Massacre in Las Vegas.

[ChaimMoskowitz]

He did get tracer rounds but didn’t use them.
Possibly because they would’ve found him quicker.

The first report I seen the gun dealer did not have them.

Then he is not as smart as we give him credit for. He could have done tremendous damage with them.

[ChaimMoskowitz]

And even without those huge guns he could’ve put some of the explosives in his plane & caused a lot more carnage.

You can always find something that does more damage. That is no reason to bury your head in the sand.

Thats something you’ll never know till you have the full picture

Sorry to say but the lady is right in this case.

Also, a very well planned breakdown. Not a snap situation.

very unusual to be so detailed and into guns, bullets, and trajectory formulas for mass murder, yet he was not known in any gun shows, target shooting locations, or even "into guns" at all according to his brother and others who knew him. Wouldn't someone like that keep aiming and shooting for the months leading up to this? All he did was gamble....

Not if you’re shooting down into a crowd of 22k. Would need to be the worlds biggest schlamazal to miss. But he did shooting prior

He did miss thousands of times.

which means this wasn't a long-term planned shooting-gun massacre of an obsessed gunman. He spent a lot of time buying dozens of guns, but he didn't comparable amounts of time to learn to aim and shoot automatics. He mainly spent his time gambling millions of dollars, and not spending so much time shooting. He wasn't really "into" guns, so that makes this mass killing so much more unusual.

You know want is odd is they say the paper they found had trajectory calculations. He was shooting in full auto so what calculations did he need?

I don't understand this. Can someone explain? He randomly shot a guard and then later shot the crowd?

[elit]

 whole thing is so bizarre.

That is what it seems like. The guard he might have thought was coming to his room.

They're saying the guard was responding to something else. Wrong place wrong time. Until the story changes again

Then the next question is did this trigger the shootings?

[TimT]

No

He had no intention of leaving that room alive.

Then the next question is did this trigger the shootings?

And just happened to find a bunch of high powered weapons in the room?
