I'll go look it up as soon as I proofread my posts and try to correct spelling errors. For some reason silly errors only pop out at me after I hit post.
As far as I can tell Nevada is friendly to NFA weapons. The site that I checked stopped updating after 2001 though, so it wouldn't cover any recent laws.
Now they're saying the guy had TWENTY (formerly ten) firearms - many of them long rifles - in the hotel room.
Which scenario do you think is most likely?
1) He casually carried all those weapons in, and no one noticed.
2) People noticed the large number of firearms but extended an older white man the assumption of having some legitimate business for having them there.
I'm leaning toward number two. And allowing that, what chance do you think a person of color would have of walking into a hotel with twenty guns?
Quote:White House says now not the time for gun debate
‘I think that we can have those policy conversations, but today is not that day,’ Sarah Huckabee Sanders says in the wake of the Las Vegas shooting.
...Majority Leader Mitch McConnell similarly urged patience while addressing the Senate chamber on Monday, sidestepping calls from some of his Democratic colleagues to immediately engage in a broader policy debate.
McConnell said that while many questions lingered surrounding Sunday’s shooting, “what is clear now is that this is a moment for national mourning and prayer."
Sen. John Cornyn of Texas was more pointed, saying that "politicizing" the Sunday shooting was "beyond disgusting."

The period of mourning will last 100 years.

...It's extremely unusual for the Education secretary to be protected by marshals — the past four Education secretaries have been protected by the Education Department’s own small security force.

What the **** is wrong with these people? Pruitt and DeVos seem, so far, to be the worst culprits. This is paranoia at the level of Roger Ailes. I'd love to know whose idea this was/is.
@blatham,
Considering how unhinged the extreme left-wing has become since the election, I'm not surprised by the extra security. I mean we already had one left-wing Bernie supporter take shots at US politicians while they were practicing for a ball game.

Deranged liberals are very dangerous. It is important to protect government officials.
@blatham,
Read much?
'Washington (CNN)Education Secretary Betsy DeVos uses her own private plane for work trips and pays for it herself, her office said Thursday.
Her office told CNN she has never requested the use of any government aircraft. The Associated Press first reported the arrangement.
DeVos is extremely wealthy; Forbes has estimated her worth at upwards of $1 billion.
The travel of Cabinet officials has been under scrutiny since it was revealed that Secretary of Health and Human Services Tom Price flew on five private jets for work trips last week, costing taxpayers thousands of more dollars than had he flown commercially. And it was reported earlier this month that Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin asked the White House about the possibility of using a government jet for his European honeymoon this summer before later withdrawing the request.
In contrast, DeVos travels on a personally owned aircraft, accompanied by her security detail and, whenever possible, additional support staff, at no cost to US taxpayers, Education Department spokesperson Liz Hill told CNN.'

@hightor,
Thanks. It seems to me we don't hear enough about European countries. I'm beginning to think it's by design.

Nothing wrong with current gun laws, people have right to bear arms. Period.
What it might need to change, is the kind of arm that a person can carry in zones allowed to bear arms freely in the city or farm.
The control must not affect the selling or buying of arms, neither their caliber or if the weapon is automatic, etc.
The control must be enforced in the aspect of what kind of arms will be allowed to be taken with the person, in his vehicle, by the body guards, etc.
For example, if this kind of control was enforced with this shooter in Las Vegas, he should have been allowed to carry his gun only.
In his property, he should have been allowed to have as many rifles, guns, knives, baseball bates, broken dishes, whatever he wants to use in order to practice self defense, playing fighting against North Korea, whatever.

By the time he walked from the door to the front desk there'd be ten squad cars pulling up outside.

Exactly. The only way forward involves killing the NRA folks, en masse, since they are murdering the country en masse.

It is no surprise that liberals want to murder people who value freedom.
Thankfully we have police to put liberals in jail when they attempt to harm people who disagree with them.

The NRA are doing no such thing. All they do is protect our freedom from the liberals.
