Latest theory is this was a F&F style arms deal gone wrong.

We were told there were 42 weapons in the room. Now law enforcement says 16 were found.

The man wants to commit suicide and kill as many as possible?

He owns three planes. Why not use one of those 9/11 style? Instead it’s guns.

Why?

Some reports were adding the number seized in his home with those in the room.

Are you saying he did not kill 59 people? And patsy was found dead?

The gov’t ‘plane database claimed that he was concurently owning none.

We were told there were 42 weapons in the room.

42 was at one point the total given for the hotel room plus his house.

F&F guns did not have slide fire stocks as I recall. ATF rep on press conference stated 12 bump-fire stocks found on 12 rifles in hotel room.

One problem with the F&F conspiracy theory: they increased the risk of the deal by conducting it in a Vegas resort that has decent security features, such as video surveillance, security staff.

"He owns three planes. Why not use one of those 9/11 style? Instead it’s guns."

Exactly. Since he was a pilot and had his own planes, would have been easy to load one up with gas canisters & cartons of ball bearings etc at a small airport somewhere in nowhereville and plow that thing right into the 22,000+.

Would have caused more death and destruction.
