I hope all of our local Vegas Peeps are OK after the shooting last night.
Myself and the family are good.

Happy Monday Nevada and friends. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Shooting eh? Sounds like a typical day in Fresno to me. LOL. Seriously, hope everyone is okay.

Wow. That is a battleground, not a shooting. What is wrong with people these days?

Guy fired from 32nd floor of hotel into an outdoor country music festival.
Everyone is screaming gun control, but he had full auto rifles. Those are already illegal!

Afternoon Guys.

Wow, this shooting is awful. What is wrong with people?

Clark County (Las Vegas) has the toughest gun laws in the State of Nevada. They didn't work here. So lets make them tougher that might work. The people that are calling for tougher gun laws are crazy. What drives a person to go through the work & planning to carry out such an EVIL act as this is. We all need to pray for Las Vegas & its people.
This is truly a sad day for Nevada.

Greg glad to hear you & your family are OK.

Tougher gun control is not the answer. Guns don't kill people. People kill people. The guns he had are already illegal, so making more laws would not have prevented this. He got the guns illegally, which as everyone knows, is how criminals get guns. They never buy them legally, so making tougher laws will not stop someone who is planning something as horrific as this.

Good morning Nevada. Prayers for those affected by the cowardly act in Las Vegas. Gun laws will only guarantee we are all unarmed, to make it easier for the criminals and terrorist to achieve their goals.

Good morning guys

Thank you for starting the October Thread.

What a traumatic week in Nevada (Weds-current) between all of the motorcycle accidents/fatalities during Street Vibrations to the Las Vegas shootings!
Greg, I'm so glad that you guys are okay. How close are you to where the shooting happened? My thoughts & prayers go out to anyone that went or knows someone who went to the concert... I hope they're safe & can recover quickly with little to no PTSD.

Yesterday was an emotional day for me.
My father passed away 32 yrs ago & it hasn't gotten any easier. On a somewhat brighter note, my granddaughter Ariana turned 2 y/o. Unfortunately, we couldn't celebrate it because she & her little sister Amaya are both sick. At least we can have a birthday party for her once they get better.

Good Morning Gang.

I agree Jim. Except today they are saying he bought the guns legally & passed 30 background checks in buying them. I think he either modified or had someone modify those that where full auto.

It is truly a horrific tragedy that bring tears to my eyes. I think of all the times my wife & I were on the Strip in that area. We were just in LV last week. You just never know if or when you could be caught in a awful situation.

So many young people died & were wounded. 22,000+ will have to live with that terror their whole lives. Our hearts go out to all of them & their families.
