Arizona ammo supplier to Las Vegas massacre gunman gets prison time

An Arizona man who authorities said sold illegal tracer and armor-piercing bullets to the Las Vegas massacre gunman was sentenced to prison Tuesday, according to multiple reports.

Douglas Haig, 57, of Mesa, will spend 13 months in federal prison for manufacturing ammunition without a license, according to Nicholas A. Trutanich, U.S. attorney for the District of Nevada. Haig had pleaded guilty to the federal charge last November.

“This case arose out of the investigation into the Oct. 1, 2017, mass shooting at the Route 91 Harvest music festival in Las Vegas,” prosecutors said. “In the hotel room from which the shooter staged his attack, investigators located a box with a shipping label setting forth Haig’s name and address.”

Still, Haig was not accused of a direct role in the shooting that killed 58 people and injured more than 850 — described as the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history. Senior U.S. District Judge James Mahan imposed the sentence but separated Haig from the actions conducted by the gunman, Stephen Paddock.

Did investigators ever determine a motive?

False flag is a motive.

I’d be willing to believe it was an FBI sting selling ammo, guns and other weapons to known terrorists that went fast and furiously bad.

The Paddock angle in this atrocity has never been fully explained in light of even the meager facts that have been leaked to the public.

Going after Haig for his ammo infractions is ludicrous in light of the massacre that occurred. This reminds me of the Murray Building bombing that left numerous terrorist associates to disappear into the fog of MSM/FBI/NSA/CIA misinformation.

I still am kinda looking at the conspiracy part of it, since Prince Muhammed Bin Salman was in residence at the time.

Shooter was a pink hat Hillary supporter and Trump hater. There are plenty of photos of him and his girl friend at a Reno, NV protest.

Or this mutt:

Five Men with Mideast Ties Indicted in License Scam (Tennessee License Scandal)

TENN DRIVER LICENSE SCANDAL: FLAMING DEATH NO ACCIDENT, FBI SAYS

Car fire set off suspicions as crew fought it (Smith Tennesee License Scandal)

License suspect had WTC repair pass, but Port Authority did its own work [Tennessee License Scandal]

The pass gave him access to the buildings' sprinkler systems.

I bet he "fixed" them real good...

As far as I know Sakher 'Rocky' Hammad is still out there doing who knows what?

Maybe not quite that far,.. but I am beginning to believe one may be a functionary of the other.

Gee, it only took three years.

I wonder how long it would have taken if Haig had done something really serious? /s
