With 10 or more weapons in the possession of Paddock

there should be a lot of evidence about his background (or activities) disclosed when they trace the trail of acquisition on the various weapons.
With family reports that he wasn't a gun guy, it seems unusual he could acquire that much weaponry so quickly.

It will be interesting how they walk this out with all those dead and wounded.

I find it odd that as someone who wasn't a gun guy or ex military would know so much about to how to conduct an attack like this, from pre planning to where to find these types of weapons, how to use them, knowing he needed a high vantage point and 2 shooting platforms to keep full auto barrels cooled etc. seemed to well equipped IMO. Usually whackos who just snap go buy a gun or steal one and run into a crowded area shooting. This was well orchestrated if the intent was to inflict maximum casualties

Common sense says he was precisely a gun guy
Posted on 10/2/17 at 3:28 pm to CarrolltonTiger
Right.
Who, what, where, when and how were the weapons acquired?

But his brother says that he wasn't.

Which makes more sense to you? He wasn't a gun guy but he killed over 50 people with 10+ modified rifles, or maybe his brother didn't know everything about the guy?

10 plus guns and presumably a couple thousand rounds of ammo is not light weight or small.
Getting that weaponry up to the 32nd floor when you have to walk through the casino floor to get to the elevators seems a difficult task.
I would think that even with bell hops and luggage carts, the size and or weight of the luggage should have at least caught the eye of the security at Mandalay Bay. Unless of course he had the room for a week or more and brought it all in slowly in small quantitates and weights.

For now, neither. There will be a lot more to this.

Bingo.

The story the public will likely never be told
Number and caliber of specific weapons used
How they were acquired
If they were illegally modified before or after acquiring them
Number of rounds fired
How much usable ammo was unfired in the room after shooters death
A list of all the gun laws that were broken in the process of this crime.

His brother reportedly just said shooter was a multi millionaire from real estate.

I mean you can fit probably 5 rifles in an average size duffle bag
You could have everything up there in one trip and not be suspicious at all
If you have been to Vegas there are people coming and going up and down left and right bags no bags 24/7/365
Would never be able to tell

Just reporting facts. Cool?
Posted on 10/2/17 at 3:59 pm to LSU Patrick
I've seen many posters using the brother's words as facts, while ignoring the fact that the brother admitted that they were not close

Not me. I merely reported what the brother said. You apparently were the one who went beyond that.

18 weapons is the word

This guy knew about guns. The brother lost touch with him along the way.
