    Don't think anyone's confirmed if it was truly an automatic weapon obtained legally/illegally or if he modified one of his weapons already.

    His father was diagnosed as psychopathic. Is this hereditary?

    There is not a lot to thank Trump for, but his tactic of bring people down to his level and defeating them with experience has encouraged the hateful people on both sides of the spectrum to reveal their nasty beliefs openly for all of us to see.

    What if the guy wasn't the actual shooter, but there were two shooters? And he was actually just a hotel guest, and the first victim?

    In the Berlin truck attack, the guy who was dead in the truck was not the perpetrator, but the first victim.

    Maybe we can finally just have federal gun laws instead of a patchwork of state laws.

    Although, that applies more to gun violence in Chicago. Not much one can do to prevent this.

    Quite.

    Of course, there are a lot fewer nasty people on either side than we are led to believe.

    Its hard not to have political leanings on days like this, but I will refrain from commenting in that regard.

    I will say that regardless of how you lean, I'm so grateful that all of you here in the Clutchfans community are safe today. Hug your loved ones a little tighter today.

    There's video surveillance in the hotel. I think the investigation of those tapes would have already ruled that out. I think they already confirmed that the firearms could have been in the luggage he brought into the room.

    I believe he shot himself when he heard the police breaking in. If that is the case then the police would have at least heard that gunshot if not the gun shots down at the crowd before he was alerted to their presence.

    Did they ever explain why there are two windows broken so far from each other? Is that entire stretch of windows all part of one suite?

    so the guy had a semi auto with a bump stock which makes it fire like a full auto. is that correct? my understanding is bump stocks are illegal.

    Trump brings out the absolute worst in people. That doesn't absolve those people but it doesn't speak well of trump.

    Looks like you can order them direct from this website. Absolutely deranged youtube ad on the front page.

    Go to a gun show someday. "Illegal" is not a concern to the NRA gun-nut crowd. Parkinglot deals abound.

    And some people think that 3D-printing this stuff at home is just A-OK.

    I read where a gun store in his hometown confirmed he'd been contacted by STD and had legally purchased 2 long guns and a handgun within the last year, but refused to identify specifics to the press person who contacted him.

    if current gun laws aren't stopping things from being sold then what laws would you suggest that will?
