"And just how many suitcases did he have there? 20? If these firearms were assembled when he was found dead, they may have been just laying around for days. Wouldn’t room service think something was up?"

Every place I have stayed at, the maids are happy to have one less room to clean when the guest puts this on the door:

Why do you assume others knew? Neighbors said he was normal.

“Now I’m really shocked,” Sharon said. “Really, really shocked that he could be so normal and then all of a sudden do something like this. I mean, there was nothing about him.”

Easy. It is Vegas. They are not instinctively afraid of guns like New Yorkers and San Franciscans.

When Vegas has a gun show, you will see hundreds of folks lugging around thousands of guns along with cases of ammo, often the rifles not even in carry cases, just exposed to view.

Somebody moving a couple of dozen rifles in cases into a hotel on the strip wouldn’t raise an eyebrow and probably would just cause envy in the gun nuts aware he was doing so, with most people oblivious to what was inside the cases. Vegas people are still generally sane about guns. They know that 99% of gun owners are harmless, law-abiding people and that mass shooters are evil and are the problem, not the inanimate guns they choose to kill with.

Believe me, somebody bringing dozens of guns into a Vegas hotel wouldn’t alarm anybody but a few bed wetting big city liberals.

“A high roller at these casinos are treated very well. So, he probably flew under the radar because he was well known.”

A high roller is tracked. One has to gamble for a certain length of time and amount of money for perks.

He was using Marylou’s Players Club Card. Not sure why he’d use her card.

Las Vegas Players Club Card

What’s a Las Vegas players club card, you ask? It’s your ticket to free stuff and discounts. Technically though, a Las Vegas players card is what the casinos use to track how much money you’re betting and how often you play. The more you play the more points you accumulate. You can redeem these for free things. If the powers that be see that you’re spending a good amount then they reward you with some pretty impressive comps. Your free points qualify you for special rates on rooms or sometimes free rooms, food and shows. High rollers get free top-notch accommodation, like the penthouse suite, and may even get additional service like a personal assistant and a dedicated limo for the duration of their stay. The free stuff doesn’t stop when you leave Vegas. As a Las Vegas Players card holder, expect to receive special offers in the mail to lure you back after you leave.

um... the dude could legally carry 2000 guns into that room!

Maybe he was a gun dealer going to a gun show, or about to give a presentation on military weapons, or was a gun collector about to sell his entire inventory, or 1,000 other things.

The guy did nothing wrong carrying some guns up to his room.

What’s the fascination with the mother? From all reports she’s a woman in her 90’s...do you think she’s an accomplice???

“You usually have to roll your bags directly through the Casino floor”.

I checked in once at the Monte Carlo (slightly lower dollar place than Mandalay Bay) with one days clothing in a small carryon duffle bag, and got an extreme set of hairy eyeballs from bellhop staff for carrying my own bag.

I can’t imagine multiple trips of carrying suitcases going un-observed by those who make a living out of carrying your luggage.

Jus’ sayin’.

The more I’ve been looking into this. The more I believe the Stephen Paddock was a victim of these attacks. I been listening to police dispatch of the event. Two cops that I heard “confirmed two shooters.” Also video up close to the hotel you can clearly make out firing from long distance and right over head the person making he video. Other video’s you can hear two distinct weapons.

The hallways to the rooms where the attackers where firing from had cameras set up for when police shown up. Then Paddock “killed himself” before they entered the room.

His girl friend tried to warn people. She knew what was about to take place. I would bet she called the police but was put on “we will call you back.” (Myself I had a similar issue happen with me. Two gangs about to fight near by. I seen firearms in the hands it was about to go down. The police call me back after the fire fight “are they still out there?” I can never forget that.)

The police isn’t saying there were two shooters even with the evidence that is over whelming. I can see motive for the cops to let the attackers think they dropped the case as far as more attackers.

ISIS however doesn’t make claims they do something when they didn’t.

Stephen Paddock isn’t completely innocent in my opinion. He is with hard leftist groups. Antifa has been working with Islamic extremist. You can hear at Antifa events “Takbir” with multiple people yelling back Allahu akbar.

I personally believe Paddock was set up and killed. I don’t think he would’ve went this far. His girl friend trying to warn people whom is also a hard leftist makes me believe that

It’s actually a bad thing if he purchased everything legally and with successful background checks.

It gives the left more grounds to seek even stricter controls, since the existing ones “aren’t working”.

They won’t bother to cite the hundreds of thousands of instances in which private firearms ownership has saved lives and prevented crime.

Stephen had purchased several guns...no red flags according to sellers. But NONE of those guns were in his hotel room.

Gambling is of course the best way to launder money. I think the guy’s millions really came from criminal activity, not “investments.”

... is, by definition, a terrorist.

I've seen many folks here and around the net hammering this point.

The definition of terrorist seems to be slowly changing.

Webster says a terrorist is a practitioner of terrorism, and terrorism is:

the systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion.

We don't know enough to make that call yet.

Not an accomplice...but she knows more than any of the siblings or friends.

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

Gee, how did the thousands of patrons visiting the Shot Show this year walk in to the hotel accommodations? Because it is nothing new to see Vegas hotel guests enter with cased long guns during gun show events or walking on the Strip.

“I personally believe Paddock was set up and killed.”

You aren’t the only one with that opinion. I consider him to be a useful idiot, for reasons that will come to the surface in the next couple of days.

Not to sound like a conspiracy nut, but Mr. Paddock may be an expired version of a certain Mr. Fields in a Charlottesville jail.

Maybe, but something tells me that’s a red herring.

Yesterday, on his Armed America Radio program, Mark Walters said that the timing between shots sounded too consistent for a bump stock. He also mentioned that some so-called full-auto modifications are so inaccurate that they are basically just for "converting a lot of ammunition into noise."
