| I believe in the principle of Due Process  |
The young man at Sandy Hook had well known mental disparities, but was getting no treatment, IIRC. Virtually nothing is known about this fellow right now, enogh to draw any conclusions about his mental health and personality, nothing that is too far from normal. Indeed, he seems stable, functioning rationally, pretty well adjusted on the surface from what is reported. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

Correlation does not equal causation. It's not surprising that the type of disturbed people who commit these kinds of acts have been treated for mental illness. They're getting meds because they've been identified as "crazy," not going crazy because they've been given meds. Besides that, what about the millions of people who take these medications and somehow don't end up killing anyone? _________________________ Their system of ethics, which regards treachery and violence as virtues rather than vices, has produced a code of honour so strange and inconsistent, that it is incomprehensible to a logical mind. -Winston Churchill, writing of the Pashtun | |||

You might find a dictionary useful. It's a big book with a lot of words printed in it. *************************** Knowing more by accident than on purpose. | |||

Ever heard of correlation causation? It's probably what they are being treated for, not the medication they are using. ----------------------------------------------------------- TCB all the time... | |||

I can see my post may be a little confusing...I was referring to bustabuddy's post, not yours. Should have just copied his original post. I am in agreement that the only real motive here is that the shooter was mentally deranged and unfortunately, he took 59 people with him and scarred hundreds more. __________________________ But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams. | |||

I think that one thing can be said for sure, regardless of if any of his other guns were modified in a different way or if they were grandfathered pre 86 full auto, I think it is safe to say that Slide-fire and other similar bump stock or other trigger manipulation devices are not going to be legal for much longer. In the quest for some's desire to get around and skirt the law regarding full auto capability, these unregulated products were a problem just waiting to happen. None of them are going to survive this and IMHO, good riddance. I support the vast majority of firearms related products out there, but have never supported any of these. -Dtech __________________________ "I've got a life to live, people to love, and a God to serve!" - sigmonkey "Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value." - Albert Einstein "A man can never have too much red wine, too many books, or too much ammunition" ― Rudyard Kipling | |||

Video tour of the shooters room (prior to the shooting) Couldn't get it to embed. A video, shot in 2016 by a guest at the Mandalay Bay hotel in Las Vegas shows the exact room where Stephen Paddock, the suspect in Sunday’s deadly Las Vegas shooting stayed. http://dailycaller.com/2017/10...s-shooter-had-video/ | |||

FWIW, I check 3 large net sellers about the 'slide fire' stock. All 3 showed out of stock, with no backorder. No I don't need one, just looking. | |||

Fox just reported that Paddock owed $270,000 in legal fees from his failed slip and fall lawsuit at the Cosmopolitan. I wonder if we've found the motive. Even if you're well off, $270k is a dent in the lifestyle. Nice is overrated "It's every freedom-loving individual's duty to lie to the government." Airsoftguy, June 29, 2018 | |||

$270.00 Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock gambled and lost in 2012 slipping lawsuit "The case was eventually tossed in 2014 – and Paddock still owed $270 in legal fees when he opened fire Sunday night." ------------------------------------------------------ Though we choose between reality and madness It's either sadness or euphoria | |||

He lost a lawsuit so he kills 50+ people? C'mon man... The guy was fucking nuts. -------- After the game, the King and the pawn go into the same box. | |||

The case was over with 3 years ago when he lost arbitration in 2014.

| Donate Blood, Save a Life!  |
Reading the story about the situation at the hospitals after the victims started arriving made my eyes misty. Kudos to all of the police, firemen, first responders, those on scene in the field as the bullets rained down, and to all of those at the hospitals who did as much as they could to save so many.
Possibly, but he made at least one more trip to get more victims. The firing had probably stopped by then, but he definitely seemed to be trying to help. *** "Aut viam inveniam aut faciam (I will either find a way or make one)." -- Hannibal Barca | |||
