    I am already concluding that his motive was to kill people ... how and why he got to that point is the next task of the reporting and discussion followed by a call for tight controls on weapons. That's not going happen as where's there's a will there's a way

    For me it's this simple I feel extremely sad for the loss of innocent life.. thats all i can do and feel

    Your conclusion that his motive was to kill people is pretty smart, personally I thought he just was shooting at rats and hit a few people by mistake.

    Nevada has the most lax gun laws in the states, you can just walk in and buy a gun without signing or showing any kind of documents or ID.

    Good speculation my comments were aligned to yours that the questions starts now and soon becomes more important to people than the loss of life

    Will the US call a general day off to unite the sorrow ... i doubt it

    Yes, it's that. The heavy assault weapons. While they're lawful in the States, it's hard to be surprised at terrible events like this. And we know there'll be more...

    Fully automatic rifles are illegal in the states, so this was either an illegal weapon or an illegally altered weapon.

    He had at least 10 guns, two shooting platforms and cameras in the hallway to alert him to the police. When he saw them coming he killed himself.

    You're assuming some mental disorder. It sounds like he was very calm, considered, and practical.

    At least - that's what the Americans always have as their default position in any terror attack involving non-white or non-domestic terrorists. I'm going to apply the same rules here. Which makes it a problem for the US of A, not a single rogue that they can now push into the history books, along with all the other domestic white terrorists over their history.

    My understanding is that it's an assault weapon that's heavy duty, large bore and large capacity magazine

    See what is happening here again we are all drawn to the speculation of the killer and his weapons and the death toll just becomes a number

    Instantly we are looking for a law or a party to blame e.g gun laws and availability

    If an evil mind decides to carry out a dreadful act such as this , sorry i can't see anyway of preventing such evil planning and determination

    The aftermath of this is nearly more frightening because it will continue to inspire the evil that man can do by bringing in a war zone example directly into western civilian life containing innocents. we excuse this sort of event in war torn countries in fact it's not even reported or worse still no one ever learns of it

    It puts fear and terror into any forthcoming easy target like a pop event. The standard of terror is advancing
