and understanding.

I watched the video.

I know the shooter was targeting a large area, but at 500 yards, that would have been incredibly inaccurate. Like, WILDLY inaccurate.

Considering there were thousands of people there and he “only” killed 58, I’d say overall he was pretty inaccurate.

AP came out and said that he had devices similar to the ones posted. Bump fire stock and the like, along with possibly illegally altering a semi auto to fire full auto.

Or, maybe there were multiple shooters.
