Were any Rally Point members caught in the mess in Las Vegas?

Hope for speedy recovery

i hope he is well

Don't ask. Post. It can't hurt.

I hope they will all be well. Someone from this area of NW TN was killed while shielding his wife. I believe she was a sports medicine type that worked with some teams in the area and he was a nurse. Tragic deaths and injuries all.

SSG Robert Webster - at the time I posted last night there was only one link, here's a look at how it has developed since, there seem to be a lot of credible sources

CWO3 (Join to see) - An interesting bullet point at the top of the CNBC article shows how inept that some reporters and their sources can be. See below:
The devices could have converted semi-automatic firearms into fully automatic ones, officials said.
A semi-automatic weapon requires one trigger pull for each round fired. With a fully automatic firearm, one trigger pull can unleash continuous rounds until the magazine is empty.

A bump stock device does not make the weapon an automatic weapon. What it really does (and why they are currently legal) is that it assist the individual in actuating the trigger multiple times in rapid succession. Adding a spring to the device may make it illegal, but it still requires the trigger to be actuated for each round fired, but it still does not make it a machine gun by the definition as used by the ATF.

For the purposes of the National Firearms Act the term Machinegun means:
1. Any weapon which shoots, is designed to shoot, or can be readily restored to shoot, automatically more than one shot without manual reloading, by a single function of the trigger
​
2. The frame or receiver of any such weapon
​
3. Any part designed and intended solely and exclusively or combination of parts designed and intended for use in converting a weapon into a machinegun, or
 
4. Any combination of parts from which a machinegun can be assembled if such parts are in the possession or under the control of a person.
(Numbers added by me for clarification. Note 1 and 2, and the specifics of: by a single function of the trigger.)

"Two officials familiar with the investigation told the AP that Paddock had two bump stocks. They are investigating whether those stocks were used to modify weapons used in the massacre, according to the officials, who were briefed by law enforcement and spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is still unfolding."
Note that it says that they are 'still' investigating whether those stocks were used to modify weapons used in the massacre. Also note that this came from a secondary source: "...according to officials, who were briefed by law enforcement..."; not a primary source.
