He's not asking where he got the guns, but where he got the money to buy the guns. They are not cheap.

Haven't we seen enough shootings where eventually it's known the perp was in contact with glownigs?
I'm not saying it happened in this case, but it's happened more times than the government would like you to know.

Shooter's main Instagram appeared to have only a handful of posts. An overwhelming majority of young people are terminally online, yet all we get is his Ramirez mirror photo, a shot of a magazine and some guns and a privated Instagram alt. Where could he have been posting then?
 
AP reporting he was wearing body armor, as per Sgt. Erick Estrada of the Texas Department of Public Safety.


The gunman, who was wearing body armor, crashed his car outside the school before going inside, Sgt. Erick Estrada of the Texas Department of Public Safety told CNN.

He killed his grandmother before heading to the school with two military-style rifles he had purchased on his birthday, Gutierrez said.

“That was the first thing he did on his 18th birthday,” he said.

A Border Patrol agent who was working nearby when the shooting began rushed into the school without waiting for backup and shot and killed the gunman, who was behind a barricade, according to a law enforcement official speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk about it.

The agent was wounded but able to walk out of the school, the law enforcement source said.

loser got killed by a lone officer lmao

It's interesting how many people are trying to attach some kind of label to the shooter, be it either a tranny or a white supremacist (despite him being latino from what I've seen?). Until more information releases on him in the next day, it'll probably keep getting more oddly specific.

Maybe he is mixing it up with the Norway shooting that killed 77 people. Most of them where at a commie summer camp.

Yeah, my bad on mixing that up. Mea culpa.

A news article stated that there is a video being shared on Facebook of the shooter running into the school. Anyone got a link to the vid?

I don't understand, unless you're saying that black market guns would be so prevelant in the US that it wouldn't matter if they were officially restricted. How does sandy hook, el paso, virginia tech, etc. happen when the perpetrators can't easily access guns? I think Australia would have definitely had a serious mass shooting in the last 25 years or so if people could still easily buy semi auto guns.

Those 400million (known) firearms aren't going to disappear in a flash. The already black market ones will stay black market and go nowhere. If all of the legal ones become illegal then suddenly your black market goes from millions to hundreds of millions, even assuming significant compliance of people surrendering them. There will always be the ones that were left in a closet and long forgotten about or "boat accident" people hiding them at home just waiting for an instable child or feral teen burglar to find and use in crime.

This is even just assuming 100% all guns illegal. Which wouldn't happen because "hunting guns" will still be allowed in some capacity and police will always be exempt from the rules. So there will always be some access to guns to children of these people or thieves targeting them.

Future mass killers would have to acquire their weapons in more shady ways, so they'd at least have to be sociable enough to know a drug dealer who would hook them up if they weren't already the "weekend in Chicago" type mass shooter. So maybe that cuts out a fair number of these types. But even the Columbine guys got someone to illegally sell them a handgun.

Columbine showed that improvised bombs, hunting shotguns, and featureless low cap rifles can do a lot of damage. I will give that having two people pumped the numbers and police were not prepared to respond to something like a school shooting at the time, so the same circumstances wouldn't be quite as deadly today. But you're not going to stop all the crazy people like them.

Sure it would be harder for these types of things to happen, which might be enough to prevent a fair number of would be mass killers from moving aspiration into action, but all you achieve is a risk reduction at the expense of trampling on millions of people's rights to defend themselves, their right to fight enemies of the state, and the right to own their constitutionally protected property, all without addressing the actual cause of people's desire to commit wanton mass murder.

You can't put the firearm genie back into the bottle in the US without stepping on a bunch of sneks. It's too late and all you're asking for in doing so is a lot of dead and imprisoned Americans at the hands of their own government. Because that's what the gun control pushers with any level of power actually want, their political enemies dead or in prison.

I've got some questions regarding the Las Vegas shooting, but asking things like why the rate of fire seen on video is closer to an m240 than an AR with a bump stock is the sort of thing that gets you on the fed's shit list.

A lot of times that people think they hear autofire, it's because of echoes. Are you hearing a high rate of fire, or seeing it?
