I saw a chart (that I now cannot find again) that showed some astonishing stats on U.S. gun ownership:

78% of Americans do not own a gun
19% of Americans own 50% of the guns
3% of Americans own the other 50%

Wow!

The 3% are the gun fetishists that I mentioned in an earlier post, but I had no idea that they were this far off the charts (literally).

So when ~90% of all Americans favor "common sense" gun controls, we know who comprises a significant proportion of the opposition.

They estimate (because there isn't a registry so no way to know for sure) ~300 millions guns in America. So that 3% - basically 10 million people - own 30 guns each. So that's 10 million potential Stephen Paddocks running around with their personal arsenals, ammunition stockpiles and bump stock firing mechanisms.

Yikes!

 


We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just wa**ing with a football.

Well, ignoring the completely unsubstantiated conspiracy theory...the t*** had tripods that took the weight. All he had to do was roughly aim and pull the trigger.

An observation, but feel free to label as you wish.
''All he had to do was roughly aim and pull the trigger''. So the tripods also mitigated the continual force of the recoil?
In my little world, 95% of people (yes, that includes you) would ache/need a rest when holding a standard SDS drill while drilling into masonry for around 1min.
God knows how much force firearms such as those used would require..............but apparently an unfit OAP managed it?

Semi-automatics don't recoil as much as other rifles because the recoil energy is used to re-cock the weapon and - in this case because of the bump stock - re-fire the weapon. He isn't an OAP (64) and you have no information to suggest that he was unfit.

But still, stuff you make up in your head > reality.

Enjoy.

You seem to think that every violent event is not as it appears and is some sort of conspiracy. You have no evidence whatsoever to support these theories and can offer no sensible motives for the conspiracies apart from vague nonsense about the state using the events as excuses for their actions. It's nuts and an insult to the victims.

I've fired plenty of guns like the kind used and they are remarkably easy. You'd get more recoil off of some handguns.

And it's not even comparable to using a SDS bit in a hammer drill. You don't lock a hammer drill into your shoulder so the forearms and biceps take the brunt of it, oppose to a little light bruising, at best, to the shoulder when firing a fully automatic weapon.

An AR50 packs a punch but if you've got it on a tripod with your stance well set it's simply a case of keep on pulling the trigger.

Reports say that Paddock tried to buy tracer rounds, but the gun show he was at had sold out. THat's a huge lucky break, because he would've been far more accurate - and deadly - if he'd been able to see exactly where his shots were going.

The counter being that he'd have been more easily spotted, but I doubt he would've been stopped before the 11 minutes or so after which he stopped himself.

About that, the security guard was on that floor at that time because they had a door ajar alarm on another room. Paddock shot the guard through the door but never returned to firing at the crowd after that. Had that completely random coincidence not occurred, who knows how long he would've kept firing out the windows at the crowd. It took an hour after the security guard identified the room for a SWAT team to get to that door...

Also, he is believed to have had a go at some fuel tanks at the very nearby McCarran airport. I've been to the Mandalay Bay, and the airport seems like it's right next door. From the higher floors, you look down right over the airport pan.
