Irrelevant. A suppressor would have made little to no difference in the outcome. It's kinda sad that you are so gung-ho on politicizing this.

Why would that matter. It is reported that his weapon was an automatic weapon. Most bullets for automatics break the sound barrier and a suppressor would not help reduce the weapons report.

Don't confuse them with facts.

On a side note. I think this is a big reason attendance is down across all entertainment. When I go to an Indians game and it's always with free tickets because I don't have this pressing need to see events live. I would much rather be at my house. The picture is 1000x's better and the food and drinks are better and cheaper. I always worry about an active shooter. This is a part of our lives now.

Silencers don't suppress the sound like they do in the movies.

Shhh, let them them ramble on incoherently about something of which they know little...

He's gone full Saul Alinsky/Rahm Emanuel.

About as close as you can get to Hollywood silenced sound is a bolt action .22 rifle with a VERY good suppressor and sub-sonic rounds and even then you won't silence the report. Mach, educate yourself before spouting off about something you obviously know nothing about, PLEASE.

Does Rahm politicize shootings? I know his hometown is the murder capital of the world, so there's plenty of opportunity.

I wonder if a bump fire stock was used. I just installed one on my AR but haven't used it yet. And yes, they are legal (for now)

Don't know but he has been quoted as saying "never let a good crisis go to waste".

I have one for mine, which is almost done. All I need is a bcg and charging handle it will be ready to test fire.

so this guy killed himself before the police got there

Funny how both sides on this board is quick to politicize this tragedy. Blaming antifa before any details were out???? Being quick to jump on the gun control debate???? Never mind the fact that over 50 families have a loved one who is not coming home from what was supposed to be a fun entertaining evening.

This board is proof of what the f is wrong with America. No compassion. Only reaction is how many points can this incident score for my side.

He could be bump firing...or could have modified the weapon(s) himself...the rate of fire seems to vary which is a bit odd...almost like it is cycling up and down. If he had purchased the weapon as an automatic I would expect to hear a constant rate of fire.

All I know is that I'll be avoiding social media and newspaper Comment threads more than usual now. You all know how it goes. It's going to get very ugly for a while.

So before the race of the shooter was known, people speculate it was definitely a left winger maybe Antifa but now that we know it was a white male he politics must be all over the place?

Come on man.

Agree. Sad.
