Too many rumors are swirling around regarding the tragedy in Vegas from Sunday night. Let me start by dispelling with some of the questions floating around on the internet:
1. How did he get that many weapons into his room without being noticed?
A: With a luggage cart and ten suitcases over 3 days.
2. How did he fire off that many rounds without training?
A: A monkey can pull a trigger; and, who says he didn't have practice?
3. How was he able to kill that many people in such a short time?
A: He had 11 minutes firing on near full-auto (using a bump fire device) into a crowd of people that had no idea where the fire was coming from.
4. Why did he have so many weapons?
A: First, he was a psychopath. Clark County Sheriff Joseph Lombardo said it best, "No Ma'am, I can't get into the mind of a psychopath at this point."
Second, he probably thought he would be there for an extended period of time and perhaps thought he would heat up one or more guns. Maybe he wasn't good at changing magazines? Again, first answer is always a fit. Seriously, how can we apply reason to a psychopath?
5. How did he get his hands on fully automatic firearms?
A: Investigation has determined that he had bump fire or slide fire devices on 12 of his firearms, which make them sound like a full-auto and operate much like a full-auto. They are approved by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and are easily available (until now).
6. How was he able to remove a window with 800 pounds of hurricane glass without training? (I know, seriously, this was a question.)
A: With a hammer.
7. How did he get up 32 floors with 400 pounds of equipment?
A: With an elevator and luggage cart.
8. What about the sounds of gunfire coming from other directions?
A: It was an echo.
9. How does one man come to own $100K worth of weapons without being noticed?
A: He was rich. As far as what we know right now, all guns were purchased legally over a period of time from multiple vendors. Every dealer and serious collector at a gun show has that many or more, and they are not psychopathic mass murderer candidates.
10: How is it possible that he killed/injured so many in such a short time...without training?
A: He was able to fire uninhibited an unreported number of rounds into a massive crowd, where he couldn't miss hitting something. When we know more, it is likely that many of the injuries were not from gunfire but from the panic that ensued. However, considering the rate of fire and the mass of the crowd, it wouldn't be the least bit unreasonable to think that 50-70% of the bullets hit something.
11. What gun laws could have prevented this?
A: None. He had no criminal background.
12. What about laws preventing mentally ill people from getting firearms?
A: How does one accurately measure another's current mental stability or future propensity to become a psychopath among the group of every potential firearm purchaser?
13. What about the unidentified and unverified woman who told the crowd that a lot of people were going to die?
Possible answers: 1. It is made up nonsense. 2. She was drunk.
14. What about the shots coming from other floors?
A. Echoes, reflections of other things, reflections of the shooter across multiple reflective surfaces (Las Vegas is mostly glass)...
Response questions: Where in these locations was glass broken? Where in these locations were reports of gunfire from adjacent rooms? (That's how the shooter was quickly located.) How did these mysterious shooters so quickly police up all their brass and keep the fire alarms from going off with all the smoke?
15. How did the shooter manage to record a video of himself?
A. Ummmmm, I don't know, a tripod?
Finally, some questions for the conspiracy theorists.
How do hundreds of law enforcement officers secretly conspire to cover up evidence in one of the nation's worst modern massacres? What would be their motivation? Would conspiracy advocates be satisfied when they see video evidence of the shooter by himself committing the act and ending it by putting a gun in his mouth?
I could go on, but you get the picture. Please folks, stop with the conspiracy insanity and let the investigators do their jobs. Seriously, just stop.
I Totally missed that one at the time.
This guy has had some accurate scoops in the past and has some interesting points:

Motive will be pretty shocking, I won’t say much but it will definitely change a lot of things going forward.
Just a few of my sources. It was a political motive.
There is a video, this video will prove the motive. He had a secret digital profile that was uncovered over the last 24 hrs.
Once again, YOU are full of it. The sheriff is not a psychiatrist and the sheriff knew absolutely nothing about that man at the time he made that statement!
So, maybe you should stop posting your fairytales and nonsense, and instead post facts!
26 hours driving in 32 hours is about the limit a person can do physically. Just happenstance Imho.
Disarm those with the good sense to understand what is happening to this country, so that the agenda of the global monster (Mystery Babylon in Biblical parlance) can proceed unimpeded.
.
Close enough.
The sheriff is not doing any investigating himself. He has 100 investigators working on this. He is just being fed info from them.
Either his manifesto or streaming of the shooting Video with him talking. My wag.
.
F__ off idiot!
Psychiatry is as fake as you.
“Mental illness” is simply spiritual illness.
The sheriff has been on his trail for about 4 years, as you would know if you were paying attention to legitimate news sources instead of the MSFNM.
Go back under your cabbage leaf.
.
100,000,000 murdered by their own government in the 20th century alone.
Now idiots are calling to repeal the 2nd Amendment.
As you said, all part of the motive. Target country music festival an hour after they sang “God Bless America.”
Antifa and/or Muslim converts working together. They know the complicit MSM/FBI won’t expose the truth if they can avoid it.
That’s why the crazies on the internet (us) are so important. We won the election for Trump and we’ll find out the truth here and get out word.
How about the Colfax Massacre?
It’s the largest in American history. Democrats mad about Reconstruction murdered 150 black folks.
Hadn’t heard about that one either?
.
By the way, Hillary needs your help again.
.
Far left lib?
I got Trump elected President. I’ve broken a dozen national stories - you’ve read them.
Lib? I’ve shaken hands with Reagan, George H.W., George W., and a few that lost - McCain, Romney, and Dole (who shakes with his opposite hand). I’ve voted Republican since Nixon - even the RINOs because that’s all we had to vote for.
Try to flame someone else next time.
Nope, but I don’t like to spend time dwelling on the negative.
It’s definitely not like typical safety glass. And it doesn’t break into very large pieces like plate glass would. More like two windshields with a flexible plastic layer between. Very difficult to break and it would have taken some time for the shooter to get it done. Even if he had some help.
Hey, it appears that a 30 round magazine will empty in approx. 2 seconds while a 50 round magazine takes about 3 seconds...
Here's a clip where a fella will play a recording of a little segment of the LV shooting...The shooting starts at about the 1:28 mark...What size magazine do you think the shooter was using in that volley of bullets???
The self appointed expert claims the recording proves a bump fire stock due to the variance of the rate of fire...I didn't hear a variance of the rate of fire but did hear a variance in the sound of fire, presumably since the shooter was waving the rifle back and forth while shooting...
How are Southern DemocRATS different from any other?
I think his manifesto.
They are worried there are ‘code words’ in it that’ll set off other attacks. They’re also trying to ID his network before the release it. ANY public space venue with large crowds needs to have police snipers on the lookout - like the Secret Service does for POTUS.
My theory: Paddock was part of a cell. 3-4 individuals, each with an assigned job. Someone else was to put the vehicle with the bomb into position and he’d fire on that, setting off an explosion for the escape routes. They had a cross fire ‘kill box’ plan set up. That other person or persons got cold feet and backed out. One could be the ‘you’re all going to die’ woman we’ve read about.
Odd part: He thought he would escape. How? The room was in his name, he bought the guns. Escape how?
....Video mentioned a network, it did not specify if it was ISIS or another organization, but he mentioned there being more just like him.
And then he notes they are afraid to release the video cause it may trigger cells. But it will leak soon. Better get ready. A storm is coming. Hope it is bs.
