Shame that I don’t trust the media, or the “authorities,” any more.

Well the Dim congresscritter who refused to join a moment of silence for LV helps, but RINOs are a truly treasonous bunch, without redeeming qualities.

They will sell us out, or at least try to.

Nope he is a terrorist that is linked to Antifa.

I've seen no proof of that.

They certainly know more than they're telling us.

My gut keeps saying "Fast & Furious".

His bro says he was a multi-millionaire. Where's the money? I'll bet the house was loaded with guns....and CASH.

They have caved on everything else. They’ve done nothing but stab the people they’re supposed to represent in the back since they’ve been back in power.

Pete Williams on NBC said modifying them is illegal so he had to have bought them.

They are trying to change the narrative or have changed it for their sheeple

> You suggesting the RINO’s will cave and make registration & confiscation mandatory?

Anyone is fooling themselves if they think the government can roundup and deport millions of law abiding guns which are now here in our country ...

I’ll bounce back, but I’m absolutely stunned by what this moron did in LV.

Glad you’re hanging onto your optimism.

Give me a day or so.

but the Rinos in Congress will sell us down the river just to avoid criticism from the Left.

Yes I agree. This will at least be used to try to stop the hearing protection act.

“Explosives” too?

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.

Listen. This was from very close to the Mandalay where the sounds was less distorted. The firing while fast was not consistent

Browning 1919 A4 with crankfire starts around :28 sec mark

“The Associated Press also reported that two of the weapons were modified to make them fully automatic, according to two U.S. officials briefed by law enforcement...”


So, he didn’t obtain a full auto gun but rather he made his own.

Frequent gambler. Plenty of money. Friend of a woman with casino connections. That's why he got the suite.

Multiple angles on crowd. Room for all his stuff. That's why he wanted one.

At this point nothing would surprise me. Maybe he was mentor to a younger gunman, like the Beltway shooter was.

But my guess is that he was too messed up and too much of a loner to have an accomplice.

And with the kind of weapons he had, did he really need another shooter to fire off that many rounds?

FWIW, I want to discourage wild speculation, but can't help throwing out a theory: Paddock was a gambler. Many gamblers are bipolar. Maybe he was too.
