Gunman was Las Vegas resident, LVPD still seeking his female companion and his two vehicles (Hyundai Tuscon # 114B40, Chrysler Pacifica Turing # 19D401). Not clear from tweets, but that companion may be the woman they're seeking for questioning.

Must admit, my stomach sank further seeing her picture.

by the way i would suggest caution before watching the video two posts back. it is not graphic but it is very upsetting.
Deaths now at 50. This is horrifying to wake up to.

Nevada has some of the loosest gun laws in the country (and by extension, the world). Open carry, concealed carry, assault weapons, high capacity magazines, no permits needed, all these things are a free for all. Iirc they recently had to (and won a?) fight even for limited background checks.

the snapchat news story on this was a collection of snaps from people who were there. the way the gunshots sounded so... not normal, but maybe banal? was probably the most horrifying thing. (i do not recommend watching it if you have a weak stomach.)
anyway i'm sure the thoughts and prayers offered up en masse will make a difference until next time
― maura, Monday, 2 October 2017 13:52 (six years ago) link
real cool that the media keeps putting up pictures of a person of color who did not shoot and kill 50 people rather than pictures of the white man who shot and killed 50 people

My brother is out there right now w his wife he was at the MGM Grand at the time and they were on lock down until 4am. They are safe but understandably shaken up.

xp Surprisingly they don't! Though they've had some wrong claims in recent months.
Specifically, people who already own guns and ammo break out the credit cards and buy more, because no matter who the president is or who is in congress, they know what's coming, any day now. This is a minority of citizens, hopefully that's obvious, but the spike in demand is predictable enough that if you're an institutional investment manager who isn't restricted from trading in guns and ammo stock then it would be irresponsible not to

Barely anyone remembers what the ATF is supposed to do anymore, and the FBI & DHS aren't likely to spend time on this unless there's some genuine international nexus. I bet there are some analysts who got spun up after that ISIS tweet for 30 minutes or so. This is just going to be a LVPD issue, like every other one of these that isn't San Bernardino or Boston.
We're fucking useless.

what will be awesome is if/when Nevada tries to pass stronger gun legislation at the state level and then Congress passes a law to supersede it - because States' Rights only count when our donors want them to
