I think in rural areas, you're going to have a hard time finding people that care about hearing gunshots. It is probably hard to imagine for people that don't have the experience of living in an area like that, or for people that don't hunt, but it really is just a normal thing, especially during hunting season.

we have a camp on a remote lake in the middle of no where (basically in the heart of hundreds of thousands of acres of managed timberland, miles from the nearest public road). It does get annoying during hunting season when some of the other camp owners use a nearby spot for target practice (basically 'across the road' from a few of the camps, including ours -- not visible because of the trees between us and there, but really only 400 feet or so away -- its pretty much just a spot the timber management company dug out some gravel for road repairs so it makes a decent backstop for target practice. basically a tiny gravel pit). 90% of the time when we go to camp, we are the only people around for miles, but once in a while during hunting season we get some people that shoot constantly. it kind of sucks when they are around.

Hostage Rescue Team has confirmed suicide is a lie, and the Anti-Fa and Middle East connections is absolutely true.

Depends how close they are, there is a gun club 1 mile from my house. I hear shots on the weekends before hunting season, getting tuned up I guess. too many homes around me now to hear a close shot. A few years there was a tree stand just over my property line. No ID tag on it, right on a path I use to walk my dog. I'd bet no one had permission and if it was 6 or so ft west I'd have owned it and it would have been in my garage. But yeah, gun shots are a regular thing around here

In my prior house we lived about 3 miles from a range. By the second week I'd completely phased gunfire out of my perception. "How often's the train go by?"

I'm in the sticks fishing for hours at a time a couple of times a week year round. Heard some yesterday morning on the trout stream I was on and the week before too.

Barely registered and didn't even remember it till reading your post.

It's almost as regular as hearing a rooster.

I don't think anyone reads what he says and thinks "I believe it! That must be the truth!" Out of all the places to get news, a wingnut poster on a message board with no sources is pretty much at the bottom of the list.

I bet no one here can guess the only "source" that is reporting Flag's bogus claim.
 
Re: Days Since Last Mass Shooting: 0 - II

A lawyer from vegas is claiming the shooter lost a personal injury suit against mandalay. If true that adds an interesting twist.
 
Re: Days Since Last Mass Shooting: 0 - II

The number of people quoting flaggy today is disturbing. I know most of them have him on ignore, yet for some reason THIS is when you decide to unhide his posts? This should be the day that you skip them without giving it a second thought.
 
Re: Days Since Last Mass Shooting: 0 - II

Right now somebody could claim aliens from Area 51 affected the shooter's mind, and they'd get air time.

Too much airtime and nothing to fill it.

Honestly, and bbdl (among others, but he's the one in this thread) can confirm this, gunshot sounds in downtown MPLS don't even make me flinch. I hear "pop-pop" and think, "Gee, we should move along at this point." Not saying it as braggadocio, it just doesn't surprise or register with me at this point.

Even odder, if true, is why he’d choose to shoot up a country music event.

I mean there are several events you could choose from. In December, there is a huge marathon that ends at mandalay. My uncle is one of the main sponsors and always runs. It could have been runners at the finish line

So if I'm seeing the latest right (thank you Brent as I haven't been following this today), this gentleman purchased his weapons legally, purchased ammo legally, passed the (minimal) laws and checks as required by Nevada and Federal law legally, but modified his weapons to be fully automatic (illegal).

Then, for reasons unknown, he snapped and decided to take out as many people as possible.


Welp. It's not a gun control issue. This falls upon mental health and the sad state of health care in this country.

I have mentioned elsewhere. It's not the gun laws that need to be fixed. It's our society's attitude that needs to be fixed. We use guns to fix our problems. :(

Unless you believe that guns like an AR-15 should be illegal for a citizen to own.
