        He very clearly had a fully automatic rifle from the video and gun fire that could be heard. This doesn't mean that he didn't purchase a semi-automatic rifle and change the components inside to make it such.

        In any case I hope those that were shoot survive, as for this guy, he's dead. Not sure what else there is to do at this point.

        They've started questioning his wife, and have a search warrant for his residence.

        Which something I heard on the news is he was living at a retirement community. I'm surprised they didn't have some kind of policy against weapons of this nature.

                  Yh sucks balls, but in all honestly I am somewhat relieved it is not inspired by religion... my religion.

                  Not trying to be an asshole, but its just the way of the world... if you ask me they should allow fire arms but just pistols for residents, like old revolvers or some new tech that will allow gun shots to be traced or located when fired.

                  Who cares if you are legal gun owner and have firearm, and if you shoot it in an urgent scenario like thief, you want the cops to know about it and arrive. So its cool if they made something like this, limited ammo and GPS and notification when fired.

                    It's horrific what happened, but I can't stand the media.

                    Ah, it was a "gunman", not a "terrorist". Funny how the media defines things. The article clearly states it's not an "overseas terrorist".

                    So I guess if you are an American citizen, not from overseas, then you can't be a terrorist, no matter what you do.

                    But if you are from overseas, and have a specific religion, then you are a terrorist... no matter what you do.

                      We were just at breakfast with a guy whose daughter texted to say that four of her freiends had died at the concert.

                        @tim_g Suspect is also a 64 year old retiree. Cant possibly be labelled a terrorist...

                          No one said not a terrorist, not a foreign terrorist is all that I am hearing. No links to outside or foriegn groups. Still creating terror, just domestic.

                            That's my point.

                            The media only labels someone a terrorist if they are of foreign nationality and of a specific religion. That's where my issue lies.
