If That's true, the story will die a quick death.

Seen that too. The media will not show it.
Been in a fog all day over this. Feel really bad for the victims and the families.
And, I FUCKING HATE PEOPLE!!! As soon as the news broke the shooter was a white male, who do you think was pointing that shit out? Not only the media but also certain groups of people I work with. It was like a celebration for them.
Hitlary wasted no fucking time to call for a AWB.
The bodies weren't even cold yet.

His FB profile was deleted just as soon as his name was posted but a few people on Redit screenshot some of his anti-Trump pics. Seemed to favor AntiFA.

This is from the LA Times:
Stephen Paddock, the Las Vegas shooter, had an arsenal of 17 weapons in his hotel room, mostly military-style rifles, according to a law enforcement source.
At least one of them had been modified with a legal “bump stock” style device that allows the shooter to rapidly fire off rounds without actually converting it to a fully automatic weapon, the source said.
The devices modify the gun’s stock so that the recoil helps accelerate how quickly the shooter can pull the trigger. The devices are legal in the U.S.
Other weapons may have been converted to fully automatic fire, and were still being examined, the source said.
Paddock had four Daniel Defense DDM4 rifles, three FN-15s and other rifles made by Sig Sauer.
Paddock apparently bought the guns legally, passing the required background checks.
At least six of the guns were purchased at one store, a Cabela’s in Verdi, Nev. A manager at the store declined to comment.
Several other weapons were purchased at Discount Firearms and Ammo, a few blocks from the strip in Las Vegas, the source said. “It’s an open investigation,” said a store employee, before hanging up.
Paddock, who lived in Mesquite, Nev., also bought some weapons at a store there, Guns and Guitars, according to a statement given by the store owner to USA Today.
“He had good-quality, high-powered rifles,” the source said.
Authorities said Monday that Paddock had used as many as 10 suitcases to transport the arsenal to his room at the Mandalay Bay and had smashed open the room's windows with a hammer-like device.
Investigators also found more weapons at his home and are now working to track down all his gun transactions, including some at Nevada gun shows. Records show that Paddock had owned at least 30 guns at one time or another.

Looks like it has a bump stock.
Say goodbye to bump stocks.

Binary triggers also.
As well as anything else that simulates full auto fire.

A quick Google for "Bump fire stocks", I found that both SlideFire and Bump Fire Systems websites are off line.
Cheaper than Dirt has all their selection listed as sold out.

An FBI search of Paddock's Mesquite, NV, home yielded 19 more guns, more ammunition, bomb-making materials, and several "electronic devices." Police and the FBI have yet to say what those electronic devices would be used for, and haven't revealed what they found during a search of Paddock's second Nevada home, hours north of Vegas, near Reno.
Doesn’t quite sound like a guy who “just snapped”...

This should be in the stupid thread but it also belongs here.
Apparently he's didn't read, or more likely ignored, the reports stating they found him because the smoke detectors went off in his room. Or Mr. Smarter Then Everyone Else thinks that somehow silencers also block smoke.

Personally, I find any discussion of politics—from the right or left—to be in extraordinarily poor taste.
Way too damn soon.
