Comment on Why don't we hear more about the 2017 Las Vegas shooting? It was the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history, we never found a motive, and it seems no one ever mentions it.

For those of us who don’t wank ourselves to sleep every night to pictures of guns and have no idea what the fuck a bump stock is -

Essentially, bump stocks assist rapid fire by “bumping” the trigger against one’s finger (as opposed to one’s finger pulling on the trigger), thus allowing the firearm’s recoil, plus constant forward pressure by the non-shooting arm, to actuate the trigger

Interesting observation, I’d have thought anyone old enough at the time to follow news of the largest mass shooting in history would have known, especially since bump stocks became one of the largest causes of gun debate at the time, before Glock switches. Since you don’t ~~watch news about gun violence~~ wank yourself to sleep watching gun videos every night, here’s what that is:

A Glock switch or Glock auto-sear (sometimes called a button or a giggle switch) is a small device that can be attached to the rear of the slide of a Glock handgun, converting the semi-automatic pistol into a machine pistol capable of fully automatic fire.

    Have you tried…not shooting people?
    
    If two people get shot in London or Paris, it’s massive news, and laws get changed.
    
    If ten people get shot in the US, we kinda just shake our heads, and yous do fuck all
