The sheriff confirmed on a Tuesday night that 12 rifles had bump stocks.

And said that Paddock fired 12 volleys on Tuesday morning.

I don't think that is a coincidence.

It is. Unless he's an idiot. It's much easier to change your mag than to swap rifles. Even running high rates of fire, those rifles can take it. I can see swapping rifles after a couple of mags, maybe, due to heat, but after each one is a little excessive.

Yep. The guns had bump stocks, banana clips, and exploding bullets

I think you might have just made this up. I thought I had watched all the Sheriff's press conferences and never saw him say how many rifles had bump stocks.

The pictures we've seen only show ONE. The two rifles with a bi-pod don't have bump-stocks and he clearly shot those guns. The rifle on the top in the pit doesn't have one either. If you zoom in on the footstool behind the gun pit it looks like the wood composite stock of an AK, which you can't put a bump stock on.

The police have confirmed they found 47 total guns between the hotel room and his home. Of those 47, only 33 were legal purchases (and all bought since October). So he had at least 14 illegal guns. Almost assuredly these were fully automatics, otherwise they could have just been purchased legally.

14 illegal guns. Most likely modified fully autos. Why would you even use a bump stock modification if you have that many full autos?

I think maybe you're fibbing. Do you have a link to them confirming he had 12 bump stocks?
