Is Carlotta accounted for?

Oh, good question. Lemme check Facebook.


Nothing posted on FB since Friday. Checked her station's FB page and nothing there about any of their employees being involved. They are a hard rock station though, so doubt they would "officially" have anyone there.

It would be nice to hear from her though.

How 'bout it Carlota? Let us know you are ok!

Depends on how you look at it.

I read one report stating that he used both 223 and 308.

Both rounds are available in AR platforms. If you have a drill press and moderate ability, you can piece these things together from online stores, sans FFL (even for the lowers) and its all 100% legal. And if you have the ability to complete an 80% lower, you probably have the ability to go ahead a do some minor grinding here and there to make it fully auto. Even if its prone to failure with poor craftsmanship on your end, at under $700/completed gun, its not hard to image he built well over 10 guns for minimal investment with no real papertrail. One gun fails, move to the next. Or he could have bought back ally guns that were ready to go.

And if a dumbass like me is aware of any of this, others are too...and much craftier.

I'm 100% pro gun, but sadly, its is very easy to buy/create almost anything you want with just a little bit of knowledge and a marginal line of credit.

In case I missed this posted - better look at the hotel windows.

Yes but at that point the weapon becomes illegal. It is against the law to own a post 1986 automatic weapon.

I'm not arguing with you about having a non-stamped (or post ban) automatic weapon being legal or not. I'm simply saying, you can purchase every part needed, skip FFL, have no papertrail, and as far as Uncle Sam knows, you are a legal eagle, and technically you are because you didn't make any illegal purchases. Making it illegal is pretty moot at this point.

However, the moment he knocked out the windows and started firing down, a Daisy BB gun would have been illegal.

Because you're a terrible shot.

concerting a legal weapon into an illegal full auto weapon is also illegal I suspect.

Short of an outright ban on weapons, I'm not sure what additional laws/restrictions can be put in to place. They're already illegal. if someone converts one to full auto, I suspect that the act of converting to full auton is also illegal.

To not be able to protect yourself in your hotel room makes things safer?

Not trying to hijack this thread but man the shit that's going on in this world lately is too challenging to bear and is very overwhelming.

Let's see, we had that massive earthquake in Mexico, hurricanes in Texas, Florida, Puerto Rico, massacre in Las Vegas, heck in Edmonton the other day there was a lone terrorist attack where some dude hit an officer stabbed him and hit 4 pedestrians with a Uhaul truck.

WTF man? This world is ****ed up! If Religion and the good Lord are true, my question to the Lord is why? If you are a creator of all things, why did you decide to place in a pile of sh*t, where there is corruption of humanity, natural disasters and so forth and NOT do a damn thing to fix it all?!?! We keep hearing thy kingdom come and I'm still waiting.

With each passing day, I hate life more because of all the evil in it and I'm losing faith in humanity and God. Okay no hijacking of threads here. Just wanted to let this out! Have a good day everybody.

I think we've spotted your insult of the month.
