Anyone know if this IHOP has a gunbuster sign?

That is a tragedy. I hope the victims all have a full recovery. Having said that:

I thoroughly agree. I'm wondering, though, whether nobody was armed or if the shooter just caught everyone off guard. This is Nevada. We have shall issue and open carry. He walked in with a rifle, after just having fired it right outside.

Sheriff Kenny Furlong told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that the suspect fired at restaurant customers before shooting himself. He said the shooter is not expected to survive, according to the newspaper.

If you want to kill yourself do so before shooting others.

The above link has been updated. Two National Guard soldiers and one civilian died, in addition to the psycho.

My impression is that NV has always been a gun friendly state.

Sadly, it does not seem that the carrying or not carrying of guns seem to make a difference with incidents like this.

It wasn't immediately clear whether the gunman had any connection with the military or the Guard and authorities weren't saying whether the attack targeted the Guard members, who were meeting at the restaurant.

So they were meeting there. Was this duty related? Assuming so, I'm guessing they were in uniform and prohibited from carrying? Correct?

I did see a news report that claims the shooter to be an ex-employee.

Really, how does one fail at IHOP?

Drinking and partying, up late watching porn on interweb, late to work?

Who knows.

Sometimes pure trash is just trash.....

Carson City Sheriff Kenny Furlong says the man was 32-year-old Eduardo Sencion of Carson City. He says Sencion worked at a family business in South Lake Tahoe, was not in the military, and had no known affiliations with anyone inside the restaurant.

Random, psychotic act of violence?

His family has stated that he has a history of mental illness, so it's possible.

Here comes the mental health / medical records check associated to NICS that the dems want so badly...

And to the wishy-washy stoopid masses who don't understand the principle behind "who gets to decide what crazy is?", they'll see us all who oppose it as whackos.

I don't doubt they'll try it, but if they didn't get it after Jared Lee Loughner, they ain't getting it after this guy.

So now three NG soldiers are dead, and one civilian. And for no discernible reason.

Also, if you read all the way through, I think you'll see that this person has a point

The local paper said the shooter was an agent for a south lake Tahoe grocery store. I have no idea what "agent" means. The family said he had mental issues. A local news station played a clip of a witness saying it sounded like auto fire. I seriously doubt that he had the money for a fully auto AK.

Or just file down the firing pin. "Everyone" knows that.

"agent for a south lake Tahoe grocery store" = bagger.

That kind of garbage really irritates me.

He was either 'coached' for a nice news soundbite, or he was talking BS to enjoy his 15 minutes of fame.

Speaking the truth these days is a very infrequent occurrence in any venue.....

Could have been bump-firing, I suppose.

Probably just Walter Mitty syndrome, like most guys who pretend to know the difference in the sound of a. 30-06 from that of a .45 Colt.

Judging by the wound, I would say that it was a 54R sniper rifle with a laser sight.

No kidding!

"Damn, must have been a 50 cal."
"No, you idiot, it was a .22"
"Yea, well, it was a loud .22"

I have seen similar garbage happen.....
