I found that strange, too. Why bring all those guns up to the room? Makes me wonder if the plan was for someone else to be shooting as well but that they backed out.

HOW DID HE GET PAST EVERYONE WITH ALL THE AMMO AND WEAPONS IN THE HOTEL??????

An AR15/AR10 will fit very nicely inside a guitar case, with room left over for ammo, handgun, etc. Would hotel staff think anything of somebody carrying a guitar case in a hotel that's going to host a music festival?

Or, how about a golf bag? I could get several rifles in a golf bag. Plus, the AR type rifle can be reduced in size by half, easily.

Like Thomas Wictor, I think the family is lying. They knew.

The one brother that did say something was shaky at best.

We still need lots of info to better piece this together.

you are correct - he could have flown without valid medical.

or even what 2 aircraft he owned ? might make a difference if owned a Twin Otter versus a SuperCub with our deep state theories ( LOL )

I don’t see any pics or video of the stands he built.

Am I missing it?

I’ve been playing 60’s and 70’s music over the past few weeks hoping I wake up and I’m 11 years old sleeping on the beach under the ratty old umbrella my parents had.

Recent reports seem to agree that he was a multi-millionaire high roller regular at the casino. One can’t help but wonder if such people are held to the same standards of scrutiny most people would be.

They aren't. Gamble and lose enough money and they'll give you a free room.

Plus his "girlfriend," if that's what she was, was in the gambling business, though I'm not sure exactly what her connections were.

Multiple trips of someone ferrying in their own bags would certainly have been noticed by those who make their living from tips from carrying those bags.

I wonder if the investigation will be thorough enough to look into this detail by interviewing bellhops and video, or if it will just be accepted “as is”. Time will tell.

I used to carry several rifles bundled in a duffle bag before I lost them in an unfortunate canoeing accident.

My father in law is a Reno high roller. He makes serious bank on slots. He may be down $10k one minute and up $15k the next. Plus at the end of the year he gets the high roller bonus. Basically that’s a raffle drawing for the top high rollers. Where he has won several cars, motorcycles, and boats. He is always comped a suite, all meals, and shows.

They continue not to mention his voter registration, for some reason.

Why did he BOTHER to bring that arsenal up there?

We don't know the extent of his plans. Perhaps he planned something that would have required that firepower. Maybe there were accomplices that didn't show up that would have used the additional firearms. Lot's of possibilities.

Don’t know where you are, but here in Nevada, we have had media coverage of Sheriff updates at least 4 times a day. Was 2 hour intervals on Monday.

The national media cannot keep a sheriff & a police department straight. They keep putting up graphics that identify SHERIFF LOMBARDO as a member of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. Only the Reno media has their graphics straight.

A SHERIFF is the SHERIFF of the WHOLE COUNTY!! That would be Clark County in this case. He draws a County paycheck-—Mot a City of Las Vegas paycheck.
