I know this is tin hat stuff, but what if his wife is in on it. She was born in the Philippines and had Australian citizenship. She worked in Vegas for years as a hostess for high rollers. She takes off (when has not been established) for the Philippines and her husband this nut job wires her $100,000.

She then moves on to live in Japan when this all goes down and is now planning to come back to the USA to answer questions. The authorities keep saying "oh she's not a suspect" "we just want to talk to her".

This shooter took years to plan this job by acquiring all of these weapons and ammunition ... she must have known something. He had electronics and camera's set up on a serving cart in the hallway. He even had a camera in the room filming his actions to hurt as many people as he could, which I bet we see film footage of that soon and very soon (remember there is no trial he's dead).

Should I drop the 'M' word on us at this early date? Maybe, maybe not ... but nut jobs have to have some reason to plan all of this so far in advance.

Cancer or something, plus his father was a nut job too that died in 1998.

Lots of unanswered questions, but one thing is for sure he was angry about something and no one has come up with that answer.

Thoughts and prayers for those involved. Prayers for our country and world.
I was tired of hearing about it about an hour after the story broke. I'm going to ignore most of it until the facts can come out and I can read them written in a concise manner. There is still a lot to the story that we're not being told.

It doesn't take years to acquire that many weapons. I'm pretty sure the mainstream media is more at fault here than anyone selling weapons. The guy is a lefty nut job. In one awful swoop he struck a blow against Trump supporters at that concert(it wasn't a bunch of people with a vagina on their head after all), the 2nd amendment, Trump, and "white" men in general.

It was on media that either all ten guns in the hotel room or all twenty-something guns in his home were bought within one year. This is madness indeed. I may be in favor of owning guns, but I am definitely against it being legal to acquire - or modify - full automatics, or to buy quantities that are sufficient to equip an army. I also do not accept mines, SAMs and mortars to be on sale. No private armies, please. No private wars. Leave dealing with that to the regular army indeed.

ISIS continues to insist they had a hand in his conversion. Considering the target and what it appears to many to represent. It will be interesting to see where this shooters loyalty was and his motivation for comitting such a henious act.

I've bought firearms from a dealer that had Yugo SKS's available by the crate last year. I'm fairly certain there are some Americans who own hundreds of firearms, and they've never been a problem to anyone. If I chose to own enough small arms and ammunition to equip my own small army/militia it's perfectly acceptable because of the second amendment. If I was rich I most certainly would have a sizeable arsenal just in case, but not just in case I was going to go wack a doodle. This guy wasn't a gun guy. Gun guys don't do things to give guns a bad name. This guy was a lefty or jihadi.

A lefty? No righty? The left wackos and "progressives" over here at least, usually are not associated with gun fetishism, but rightwingers are.

He buys coffee at Starbucks, he's definitely on the left. http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-las...htmlstory.html

This guy was seriously crazy. And evil. I haven't heard anything reliable about his political leanings.

It's the October Revolution comrades. But we must act quickly, already the finest minds in America have discovered our plan:

Explosives found may be linked to the same used used in the NYC bombing. Id wager money where this is slowly but surely going.

He had what 30-40 guns total? I'd say that makes him a "gun guy".

He had forty-seven (47) guns in all twenty-four (24) found in his hotel room (the hotel room is also under investigation
as belonging to some corp) with half of the guns (12) being fitted with a bump stock to make them fire continuously
with one pull of the trigger.

Most of the guns were purchased in the last (12) months in Nevada and Utah with back ground checks and no red flags.

He had lots of ammunition left in some odd 17 clips ... He must have got spooked when the hotel security guard
showed up at his door, who he shoots and then turned his little hand gun on himself.

It could've been a lot worse without that security guard locating him ... he's a hero in a way.

I think what he means about not being a gun guy is the shooter wasn't really interested in Firearms as a hobby but as tools to cause destruction. Typically a "gun guy" (also often called a gun nut) is an enthusiast who has a long history of buying guns shooting guns and knowing all about guns. IMO

Fair enough, I'll concede my point.
