, makes me want to stay away from sporting events and concerts for good. We're all easy target
As a veteran, let me give you some hard-earned advice. " when it is your time to go, it is your time to go."
This venue was particularly vulnerable with high rise buildings overlooking an open field crowd. But I do hear what you're saying.
Honestly, I am surprised we do not have more stuff like this shooting. Bottom line is we are vulnerable but you can't really stop all attacks without giving up a ton of freedom.
Illegal gun was used in the shooting and illegal attachment.
What a bad guy got am illegal gun despite it being against the law? Gun laws only work for honest people, just as locked doors only stop an honest man.
You can modify legal guns to fire automatically, though it is illegal. Some gunsmiths can do and I am sure that there are instructions on the net. It is very technical stuff though.
What was the motive? Shooting up a country music festival. The seemed to have some sophistisfication in his planning. So he was not crazy. I think I read he had a criminal past.
It is a terrible thing and my condolensces to those who lost loved ones.
