The first rule under “Rules” is “Please Be Polite”. I didn’t feel that individual was abiding by the rules. I’m not a very active member but I’ve referred several others to the group because I thought this was an interesting place to exchange information and learn about photography. That does not appear to be the case. It appears to be another social media venting forum for persons with anger issues and personality disorders. I am dropping off and I won’t be referring any more friends. Good luck and good bye all.
Thank you for helping me make that decision. I will. Do the rest of us a favor and win a Darwin Award

In this interview with StevevWynn by Chris Wallace he mentions that he does not allow weapons in his hotels and will kick you out if you bring them in. This might become SOP for high rise higher cost facilities. I understand the concerns with people traveling and staying in motels. They definitely don’t want to leave them in their cars. Doubt you will be staying at the Wynn Resort. As to calling him a psychopath, if he is a radicalized terrorist (still a possibility),then he is fighting for a cause and not just randomly killing for the heck of it. Others might disagree Las Vegas gunman seemed like 'a rational man,' Steve Wynn tells 'Fox News Sunday'

Ex-sniper patient with PTSD with 27 guns - we probably cared for the same patient. I worked at the Warrior Transition Unit at Fort Belvoir.
I agree with background checks but from everything I’ve seen and read he had no obvious mental health issues that would have set off red flags. I still find it interesting that ISIS not once but twice claimed responsibility. They usually don’t do that. It could be a red herring but I hope they research this
That egret shot is Nat Geo professional stuff. One if the best I’ve seen in years. I hope you submit it
Please move your political discussions and comments to FB or Twitter. This site is supposed to be about photography. Thanks

Nice shit. She has that "you'd taste good" look
Nice shots. On my bucket list
These are good pictures. Many years ago I worked in a hospital. I was in the busy notes doctor room and in walked a colleague I hadn't seen in a long time. I said "Hi I haven't seen you in a Coon's age." Meaning in a long time. I was later counseled for my "racist comment". I'm not saying I agree, and I don't because it is not talking about people it's talking about animals...just be careful
just got back myself. great shots
I recommend summer reading "The Ultimatum" by Dick Wolf. Discusses use of drones as weapons of terror. It came out in 2015. Now ISIS is doing it in Mosul. Won't be long before they try it here
