    for those of you naive enough to think that a republican controlled congress (which is controlled by the NRA) would introduce any rational gun legislation for a vote....think again.

    they're already pulling away from banning 'bump stocks'.

    NRA opposes full ban on bump stocks used by Vegas gunman - World - CBC News


    and it would pass if it made it to the floor for a vote.

    Or if, God forbid, it ever made it to a public Referendum.

    why do they need more than 1?

    why do they need thousands of rounds of ammunition? if some yokel wants more than 100 so he can shoot cans in his back yard, then he should be forced to bring in the spent shells to get another hundred.

    why do they need armor piercing bullets? why does the NRA hate cops?

    why do they need to buy guns at a gun show? you can't legally buy prescription medication from an individual. you have to go to a pharmacy....because prescription medication is dangerous. guns should be only sold by authorized (and heavily regulated) gun shops.

    I've been trying to find the link / article again but I saw a report on a study that shows a link between mass shootings and the introduction of legislation to - get this - reduce gun controls.

    Fucking insanity.

    The Senate maybe but I doubt it would pass the house.

    Well, he had been taking Valium for a reason. We just don't know the exact psychological reason for the Valium....if any.

    Anybody saw the (conspiracy) link(s) claiming that the man's identity was known before the shooting?

    I suspect most posters skip over the obvious crap. I certainly do.

    Well, it's not normally prescribed for homicidal mania if that's what you're trying to imply. Millions of people have been prescribed Valium, very very few of them have gone on mass-murdering rampages.

    Rundown of press conference

    Quote:
    - Paddock’s brother is in town and being questioned.
    - No evidence of a 2nd shooter. (yet)
    - Approximately 200 of Paddock’s prior visits to Las Vegas and surrounding area tracked down
    - No other contacts identified.
    - Still no motive.
    - FBI begins releasing some property. See FBI.GOV website for more details.
    - Anticipate one more week investigating physical site of attack.
    - Anticipate one more week investigating hotel room.
    - Investigation is very complicated. “Complicated event reconstruction”
    - No further press conferences until Friday (October 13th)
    - Some evidence of medication in room. No details provided.
    - No note left in room. Would not discuss night stand note and numbers.
    - Sheriff Lombardo very confrontational with questioning.
    - Security Guard heard drilling in room. Drilling of “adjacent door” interrupted by security guard and not completed.
    - Security guard did not knock on hotel suite door. Door was party ajar.
    - Security guard shot (at 9:59pm CST) prior to the mass shooting of the crowd at 10:05pm - - CST. Repeat: PRIOR TO THE SHOOTING OF THE CROWD.
    - Guard was responding to alarm of “open door” (likely emergency stairwell)
    - Paddock had body armor and “self defense equipment”.
    - Paddock check in date at hotel Sept 25th (parking), but did not occupy hotel suite until September 28th. Time between 25th and 28th is deepest investigative period officials cannot explain Paddock activity.
    - Paddock did plan to escape. No details provided.
    - Multiple cell phones in room. No details provided. (FBI Interruption)
    - Lots of electronic equipment were in the room. Forensics ongoing.
    - Paddock disguised his movements in the periods immediately prior to the shooting date of October 1st.
    - Investigators perplexed by thoroughness of Paddock disguising his activity.
    - Sheriff Lombardo very aggressive, curt and short-tempered with this press conference.
    - No further press conferences scheduled until Friday October 13th.

    ^So, absolutely nothing new of any significance at all. As has been the case for days. Because.......it ain't out there. Just talking heads, conspiracy nutjobs, and assholes looking for a few minutes of TV time. He planned it, he executed it, he blew his brains out...end of. Except for thousands of people whose lives were forever changed.

    This is the new timeline given out on Monday.

    9:59pm: Campos approaches Paddock's room looking for an alarm going off at a door nearby - likely from the stairwell. He is shot at and injured. He immediately notifies hotel security.

    10:05pm: First shots fired by the suspect.

    10:12pm: First two officers arrive on the 31st floor.

    10:15pm: The last shots are fired from the suspect for reasons unknown.

    10:17pm: The first two officers arrive on the 32nd floor from the 31st.

    10:18pm: Campos, who has been stricken for almost 20 minutes, tells police about Paddock's room.

    10:26-10:30pm: With Paddock quiet, eight additional cops arrive and they decide to evacuate the rooms on the floor.

    10:55pm: Eight officers arrive in the stairwell next to the suspect's room and find the door tampered with and a camera on a room service cart outside; they decide to hold off.

    11:20pm: Paddock's room is breached and police enter the room to find him dead.

    Lots of electronic equipment in the room ???

    I wonder what ? Video of what he did ?

    The police are very thorough. There is a lot they have not said because they do not want to issue premature statements. Hence the sheriff being rather irritable.

    Time will tell much more.

    There may be a lot unsaid but that doesn't include details on all his cameras. Do keep up. Anyway, I believe our eminent TD banana heads have already proved it was justifiable homicide caused by valium, fluoridated water, vaccinations, and not enough gun.

    Any idea how many bags and volume it takes to bring 42 guns onto room? And some more bags for the ammunition? And some more for his shirts and underwear? How many luggage carts? How many round trips by the lift?


    (Do you see that guy with so many bags? Perhaps a Saudi Prince? But no woman with him? What for so many bags?

    Anyway, in no way to disturb our esteemed guest!!! And please no camera on him)
