US Warning for Los Cabos & Fiesta Americana

Well...automatic or not does not matter because the outcome was still the same - many innocent people died that day. "If it quacks like a duck..."

Agreed. I think the important thing to keep in mind is there powerful weapons in the US, Mexico and plenty of other countries as well. Unfortunately stuff happens everywhere now. That said, everyone needs to consider their own personal comfort level when traveling. Sanitation, food safety, street crimes, terrorism, and even natural events can ruin your vacation...

Dead is Dead. No matter the caliber. No matter the type of weapon - knife, machete, sword, long gun, hand gun, etc. I just believe in being accurate.

We were in Las Vegas when the recent shooting took place from Mandalay Bay. The Semi-Automatic Weapons were converted to an Automatic Weapons. Relatives, and friends of those killed and the 500 survivors that were hit with the bullets would not differentiate between the type of weapons used. Automatic weapons were used!

This incident didn't involve a drug related motive and the people killed and doing the killing were NOT involved in drugs.

We prefer to stay in the United States for our trips because we feel more comfortable in our country, knowing our customs, and hopefully have the protection of our laws and the enforcement of our laws. Lapses in the fair enforcement of our laws is a concern for many in our country.

My original post did not get into being dead or injured by getting shot. It was just in response to the automatic weapon comment.

We travel all over the world and the US has thousands of citizens killed each year in drug, gang and violent crimes with guns.....to say the US is safer then other parts of the world is pure fantasy.....

Automatic weapons were not used in Las Vegas. The guy had fitted his semi-automatic weapons with "bump or bumper stocks." The trigger still had to be pulled each time to send a round down range. The "bump or bumper stocks" simply allow/caused the trigger to be pulled quicker. Also an AR-15 is a specific make of semi-automatic rifle. There are many manufacturers of semi-automatic rufles in various calibers - 5.56, 7.62, etc. No automatic rifle has been used in a mass shooting event in the USA, since I think the 1930's. The lack of knowledge about firearms is well demonstrated by all News people. They frequently and inaccurately refer to M-16, AR-15, semi-automatic, automatic, etc. Bumper stocks are widely available for various long guns and the ATF has declined to regulate them.

I acknowledge and concur with your precise definition of automatic, semi-automatic, and bumper stock modified semi-automatic. My point and position on all 3 of these weapons is that they have an excellent capacity to kill a great deal of people without a great deal of careful and accurate aim. Furthermore, my question to any civilian who desires to possess these weapons is what is your reason for having them except to kill a lot of people easily.

There is no denying the fact that crime exist in USA like any other part of the world. Big difference is the lawlessness that exist in many other part of the world along with crime. Bribe is common among officials and when they are part of the problem, it is hard to know whom to trust.
