It is really easy to buy a gun in the state of Nevada. They have guns in pawn shops as well. This act of cowardice should also be declared a terrorist attack. Media is quick to claim terrorism when a brown person is involved. RIP to the victims. Wanted to visit Vegas in November not anymore.

It is really sad waking up to such horrific news!

May all the people who lost their lives RIP.  Prayers for those injured.

For the life of me, have never understood why regular Americans would need guns for their safety.  That's what the law enforcement officials are for.  That's how the rest of the world operates.

What's worse is that the gun control laws are not even stringent so it's pretty easy for people to get their hands on such deadly weapons.

Every so often we hear of shootings (at malls, schools, concerts etc) across USA.  And yet NRA is still not classified as a terrorist organization. 🥱

You cannot easily buy guns in US, for every gun purchase there is a federal background check, your firearm is registered with ATF. Also the gun used in the attack was an automatic rifle which has been banned in the US since 1986.

In Nevada it's really easy no background checks

US Government trumps Nevada government.  same as government of India trumps government of Maharashtra.  

Every firearm you purchase there is background check done on you by FBI, ATF.  Gunshop owners will not sell you a gun without a background check, if they do so then they lose their license to sell guns.  Gun laws are really strict in US, not easy to obtain a gun today.
