One suspect is down but there had to be more than one when you listen to the gunfire.

Firing from an adjacent hotel room by the sounds of it, so it was likely planned in advance.

It'll be interesting to see how the firearms were acquired because they're definitely automatic rifles. Police mentioned it was a local resident so perhaps they're even an FFL owner or whatever that license is called.

Tragic loss of life, anyway. No doubt over some petty, pointless ideology.

Just saw another video and it may actually be a single shooter bump-firing a semi-automatic rifle instead.

The fire rate was too inconsistent to be fully automatic and from the distance we heard the shots from at first, it is possible that it sounded like it could just be the change in fire rate that made it seem like multiple shooters.

Stephen Paddock = most likely a liberal fascist or Antifa because the victims targeted were mostly conservative Country music fans and immoral liberal hedonists like to marry poverty-stricken Filipinas(= the accomplice).
Wow! Jumping to conclusions much.

As I’ve said on another thread don’t make a judgement until you know the facts. And don’t stereotype.

Wow!

If you nailed it, please pick my powerball numbers.

Looks like the death toll is up to 50, which would make this the deadliest mass shooting in US history.
It's only been 16 months since the last deadliest shooting in US history.

Wind / air currents can have a lot of weird effects on sound propagation at that distance, too, making it sound warbly.

I hadn't been aware of bump-firing before this, and it appears that the pre-made bump-fire stocks are legal, at least at the federal level. If that turns out to be what he used, it'll be interesting to see what the legal & political backlash is, since nobody can make an argument that these are good for anything other than recreational shooting.

My crystal ball says no changes at all.

A call for a loosening of gun regulations from the NRA is far more likely.

Probably.

Sad part is this is neither new or shocking anymore.

Blood will be swept away, bodies will be buried and business will continue to boom for the industry that lines far too many pockets to be touched.
