He was shooting from the 32nd floor. You (or at least I) forget how deadly firearms can still be at range.

Initial reports sound like he was using an automatic weapon spraying into a dense crowd. If he was 400 feet up, and shooting across the street, that means he is firing at a range of, what...200 meters or so? Maybe 300m?

That isn't far at all for a high powered rifle or some kind of light machine gun.

Pretty much. Elevated position + 100 to 200 meters + Mass target tightly grouped + Automatic rifle = High causality count. (Don't have to be expert with the rifle either.)

Probably lost all his money at the Casinos.

Maybe he paid a lot for the hotel room and just got really frustrated he couldn't enjoy it with the country music playing really loud.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

country music has this effect on some people.
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

Languish wants to know how often you corrected people about proper firearms nomenclature by yelling at the TV today.

I've already rolled my eyes a couple of times at people ranting about silencer legislation.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Fully auto is illegal isn't it?  Is the hottie breaking the law and filming it?

Here's a good write up

Though an AR-15 fitted with a Bump Fire stock can fire hundreds of rounds per minute, the ATF found the add-on doesn't turn a semiautomatic rifle into a machine gun. The devices are just this side of legal.

Of course you haven't.  Now, if his name were Ay-Sheet mah-Drawarz, we'd be chatting into the night about who we'd bomb in retaliation in the fight against Radical Islamic TerrorismTM. 

But the usual crazy white guy?  Boor-ring.
