Imo we still don't know enough. As was mentioned before, could be mental illness, could have been physical illness causing mental illness. Could be he was a good mark for pinning blame - was found already passed, movements were probably predictable/routine, background check possibly including father's history probably widely available in LV considering the amount of money involved/size of comped suite.

This one definitely doesn't add up without more information than we have/than has been released. It's sad that his family and the victims may never have the full real story.

I hope everyone is able to find some kind of peace after this, but it's going to be trying times for a while. I hope his mother has been kept from as many details as possible.

he would've had to, to modify a gun to fully automatic isn't cheap or easy. I've never been in the market for one, but I can't imagine they are all that easy to get your hands on, either

It's both incredibly cheap and easy. 40 bucks or so.


Edit- looks like atf started knocking out drop in auto sears.

So now it's the whole group needed and maybe an 80% part.
150 bucks and an hour instead of 40 bucks and one minute.

Dumb Bitch.
Now is the EXACT time for gun control debate.



But the sad fact is:
  • Nothing will happen
  • There's be lots of talk of:
  • ISIS
  • White males
  • Guns
  • NRA
And week from now... back to normal. memory faded. Until next time.

That's what I was thinking...How does a normally rational man plan this (perfectly in a very perverse way) and go through with it while being mentally ill?

Hmmmm... Maybe I'm reading too many of Enock-O-Lypse Now! @Saint Enock s threads but...It just does not add up...And I ain't no conspiracy theorist.

Just buying a fully auto or the mods to make a weapon fully auto takes a lot of planning and research. You can’t just buy one at Academy sports. People are talking about the fully auto, but I think someone with a semi-auto and good optic would have had a higher body count. Maybe not as many injured, but definitely more deaths. People literally ducked down as he rained down rounds. A good shooter with a semi-auto would have been dropping people like flies in this scenario.

Horrendous news. I hate to say it but it's amazing this kind of thing doesn't happen more often with the amount of wackos out there and the relatively easy access to firepower (not saying that to advocate gun control, just a thought).

This kind of thing brings out the ugliness in everyone. People start politicizing these events while the bodies are still lying on the street. Half the people are praying it's an Arab and the other half are praying it's a white guy, each just itching to scream "SEE I TOLD YOU!" into the other side's face. Then you have that vice president of CBS who got fired for saying she didn't feel bad because country music lovers are usually Republicans. It's both unbelievable and sad how partisan people can be, where they actually lose all empathy and respect for fellow human beings because of differing political beliefs.
Fantastic post.

I've mostly only dealt with pistols myself, but to modify to full auto requires a different trigger, hammer, sear, disconnector, bolt carrier, correct?

Sounds right. But it's super simple conversion in the ar15.

If you're already running an m16 bolt like I am, you're looking at probably 150 bucks of stuff.

Without getting into arguments...Maybe this here is one of the issues.

Historically it simply hasn't been.

As a multiple gun owner and fairly loose gun rights kind of guy, I don't care if they ban these associated sales. They clearly exist to make a legal weapon illegal.

Fair enough. I don't normally participate in the serious threads as you well know...But I am gobsmacked by this shit...Such a waste of innocent life.

His GF was from the Philippines. Makes sense to me since they were gaming buddies too, not just “significant others”.
gambling is big there, a lot of the high stakes poker action moved to Manila & Macua when the US shut down online poker sites

Maybe it's best to get all the facts out first and have some of the emotions removed before jumping to any harsh decision making.

I'd be willing to bet anyone on this site that my prediction turns out to be accurate....
