Maybe...but again, looking up at 50 some odd stories, in the dark, and having to count (in the dark) how many windows over from the left or right is tougher than it sounds.

My guess would be, that the fire and police train to know what floor is what.  There are probably inconspicuous markers to show every 5th or 10th floor.

if only the people at the concert were all armed.  they could have defended themselves ! 

When I went to the Ducks Stanley Cup party, I was surprised that Anaheim PD set up a sniper nest across the street.  My guess is, that these sniper protection units will be more commonplace for outdoor events like in Vegas.  Especially with high vantage points nearby.

He was there since 9/28.

housekeeping never went inside the room once? 

Did he bring all the ammo and guns up on the same day ?

right, but those are cops.  my point is.  inevitably, the more despicable of the gun advocates will dredge up this bullshit argument and incredibly.  many many many people will continue to buy in.

of course it was...he had a room perfect for this attack, high up with a clear view of a well publicized event. He brought in a friggen arsenal and built a machine gun nest, and if reports are to be believed had cameras to monitor when police arrived at his location.

Theres a pic on CNN that shows 2 windows broken out, spread over two corners. I wonder if it was a suite...money no object kind of purchase.

Why ? She's not wrong.  This is exactly the time we should be talking about how fucking vile the NRA and gun advocacy is in this foolish country.

I'm guessing he told them he didn't need cleaning service.  If he knew what he was doing I'm guessing he could have set it all up in the same day as this was obviously well planned.

The bodies have yet to be picked up from the venue. Can't she wait a day or 2?

NBC is reporting killer's father at one time was on the FBI's ten most wanted list. Bank robbery in 1968. He has since passed away.

Benjamin Hoskins Paddock.

As it stands.  In 3/4 of this country literally any not visibly retarded adult can go out and buy a weapon that can sow incredible harm to large groups of people with ease.  And some of the most powerful forces in politics enable and support that way of life.  It's utter madness.

He probably used the first two days of the concert as a dry run on what he was going to do.

No gun expert here, but can you put a silencer on a fully automatic rifle?

No.  The bodies have been cold from the countless other gun nightmares for plenty long.  this is absolutely when people should be screaming from the top of their lungs about this  nightmare issue.  Gun advocates should have their fucking faces rubbed in this.

When's the best time? A week from now? Two weeks? A month? Do we have to wait for no shootings to occur for a period of time? (274 and counting...this year).

It's the best fucking time...congress is set to take up a vote, this week, on making silencers easier to get. THIS WEEK.

You want to show respect for the dead...maybe stop sacrificing people to senseless gun violence in the name of freedom.

 

 

oh...wait...sorry...

Why don't you just give it a Googs?

For sure on a semi auto and believe you can light up plenty of people with those.  More accurately.

I'm fairly conservative (whatever that even means anymore) but I totally agree. These kinds of weapons should never be available.

How convenient the country's worse mass shooting happened the SAME WEEK. 

im just as sick and disgusted as the next person. An average joe like you and me getting their hands on a weapon like that and that much ammo.

You can, but it degrades quickly. Also ruins velocity, but with him being elevated it wouldnt matter as much.

I'm sorry, but I must ask: what's the inference here?

I don't even want to know the warning flags that'd put you on at the NSA.
