Just learned via a mutual friend that someone on HawkeyeReport had a close friend who was shot but should be okay. I'll let that person update you if they want.
Shooting Reported at Las Vegas Casino Hotel
- Thread starter HotelAlphaWilcoKilo
- Start date
Here's an example of just one kind of trigger that will essentially make your ar full auto. Technically not full auto, but you would not know the difference.
Dude, trust me they sell kits that will make your at full auto. If you go to YouTube there's a million vids showcasing different trigger kits.
Not 100% sure, but I believe this guy lives in or near the same retirement community as Coach Fry.
That's an even scarier thought. Two people planning and carrying out mass murder.
Thanks for the kind thoughts. I just heard from my friend in Vegas. He's okay.
We didn't get into any details of what he saw or experienced, I didn't want push the issue. I'm just glad he's fine, but my heart is broken for the families and friends that are getting much worse news.
We have a gun problem is not, or at least should not be, a political statement.
We have a mental health problem — same.
Overreacting to statements like this is the show of politics.
Ts & Ps makes you feel like you care. Act like you care and open yourself to the hard work and hard decisions, including even some perceived loss of "liberty" to address the problem. Act like you care and open yourself to the realities — political, economic, socio-cultural, and otherwise — that got us to this point.
We're restricted from yelling "FIRE" in a crowded movie theater. Does anybody take great issue with that loss of liberty? I mean, damn, it restricts the most holy of rights. But anything that even has a whiff of restriction to amendment 2? No way, man.
If it turns out someone I know, a friend or family member, is a victim in this shooting, I absolutely want people to wake the fvck up and start doing something. Save the Ts & Ps crap for the weak-minded.
I will state state that no problem. I never said it did not happen on here. I did say I've watched intriguing documentaries. these guys like tom paris are clearly talking about alex jones and clyde lewis and the professor and some sort of guest on the alex jones show that gordo pointed out to me one time. but those dudes never said "it" never happened. {except maybe the alex jones guest} but usually the conspiracy dudes don't say "it" never happened. what they do say is the amount of deaths is off or the parents acted strangely or lanza 's dad was cia. stuff like this.
I'll bite.
I have zero issue with someone having a pistol or pistols for self defense, nor do I have an issue with them legally carrying them concealed.
I have zero issue with someone having a shotgun for hunting or home defense.
I have zero issue with someone having a semi auto, bolt action, pump action, lever action, rolling block, falling block, breech loading, or any other kind of rifle (to include AR-15 style, gasp) for hunting, targets, plinking, etc.
I actually have no issue with silencers (common term, since they don't "silence" a weapon unless it's firing sub sonic ammo). Hearing loss caused by a large number of firing ranges and tank gunneries with insufficient hearing protection will do that.
I do have a massive problem with someone having a machine gun (any fully automatic weapon, really). A civilian has zero need for one.
I also see no reason for high capacity magazines.
I see no reason for someone to have a semi auto version of a sub machine gun carried at the low ready in a combat sling in the normal civilian world (saw that recently, IIRC in Kansas).
I'm sure I can give some thought and come up with more, that all is just off the top of my head.

Not watching the video, but I assume your talking about the aftermarket lightning kits that were the rage 5-6 years ago. A lot of people used to do similar things with semi auto Ruger 10/22's as well. What I'm getting at, is that even with the FA bolt carrier and trigger (NFA stamp required), you still need the auto sear and required lower to go truly full auto.
"Truly Auto"...maybe I guess. But what's the fvcking difference if you're getting the same rounds per minute?
Same with a large duffel bag style suitcase. One could easily have 2 of those and get 2-3 weapons in each with a few hundred rounds of ammunition. Throw in a golf bag with one of those airline shipping containers over it, there's another couple.
And it would appear completely legitimate.
You are confusing full auto with accelerated trigger pull. They do NOT make the weapon fully automatic. With that said, there is no doubt enhanced trigger sets can achieve very rapid fire.
Jason Aldean's wife said they're both fine and their angels were watching over them. Sucks not everyone had those..
I realize this is not a full auto conversion, just did a quick google search and this popped up. If you watch the video you will quickly realize the rate of fire is similar to the videos taken in Vegas.
Yep....big resort locale, no one bats an eye at a container sized to fit multiple assault pieces....
The documentaries are not 'intriguing'. They are horseshit.
Parents acted 'strangely'? Well, no shit. Most parents freak the f**k out when they learn there is an active shooting situation in their child's school.
I've read conspiracy theorists claim that the parents were "crisis actors". They claimed one little girl who posed for a photo with President Obama was one of the girls supposedly killed in the attack. It was actually a sister of one of the girls killed in the attack, wearing the deceased girl's dress.
I've even seen conspiracy nuts claim that it was suspicious the way the parents parked, as if there is some sort of blueprint for sensible parking in a tense life-or-death situation. I constantly see people who can't park a car for shit when there's a dusting of snow on the ground, let alone when they are racing to the school to find out if their child is still alive.
Please...thoroughly reject any and all conspiracy theories related to the Sandy Hook shooting. Do not give those assholes any credibility.
Ban em! Right down the line.
Oh, if only everybody was packin...they could have fired back.
Why? You think they might be browsing HROT looking for info? How does a discussion here affect their sensibilities? As for me, I'm kind of sick of people making your claim. This IS political and only politics has any hope of changing things.
I really have not been coming on hrot saying the conspiracy theorists are right or wrong on any of this. I have just been saying I find the documentaries interesting. I find 9-11 docs interesting too. and Ferrari docs and restoring cars. the main thing that freaked me out one time on hrot was fred was trying to say that I once said hurricane sandy never happened! I dunno how he mixed those two up, probably did it to throw me off.
I see people are already making this political— starting with Hillary and I’m sure Trump will too here shortly (if he hasn’t already).
Just start reporting OiT when he makes the claims Sandy Hook was "staged" or whatever. That kind of nonsense doesn't belong anywhere. He can go post in the conspiracy theorists corner of the internet, but not here...
