I'd assume people close to an incident like this would have their views altered just like the Holocoust has shaped the view of many Jews opinions on the subject.

Maybe, but his logic might be a bit skewed.

The firepower this guy used is already illegal. Flying planes into buildings is illegal. Shooting homemade  rockets at schools is illegal. Heroin is illegal. Human trafficking is illegal. Selling body parts is illegal. Illegality stops nothing.

What I want to know is why no one responded within 5 minutes. Answer, no one within 5 minutes had rifle and the training to use it.

Seriously?! I didn't see this anywhere. If that was indeed the case, then that's a whole other issue. I understand it took some time to figure out what was flying, but a swat sniper should be less than 5 min away. Or not.

In the UK this could never have happened. Obviously the fact that these weapons were technically "illegal" here wasn't enough.

Not that simple.

We don't know that yet.

+1, it's hard but not illegal to get machine guns in Nevada. And fwiu the guy was a millionaire so it's definitely possible he had the guns legally.

Right, so instead people hack people with machetes and make IEDs. #Manchesterarena

I also was just informed there is a way to make an AR-15 basically full auto legally. Was not aware of the new stuff they come up with.

Excuse my ignorance, but did the audio sounds like an AR to you? Sounded louder to me, but I'm very far from an expert.

Sounded like an AK to me, but what do I know.

No way for me to tell from the audio. Cycle rate would probably be a better indicator.

You seem to have left out the part where I mentioned IEDs...are you forgetting the Manchester arena bombing?

Correct. There is not shortage of options. Cutting the good guys off, will not do anything to stop the bad.

They are saying around 600 rounds a minute. How long did the shooting go on for?

Now makes me think the larger caliber AK-47.
