Maybe I am reaching here, but here is a guy with an arsenal of sophisticated weaponry, but no known knowledge of using them.
What if this guy was murdered to make it look like he was the lone gunman?
What if he fell in with some ISIS types, who did the heavy lifting logistics and shooting, then they murder him, make it look like a suicide, and escape the room somehow—vents,etc.
What if Paddock is a patsy?
19 guns—there have to be records of who sold them if he indeed bought them.
This looks and sounds like a military operation, rather than a lone man who seems like an unlikely person to commit this crime.
What if? It's not implausible, and there are others than ISIS types that might be culpable, but that's all I can say based on the available evidence.
He was a high stakes gambler, losing big could make him compromised and thus easily set up.
That thought occurred to me as well.

And he was suicidal ? By his own hand?
No, this is America, not North Korea. It's illegal to keep a database of gun purchases. The FBI is required by federal law to destroy all records of NICS background checks within 24 hours - as a safeguard to protect our Constitutional gun rights.
You’re not alone in those thoughts.
