---white, male, American citizen, ex-US Marine, trained with firearms, with legally purchased handgun.

^All those things above are usually used by the Right to JUSTIFY owning a gun and proper gun ownership.

This guy murdered 12 people, including a cop with his.

Is it true he had an extended magazine? Those are illegal here. Glocks come with 18 round magazine but here in California we are only allowed a 7 round. So they come with 7 new.

I told my co-worker that people that were in the bar were also at theshooting in Las Vegas.

He commented "Well that will get the conspiracy nuts going."

Dammit. He's right.

Suspect Ian Long served in US Marine Corps from August 2008 to March 2013

From CNN's Ryan Browne

The suspected gunman Ian David Long was on active duty with the US Marine Corps from August 2008 to March 2013, according to Department of Defense records.

At a news conference, Ventura County Sheriff Geoff Dean said Long, 28, used a .45 caliber Glock during last night's shooting at the Borderline Bar & Grill in Thousand Oaks, California.

Went to high school in Agoura Hills, drove through Thousand Oaks every day. This one feels like it hits closer to home. Fuck.

I looked into getting a gun, but my reason is for these mass shootings, not defending my household. I wouldn't be able to do anything in these situations even if I had a gun..

The logic is heavily flawed, so it's good to acknowledge this. A person with bad intent and a firearm will have the upper hand 95% of the time. Not to mention a hand gun vs any military grade firearm is like a WR trying to block a 300lb DT.

These clowns out here really think they are Max Payne or John Wick.

Left in the fifth year? Wonder what his MOS was. Seems to me he either had an extended enlistment period because of training school requirements, or he was kicked out after he re-enlisted.

Still shocked.

The owner of this bar is my friend. He's safe thankfully. We graduated high school together.

A week ago, after the Pittsburgh shooting, Don Lemon was attacked for stating that white men are the biggest terror threat in the US, despite using facts to support his case. Donald Trump Jr called him a moron.

Those middle eastern guys in the caravan are crossing over and committing mass shootings already? Oh wait, just another white guy.

This shit boggle my mind.

Brown guy committing an act of terror? Invade their country, lock down borders, don't allow them in the country, lock kids in cages.

White guy committing act of terror? Thoughts and prayers, this is why more people need to be armed...

Twitter's been infiltrated by 4chan. IIRC, there's a message on /b/ that says nothing there is true, and that you'd be a fool to believe it. I think Twitter should be treated the same way, at this point.

Well stated, tired of seeing and hearing about this bs, but this unfortunately the reality of our country right now.

Uh wtf? Keep that shit out of here, that's besides the point of the issue here.
The gunman, identified by NBC News as a heavily-tattooed, 28-year-old white male

Are you going to say something about the fact that he's white? Or heavily tatted?

There were assholes spreading rumors about him being middle eastern early on. This is sarcasm in response to that.

It's telling how fast people will jump to the shooter being brown. I think it's far more likely these days that it's some alt right incel.

There are troops on the border ready to point guns at foreigners who are hundreds of miles away.

While domestic terrorists are just walking up and down inside the border, free to open fire on whoever they want, whenever they're ready to do so.

And the President (who defunded the groups tasked with investigating the extremism as the first thing he did in office) along with his followers are patting themselves on the back for.keeping America safe.

It's actually lunacy when you think about it.

The right is just fiending for a middle eastern or brown person to do a mass shooting aren't they?

Has that tweet been deleted? I went to look for it, but all I got was a vomit of nonsense about Jim Acosta "karate chopping" an intern and how he never edited his sped-up video...

FUCK THIS FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT

[Coulter garbage edited out]
Yeah, that is shameful. The shooter was "a good guy with a gun". The place had security. He set off smoke bombs, so how exactly would 10 or 20 people firing their guns in a dark, loud and smoke filled room have helped resolve this? Who the fuck knows, just MOAR GUNS PLZ.

The Parkland students should all have had guns too. The crowd at the Vegas concert should all have had guns too. I doubt they could have taken out the shooter, but fuck it, just spray every hotel window and hope for the best, right?

This wouldn't be the first time people or their families have been close to two mass shootings.

This kid in Parkland was in the school during the shootings, and his mother was in the Fort Lauderdale airport the year before when a shooter killed 5.

https://www.cnn.com/2018/02/16/us/annika-dean-florida-son-two-mass-shootings-trnd/index.html

This woman was in the crowd in Vegas when dozens were killed, and she worked at the place the San Bernardino shooter had targeted two years earlier.

If he served 5 years, then I'm betting he was an 03 on a Security Force contract. Which is 5 years. From 2008-2013 he probably deployed to both Iraq and/or Afghanistan.

Not middle eastern, eh? And that is why you shouldn't parrot 'eye witness accounts' in the middle of incidents like this. I have to keep reposting that On The Media 'breaking news' image every time anyway.

It pisses me off so much that it still matters to the right if it was a "middle eastern man". WHO GIVES A FUCK? He still easily got weapons in the US. Even if it was a terrorist attack NRA policies make it difficult to prevent those as well!

This seems to be a result of the failure of three big factors in our current culture, gun control, help with mental health, and caring for veterans. What a great country.
