Two Nevada Gun Shops Say Stephen Paddock Passed Background Checks
NBC News ^ | 2nd October 2017 | Tracy Connor and Ken Dilanian

Posted on 10/02/2017 3:03:29 PM PDT by Ennis85

Two Nevada gun shops confirmed Monday that they sold firearms to Mandalay Bay shooter Stephen Paddock in the last year and said he passed all required background checks.

It was unknown if the weapons Paddock bought from the gun shops, New Frontier Armory in North Las Vegas and from Guns and Guitars in Mesquite, were used in the casino massacre.

David Familglietti of New Frontier said Paddock purchased a rifle and a shotgun in the spring, and agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives were interviewing the employee who handled the sale.

"The rifle was not fully automatic and a shotgun isn't capable of shooting from where he was," Famiglietti told NBC News when asked whether it was possible the guns were used in the mass shooting.

"He's only shopped there once so it wasn't someone we knew personally," he said.

"We're very sad about the news of this tragedy. We're in the business of selling firearms legally and took all precautions on this sale as we do with all sales. My staff takes their job very seriously and if there were any 'red flags' the sale would have halted immediately."

He added: "All state and federal laws were followed and an FBI background check took place and was passed by the buyer."

Christopher Sullivan, general manager of Guns & Guitars, did not say what weapons Paddock, who lived in Mesquite, had bought.

"All necessary background checks and procedures were followed, as required by local, state, and federal law. He never gave any indication or reason to believe he was unstable or unfit at any time," Sullivan said in a statement.

"We are currently cooperating with the ongoing investigation by local and federal law enforcement in any way we can."

So much for “The Gun Show Loophole” being a factor. The Left will have to do a real GUN GRAB if they want to respond at any level...and with that, is their suicide.

This guy sounds like a gun nut, or else he was straw buying for export to Mehico.

Under medical information, Paddock has his last examination for his license in February 2008. The FAA notes that he “MUST HAVE AVAILABLE GLASSES FOR NEAR VISION.”

Yet, they were never able to find any information about Barack Obama's mentor Frank Marshall Davis. Hitlery's 30,000 missing eMails.

He’s a millionaire, he had no money problems.

You might want to reconsider that.

Remember, mental case Pat Purdy, released from a California institution, passed California’s waiting period to get a pistol, bought a rifle in Oregon, then went to Stockton and shot up the school.

I can see your points and I agree that this was a larger operation than we now realize.

That’s what I read, unless they are holding that info back. Why would he mass shoot an audience at a concert then? Bankrupt the casino with lawsuits? Possible.

This proves once again that background checks don’t work.


That is far too obvious for the left to consider.

You’re right. The left will settle for no less than confiscation.

That’s exactly what Mueller is doing right now. He’s destroying all the crap they’ve found on Hillary, the DNC, Podesta, Obama, et al.

Are you aware of interviews with any president’s college or high school girlfriends? I’m not.
