Las Vegas Police Investigating Shooting at Mandalay Bay Casino
Nonnel:
his logic is that there are no guns manufactured in japan/the pacific so it's hard to smuggle them in. which is false.
japan doesn't even have an outright ban, either. as i understand it, you just have to take a day-long class and pass safety/common sense tests as well as a psychological evaluation so you can get a permit to buy a hunting rifle or air gun.

Who is manufacturing weapons in Japan? Anybody who manufacturers firearms in Japan is almost certainly primarily a machinery and electronics company that produces firearms on the side. If they aren't working for the government developing military firearms for, uh, the cold war, they're making .22 varmint rifles and shotguns and giving them to nobody.
The point being: Nobody cares about what works in Japan. Or Australia. Or Luxembourg. The situation is unique in America.

Yeah I see
That's the biggest reason why I'm curious to know what he used
I googled "bump fire" cuz like i said earlier that was the first I heard of it, I was reading into it a bit and there's many news articles mentioning it. Hard to know whether it's official word, or just one news source stealing speculation from another

why would this not work in the US? how is taking military contracts and making some shotguns and hunting rifles on the side for civilian purchase after a safety test and mental evaluation not sufficient?
