Angry old white guy with automatic weapons.

Too bad congress didn't get off their butts and pass that bill legalizing silencers.
Think how many more this guy could have offed. I'll bet Larry, SFL, and CP are just having a jizz fest.

Some people can't stand country music.

Wanna bet that he was a Democrat with a bad case of TDS, similar to your own?    How much$$$?

Thus far (subject to change) family says apolitical, no party affiliation.

Thing I'm curious about is the guy had a BUNCH of rifles. In a room where he had been for a couple of days, in a hotel that has cameras all over the place and their own police force. 
I mean, shouldn't someone have noticed? 

I guess not.

It won't be long until we ALL have to check in once a week with our Mental Health Professional. 

(I'm dead meat: They will lock my crazy ass up and throw away the key)

I would certainly think the casino should have a lot of security footage of his coming and going and hopefully investigators will piece it together.  I am  curious to hear/see more of the evidence as it unfolds.

Gregg Jarrett:  Las Vegas shooting -- Uninformed Hillary shamelessly politicizes Nevada tragedy

By Gregg Jarrett  |  FoxNews.com
Published October 2, 2017

Hillary Clinton never misses a chance to exploit a tragedy for her own personal and political gain.

Ever the hypocrite, she urged Americans to “put politics aside.” Then she proceeded to immediately inject politics into the catastrophic shooting in Las Vegas.

Clinton knew she could not call for a ban of a weapon already banned by law. The fully automatic weapon allegedly used by gunman, Stephen Paddock, was made illegal under federal law back in 1986. 

So Clinton invented an ancillary argument that more people would have died if Paddock had used a “silencer.” Survivors were still being treated when she began condemning the National Rifle Association and attacking the law on “silencers.” 

Clearly, Clinton knows nothing about firearms, although she purports to be an instant expert on everything.

Forget that Clinton used the wrong term. “Silencers” don’t silence. The proper and accurate term is “suppressor” because they diminish, but do not eliminate, the sound of gunfire. 

But Clinton’s claim that Paddock could have used such a device on his automatic weapon only underscores that Clinton is nothing, if not obtuse. Suppressors do not function well on automatic weapons. They tend to melt or malfunction under the intense heat of automatic fire. For this reason, there are only a few companies that even manufacture them for use on automatic weapons. And there is almost no marketplace for them.

 She is uninformed but well intentioned. We see that a lot.Especially with people who know very little about guns.

Maybe the rifles were the kind that break down with a folding stock or a telescoping stock.. Or even if not he could have hauled several in if they were disassembled with a normal sized suit case.

 Since when were "silencers" or suppressors illegal? Other than on TV guns with suppressors are still very loud.

That's way over the top.

Another idea I read was smuggling them in a golf bag and club covers, no one would bat an eye at an old guy with a golf bag.

Or, if there was a gun show in town, then a few gun case would have been normal.

Well if you are going to a "gun show" as a seller 19 guns would not be unusual would it?

Guess not, now that you mention it. But I think if I was the manager at the front desk of a hotel I'd ask if we couldn't keep all them guns in a safe for ya. 

This thing is way past ugly, sad, and impossible to grasp. The guy was squeaky clean, not even traffic tickets. Maybe a brain tumor? 
It's enough to keep folks from going out to ANY kind of gathering. 
I think I'll stop going to church.
