As virtually everyone has noted from the abundant video footage of the incident, it certainly sounds as if the shooter used either fully-automatic weapons or semi-automatic weapons modified (through, for example, a bump fire stock) to closely simulate automatic fire. Moreover, the police are reporting that he had “more than 10 rifles.” He apparently rented his corner room for days and may have even set up cameras to detect when police were approaching. That’s all strange enough, but it’s even more unusual when you consider that his own family apparently didn’t know that he maintained a stockpile of guns.

Put all this together, and the shooting is flat-out bizarre. It’s significantly different from virtually any other mass shooting in U.S. history. If the weapons were fully automatic, then he likely would have spent immense sums of money to obtain them legally, jumping through extensive legal hoops.
[snip]
So, a person who’s “not a gun guy” has either expended untold thousands of dollars to legally purchase fully-automatic weapons, somehow found them on the black market, or purchased and substantially modified multiple semi-automatic weapons — and did so with enough competence to create a sustained rate of fire. This same person also spent substantial sums purchasing just the right hotel room to maximize casualties.

Given the firepower and the packed mass of people, it’s easy to see how the casualty count was so high, even firing from an extreme range (by the standards of mass shootings.) This was the University of Texas tower attack on steroids, conducted out of nowhere, with meticulous planning and at great expense, from a person who doesn’t seem to fit any normal profile of a mass shooter. There is much we have yet to learn, but for now, this is one of the most chilling and mysterious events I’ve ever seen.

The kid's got a point...
Given how the media and “officials” at various levels have been lying for decades, I don’t believe anything put out on this so far.
Even the body count.
Didn’t the Orlando shooter’s wife leave town?
“.... not a gun guy” has either expended untold thousands of dollars....”
Money will buy ANYTHING you want, you just need to know where to get what you want. It is highly possible the weapons may have been purchased from savory characters who MAY have modified the rifles for Paddock. It is also possible someone provided those weapons for him (”Fast & Furious” comes to mind). I trust NO BODY!!
A combat Marine called Savage and swears he hears two distinct weapons. He also counts more than 30 round bursts which he says is belt fed. Luckily there are so many cell phone cameras the powers that be can’t hide the truth. Making sure everyone has a camera so everyone can be tracked may produce unforseen consequences for “big brother”.
Question everything! Accept nothing as fact that is not confirmed by credible witnesses who have no agendas!
I agree with you. I think it also possible that he was linked to the intelligence agencies - his career looks rather like that. Not certain though - just a thought. I think your suggestion of money launderer is very intriguing. They often use casinos and gambling as a way to circulate funds.
And showing other suicidal whack-jobs how much publicity they can get by going out with a bang. This is not a second-amendment issue, as many on the left like to think, but a first. Do you think the media will clamor to have their rights abridged?
Can’t remember
You missed crisis actors at Sandy Hook...

Or a Slide-Fire.
Thanx
REALLY looking forward to learning what THIS ONE is all about.
“Given the firepower and the packed mass of people, it’s easy to see how the casualty count was so high.......”
Like shooting fish in a barrel. Full auto weapons, 22,000 people all jammed into a “pen”, there would be no need to aim the weapon, just “spray” the area and you would get the job done.
You are kidding right? The fact his family didnt know is some sore of conspiracy???
This one needs to go in the round file.
Especially if they were lying down
If you can’t trust an anonymous caller on a radio show, who can you trust?
” forget about it for 3-4 days and then the real facts will start to emerge.”
Which, translated, means, “Forget about it for 3-4 days to give TPTB sufficient time to fabricate the story they want to put out there.”
People snap...... they just jump off in the deep end. Hillary Clinton, John McCain, Glen Beck
The brother of the Unabomber said he knew nothing, too...but was sending money to the bomber regularly.
Brother said he didn't realize his bro was the Unabomber until he read the Manuscript published by the media.
I believe he knew early on that his bro was the Unabomber and thought his bro was suicidal....and that's why he turned him in and that was the deal with LE....no death penalty.
Every place the bomber hit had to set off bells and whistles instantly in his brothers mind.
Relatives will lie.
