That's more likely given the extensive arsenal he had on hand, along with two "shooting platforms" in the room. He planned this out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not really qualified to speculate on whether a gun is automatic or not based on the recording of sounds. In my experience, most people aren't either. I head someone on NPR talking about "automatic clips" this morning... I'm not going to say it wasn't. I don't know. We'll find out in a day or two, I'm sure.

I hadn't seen that yet... A semi-automatic weapon fires one shot each time the trigger is pulled. A binary semi-automatice weapon fires one shot when the trigger is pulled and a second shot when the trigger is released. Needed if the deer you are hunting is really agile. ~~~ "[Sheriff] Lombardo said multiple firearms were found inside the hotel room. He said the room is still being processed and further details weren’t immediately available. KTNV, citing police sources, reports that Paddock had at more than 10 guns inside the hotel room, along with two platforms set up to shoot from. He also had cameras to see police arriving, the news station reports. He is believed to have used long range rifles, News 8 Now reports." http://heavy.com/news/2017/10/stephen-paddock-las-vegas-route-91-mandalay-bay-shooting-shooter-gunman-suspect-photos-motive/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 I'm not a gun expert, but in the video I saw, it sounded like scenes out of Full Metal Jacket. If it wasn't an automatic weapon, then there are 20 other shooters that they aren't telling us about. I'm curious to know the number of bullets fired.

An avid hunter and gun collector with no criminal history. I suspect the provenance of his weapons will be easy enough track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I guess short of metal detectors, it's kinda difficult. People routinely check in with lots of baggage since there are trade shows with exhibits there on an ongoing basis.

Llevron Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 If dude had cameras set up he definitely planned on this when he arrived. No one loses it all in Vegas but decides to spend their last few bucks on cameras. You dont think that much through if you snap. At least I wouldn't think a man would but obviously I have no experience in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what Trump thinks about this thug who committed the worst mass shooting terrorist act in the history of our country..... 2 a mass shooting isn't necessarily terrorism. For a violent act to be considered terrorism it has to have a political or ideological link. I haven't seen any suggestion of a cause or ideological motive yet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abdcskins Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 What bothers me the most is that we'll never know why he did this. From what I've read so far, Paddock didn't seem to be your traditional mass shooter with a mental disease like Adam Lanza or Seung-Hui Cho. He was for lack of a better word "normal." So strange to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Browsing history, past relationships, magazines under the mattress....something. no one is invisible and then ruins it by murdering dozens. I just hope we DON'T find out anything about his political affiliations. That would bring out the worst in just about everyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So strange to say the least. I know what you are saying it is perversely comforting understanding the motivation no matter how messed up it might be. This episode reminds me of the University of Texas Tower killer of 1966. I was a teen at the time and was horrorstruck that an evil person would set up in a tower and just start randomly killing people. Maybe the police will comb this guys life and find some pattern of behavior to explain this guy going off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He literally never won anything of note. And he dated both Jessica Simpson and Carrie Underwood. Definitely had more game off the field than on it... I still smile at TR1 and bubba being the first two people in the world to correctly predict that Romo would choke at literally everything. Fans outside the NFC East had to wait until he was 34 years old to figure out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Evil Genius Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 (edited) It's stupid to claim that you can greatly effect something this large at the micro level (city). It had to be a macro (entire country) change in regulations/laws or the benefit will always be lost. SHS naming Chicago is just perfect since the GOP doesn't fully understand this notion. You really can't blame cities for trying..because it does have some impact. Just no where close to what national level regs would have.
