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.

Army of one?
Arms dealer?

Maybe you should take that as a hint, sparky.
Noted conspiracy nutjob Sheriff David Clarke says Las Vegas is “suspicious”...

Ah, ty. If the investigators don’t follow up on this we’re in trouble.
Yeah, we’ve all seen the pictures.
Finding crazy crap on the internet that supports your
conspiracy theory does not constitute research.
Beginning with a supposition and then finding internet artifacts
to support your supposition is not how truth is arrived at.
That’s how they “proved” global warming.
Good on you for asking questions, but pretending to have
answers based on kooks is flat out stupid and laughable.
Looks like your latest fan-fiction fantasy thread was pulled as well.
Any of this sinking in yet?

we have a media that coordinates with rats on what to report and how to do it......
this is not the old America....
these days ANYTHING is possible...

Can’t forget we have 2 Navy warships colliding at night w/ other vessels, an FBI ‘running’ w/ a false ‘dossier’ on a political opponent, Deep State developing its own ‘hacking’ tools to finger the Russians, a Prez (illegally) sending pallets of taxpayer cash to our enemies, etc.
As others have noted, a conspiracy only requires the knowledge of (recent) past lies and lack of trust because of to flourish.
Didn’t help w/ the FBI’s “no terrorism ties” within HOURS
Well I read a couple times they were shot at. SWAT was not shot at. Oh well. More noise.
Who knows. He might have had trouble breaking some windows. But regardless, most people getting shot at thought there were multiple shooter from multiple locations. So you can assume that was his objective. Where to run.

The point is pretty simple. You cannot assume the Sheriff is responsible for producing the investigative data he reports. So you cannot personally blame him.
He didn’t have any such “investigative data” when he claimed that he “couldn’t get into the mind of a psychopath”.
UNLV psychology Professor Stephen Benning says it’s human nature to want an explanation for such a heinous an incomprehensible crime, but he’s fairly certain the sheriff missed the mark.
The Reported half the population!
Gee... whod’a thought it...
Only white supremacists shoot up places full of innocent people, remember???
Oh.... wait a minute... not so much.
Never mind
Too fuzzy to read
Your odds of being killed in a “mass shooting” are WAY less than by lightning
Nothing in room 2 but a broken window...
Only one overhead light source?
