You know what's got the gunners freaked out?

[Mr.Bill]

They know damn well if they were in that crowd and carrying a gun, there wouldn't have been a damn thing they could have done to stop this guy. And he was probably using weapons that they salivate over owning.

[HAB911]

1. Ohhhhh Mr Bill

correct

[underpants]

2. I'll be surprised if he didn't have several 60s

M60s.

[AtheistCrusader]

12. Unlikely.

He was pausing to reload like a mag-charged weapon, albeit, a big magazine like a Beta-C. He didn't run it like a belt fed.

Also, a .30 cal full auto would have been way worse. WAY worse. Willing to bet he was using an AR-15/mini-14 or similar.

[ancianita]

13. This report says there were eight or more guns found in hotel room; his brother says he

didn't care much about guns.

[Trust Buster]

3. Yes, the second that this gun nut started pulling the trigger, everyone else's right were reduced

To just one - the right to run for their lives.

[n2doc]

4. The fantasy is too strong

they are all imagining how they would have cooly drawn their weapon and blasted the killer from 32 floors below, watching as his body fell, in slow motion, to crush some prius parked below. Just like in their favorite movies.

They don't live in reality.

[ChoppinBroccoli]

5. I Think They're All Thinking.............

............if it wasn't for that damn Clinton, I and all the other people at the concert would have calmly pulled out our handy rocket launchers, which the 2nd Amendment says we should have the right to carry with us everywhere we go, and just taken down the entire building.

[Mr.Bill]

6. And those peole in the rooms surrounding the shooter's?

Just collateral damage, I guess. These people do live in a fantasy world.

[ChoppinBroccoli]

8. You're Right. They All Think They're A Combination Of John Wayne And Die Hard

Just by strapping on a gun. They all envision themselves as freakin' Wyatt Earp who settles all disputes by pulling out "Ol' Blasty."

[AtheistCrusader]

18. Rocket Launchers aren't firearms, and aren't protected by the second amendment.

They are classified as Destructive Devices, not Firearms, and are not covered under the NFA or any other firearms related laws. That's why nobody has them, outside the military and companies engaged in the business of manufacturing or repairing them for the military.

[AtheistCrusader]

15. Nobody who actually carries a pistol for self defense would consider it useful in this situation.

Going up against a rifle with a pistol is a no-win scenario even before you add in the problem of distance and elevation. It wouldn't even amount to suppressing fire. It would just single you out as the next target.

[Ms. Toad]

20. One of the early self-videos circulating in the weehours of the morning

had someone who apparently owns guns muttering about wishing he had brought his gun with him.

[Iggo]

7. Life.

They live in fear.

Of life.

[byronius]

14. Coherent take.

[GusBob]

9. They are freaking about that

But then they will say; yes he knew he had to shoot from a snipers perch because he was a coward and he feared all his fellow gun nuts in the crowd

[Dave Starsky]

10. Yes, maybe they can shame crazy gun killers...

Into coming out in the open and playing by proper gunfighting rules like they saw on Gunsmoke as a kid.

[moondust]

11. Sad as it is,

many of the victims themselves likely defended the asshole's RKBA--because he might use them to take down a mass shooter someday!

[Amimnoch]

19. comforting thought.

I had written more, but it was probably crossing a line.

Suffice it to say my feelings, and condolences goes out to all victims that didn't support tRump, and pro-gun candidates. For them I will continue to fund and support candidates that want to implement sensible gun control laws as a minimum.

[treestar]

16. Exactly

They merely accept that these shootings will happen from time to time and hope that they are not going to be the ones to die.

[spike jones]

17. Guns don't kill people

Gun owners kill people.

[applegrove]

21. There were guns backstage and they were useless.

[doodsaq]

22. Gun nuts are too spectacularly dumb to realize...

...that any "good guy" trying to stop a mass shooting would be shot instantly by police in the ensuing chaos.

The stupidity of gun nuts is mind-numbing.

[JI7]

23. That he was an Old White Guy instead of Islamic Terrorist, Black thug, mexican rapists etc

and all the other reasons why white people need to arm themselves.

[Skittles]

24. paranoid fuckers

snowflakes, when you think about it
