What’s illegal about this?
The laws he broke. I don't have the specifics of the charges, but they charged him with what they could.

In the Fall, every hotel room around here will be full of guns and ammo.

That equals an arsenal ???
A single rifle and 150 rounds (there might have been a pistol too) but that barely registers on the scale of "I went to Academy Sports today to get a new fishing pole and this followed me out the door"
For real. I always rent a hotel room in the city and load the weapons I just bought at Academy before going home.

Yes, because a maid and city officials who have clearly shown incompetence have told you so.

Did the guy offer any plausible reason to have the rifle with him at the time?
There's really no point in debating this until all of the facts and evidence come in.
The fact that he had all of these weapons in a hotel room overlooking a holiday crowd is suspicious. The fact that the authorities let him go indicates he didn't have a suicide note, "manifesto" or other incriminating evidence laying around that would point to his bad intentions.
I'm sure further investigation will paint a more complete picture, but who knows. The Las Vegas shooter didn't leave any breadcrumbs. But we also live in a country with over 300 million guns. People buy, sell and transport them all the time for perfectly valid reasons. And keeping them in your hotel room as opposed to your car where they could be stolen seems normal to me. He will get the chance to explain himself. If he does a poor job of that, he can expect LE scrutiny for the rest of his life.

The simplest explanation is a dude who fricked up bringing guns to a progressive city.
Wish Paul Harvey was still alive, we could get the rest of the story.

Whats your opinion?

The fricking FBI and Chicago police responded, investigated, and charged him accordingly.
But are we to believe that you, neocon message board poster, knows better than them? You're to the point of being laughable with how ridiculous your suggestions are, and your willful ignorance of the situation.

You should let me know your hunting spots in Chicago.

Somehow I doubt a follow up is coming if he had no bad intent.

If you can use a strawman, so can I.
This was your post:

The government has failed to prevent every mass shooting since 1789. We know the government fails to prevent is terrible at fortune telling.
Your argument is literally "every mass shooting that has happened has not been stopped. Every mass shooting that has been stopped, is not a mass shooting because it was stopped."
No strawman there.

neocon message board poster,
Oh you urban bubble dwellers are so cute.
Did the FBI or Police charge him with anything other than a weapons violation? You know, after initially investigating and talking to him?

The charges he caught didn't rise to the level of being held without bond.
This has been said multiple times already in this thread.

So, the day after this guy was arrested you would expect us to immediately tap him as a mass killer?
Never said anything close to that. I said the investigation would reveal his plans, and if they were nefarious he'd catch additional charges.

Your argument is literally "every mass shooting that has happened has not been stopped. Every mass shooting that has been stopped, is not a mass shooting because it was stopped."
