That became my gut feeling a couple hours into this.

We shall see.

This incident will likely be used to defeat the hearing protection act.

Hey I’m ready to believe that a happily retired 64 year old multimillionaire with no criminal record dragged 19 guns to a hotel room in Vegas and destroyed his life by knocking out not one but two windows in his hotel suite and shot up a C&W concert. No note, no manifesto, no social media screed, no Nada. Well alrighty then.

I just read she isn’t in the Phillipines right now. She’s in Tokyo.
Her family is in the Phillipines & he’s been sending $$ to someone in the Phillipines.

“Get ready for a knife fight in Congress. We’ll lose of course.”

Are you a prophet or just a typical mammon-worshipping, conservative peckerhead?

I can’t help think he was running guns to cover his gambling debts and a client set him up knowing that he would take the fall. You don’t take shotguns to sniper roost.

Seriously? He’s about to kill as many people as possible, he wants a suite so there are a lot of windows (He used two). He was wealthy and he was ABOUT TO KILL HIMSELF. What the hell does he care. I think your spikey senses are bad.

One of the first reports I saw on this guy after he was identified said he was an avid hunter/fisherman. I haven’t heard that since. Was this just the MSM stooges doing their prep work to blame Trump and conervatives?

Could be the Kapernick syndrome. Guy goes off the deep end after being radicalized by woman.

Probably Tannerite. As far as the “full-auto mods” I'd take that with a grain of salt. Most likely a bumpfire stock or a crankfire.

When I went through basic training our platoon sgt showed us how to file the sear on our M1 Carbine to make it full auto in a few minutes.

Explosives? That could mean a canister of gunpowder for reloading. No note we know of, no manifesto we know of, no social media screed we know of. I’m sceptical.

The Clark County Sheriff said they found Tannerite at the perp's home.

Tannerite is a binary explosive used as a reactive target. It can only be detonated by a rifle bullet.

as I posted in another thread

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpMrm1xUJ40&app=desktop

Interesting on the audio above skip to the 20:45 mark

“all units please keep your vehicles locked, citizens are trying to grab shotguns”

People wanted protection.

When you know what hits the fans Americans want their guns for protection.

The matter of a note or message is missing. I haven’t seen anyone asking. Missed part of conference earlier. Seems more than odd. Maybe via his Dubai visiting girlfriend he converted or somehow aligned with Islamic terrorists. Maybe, like Antifa, his anti-Trump fervor broke him. He appears incredibly systematic in his actions so there is definitely more to the story.

How many RINOS are in Congress? Care to guess?

How often are they the willing servants of the Democrats?

that is why I’m worried, Trump is a populist.
