FBI says they have found no evidence of a connection with ISIS.

Death toll now at 58

She's linked to a news paper article and it's been reported on Fox News as a possibility.

Quit trying to stir sh*t where it doesn't need to be stirred.

FOX News in thier wild speculation said the reloading skill shows the shooter was probably a well trained veteran.   Yea, I barfed too.

Just coming out.

The shooter had filed a lawsuit against the Casino.  A 'slip and fall' lawsuit that was dismissed.

I believe it was already reported he wasn't a veteran.

Plus, with a magazine fed rifle, it doesn't take a lot of special skill to reload if you have your magazines ready.

The FBI is no longer a credible organization. The FBI has become political agent for the uniparty.

I used to be a fairly common sight.
It wasn't that long ago that kids would bring a gun to school and we would re-blue barrels, make new firing pins, refinish stocks, etc..... and no one thought twice about it.

But ISIS is credible?

C'mon guys.  Let's stop arguing over rumors and wait for further investigations to be completed.

Yep, this sounds more credible.

I think there was some other case that I can't remember, where a shooter went after a business in this way over a grudge.  Maybe I will remember it later.

Different casino and ownership group.  Probably unrelated.
I disagree.  Circle gets the square.

And now schools are gun-free zones. Perfect targets for some crazy guy with the right firepower.

Yet still far more credible than twitter and internet speculation.

Death toll up to 59.

515 injured.

They really should split the injured into "injured by gunfire" and "other causes," because I'm imagining quite a few people were probably trampled or whatnot.

Then again, I'm not watching the news, so what do I know?
How to lose credibility while posting:
1. Trump is never wrong.
2. Default to the most puerile emoticon you can find. This is especially useful when you can't win an argument on merits.
3. Be falsely ingratiating, completely but politely dismissive without talking to the points, and bring up Hillary whenever the conversation is really about conservatism.
4. When all else fails, remember rule #1 and #2. Emoticons are like the poor man's tweet!

They did when I was in high school, and it wasn't in the 1950s. I graduated HS in the 90s. We had hunting safety class and it wasn't unusual for someone to bring a hunting rifle to class to learn how to properly clean it. During deer season, you would often see rifles on racks in truck windows in the school parking lot. The rule was keep it unloaded, keep your vehicle locked.

It would help if they'd stop qualifying such statements. They are so focused as to be meaningless.

Right now, I doubt anyone has time to split up the number of injured.  From what I heard this morning, the hospitals are in enough chaos just trying to treat all the injured.  One reporter talked about one hospital as being especially trained and equipped to handle mass casualties, but even that hospital is having trouble keeping up with treating the injured.  I doubt anyone can be that prepared for something like this.

Uuugh, a suppressor effects ballistics so it would reduce effectiveness for something that far. Plus, with a higher powered rifle, it doesn't reduce the sound very much.

Democrats think that life is accurately portrayed in the movies.  Thy honestly believe a "silencer" silences a gun to just a pfft sound.....idiots.

I've had fox news coverage and heard nothing like what was alluded to earlier. That's not their style.
