Vegas Shooting

So he had been court martialled and dishonourably discharged from the military which means him purchasing a gun was illegal.

So much for that gun control. Will be interesting to see how it was purchased, if it was through friend or family I wonder what they could be prosecuted with. I'd be interested in specific ideas for workable gun control that could stop these atrocities, I have literally no idea.
I find these discussions interesting when people have to try and defend their views, hope he does another that doesn't get shut down.

WashPo via the Ferald:
"This was not racially motivated, it wasn't over religious beliefs," Freeman Martin, of the Texas Department of Public Safety, said at a news briefing.
"There was a domestic situation going on within the family and the in-laws."

@rembrandt Just picking out your comment "So much for gun control". Not sure what you're aiming for there and not wishing to pick an argument when there might be one but...
The perp not legally being allowed to buy a gun is not the whole gun control issue. If there are guns freely available and it is legal to carry such a weapon, then the chances of this prick getting collared before he fires off umpteen rounds at the local baptist church is lessened.
Not arguing here for anything anywhere near a solution as I reckon things have gone waaaay to far.

@catogrande All good mate slight misquote "So much for THAT gun control' referring to a supposed control that was supposed to work and clearly didnt. I don't know enough about the relevant strength or enforcement of it to know if it was practical or not. Again I too have no answers, I find when I start to query people on specifics as to what they would do to fix the situation often there ideas struggle to hold up to basic queries.

USA Today later issued a clarification that this particular "possible modification" was not, in-fact, part of the Texas church shooter's kit.

I wunder where "USA Today" gets their fabulous hot-take scoops...?
