you serious?...why would the NRA want to legalize a silencer - surely there's evil intent using a silencer....what positive motive could you have for using one
I think a more accurate way to describe this would be to talk about demonic influence rather than demonic possession. Satan tempts all of us, and to be so tempted by Satanic forces is therefore typical whereas demonic possession has other connotations.I believe we are dealing with a spiritual battle between good and evil.
And it seems that these mass murders are cases of demon possession.
banning guns are only part of the solution...
what do we do when technology reaches a state where you can make a nuclear bomb in your own garage for just $50,000 worth of supplies from various online stores and some uranium you buy from the darknet???
The Las Vegas shooter acted like he had no trace of humanity whatsoever on the day that he did what he did. He acted like a murdering robot. That's why it seems that he was demon possessed.I think a more accurate way to describe this would be to talk about demonic influence rather than demonic possession.

Demons are aware of their own evil. There nature is to actively chose bad.
Satan however is also the Father of lies, and the big lie here is to persuade people to do evil things by convincing them that such evil acts are actually moral on some level. People are thus operating with control of their own faculties, but on the basis of believing in the lie that what they are doing is good.
For example, in WWII many Europeans were convinced that they were doing the world a favor by getting rid of the Jews, and homosexuals and gypsies too for that matter.
The same is true for the Islamist jihadists who fly planes into buildings. They have been convinced that almighty God is on their side.
If demonic possession, then exorcism is the way forward.
But if demonic influence, the way to counter the lies of Satan is with the truth.
The truth that the West has forgotten is that we are created in the image of God, and that from conception until its natural end, all human life is imbued with immeasurable sacred value.
My point was if someone is bound and determine to cause harm they WILL no matter what method they use.
How many people could he have killed using the explosives he had?How many people would Stephen Paddock have killed or maimed by throwing rocks from that 32nd floor window...?
The evidence doesn’t bear that claim out. The countries with the lowest incidence of gun violence also tend to be less religious...

The Oklahoma City bombing killed 168 people. And the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks killed about 3.000 people in a single day without using a gun.Who knows, but I’d guess that it would be fewer than with those rifles. All you’ve done is to highlight that there are other materials that should have restricted access as well...
You're not going to stop it.
Ban Guns, they'll use explosives.
Ban the sell of explosives, they'll make it themselves.
Ban equipment for making explosives ?? (Can't really be done) They'll make biological weapons (Ever mix Ammonia & bleach, are we going to ban cleaning agents ? )
Want some other mixture, Hit Google, Bing, Yahoo, or any search engine.
Or go to the library, Going to ban all that?
Then people will go back to dialup BBS (That's where I first found the anarchist cookbook)
Want to reduce it, increase mental health screenings (might have to have forced yearly screening though)
Force everyone to walk (Ban all cars / trucks as they've been used in multiple attacks)
Skin tight clothing only, no pockets to hide stuff. Single ID Band for identification, and give up your freedoms of travel, privacy, self control, ect.
LA, NO and Chicago aren't part of the US?
Wait! Enlighten me how firearms are the problem and not humans. I have owned firearms and NEVER has any of them jumped up and shot anything.... without a human.
I think there's another point about this madman... his plans were more than just all his firearms... surely he was bent on taking many lives and would have without firearms.
We don’t know that because it didn’t happen. What we do know is that the use of those rifles permitted him to kill nearly 60 and injure nearly 500......in just minutes!

Yes, easy access to buying 33 firearms in one year...without a visit by ATF to see if he was a collector or what... makes me think of a conspiracy theory that might be true...
I doubt it was just him. Ever use a bump stock? Even a regular stock on a "machine gun" will ruin your shoulder... and where was the pause as he supposedly moved from one window to the other????
