Whats that? Not gonna say AR because I dont wanna be ignorant.


AR=/= assault rifle, its short for Armalite, the original manufactures.

Thats a Daniel Defense AR, a high quality, well made firearm that many reputable places offer. One of my favorite AR platforms TBH

Stop being the antagonist. You question and downplay everything someone states, even if it’s fact and not an opinion. I have no idea what kind of proof you’re looking for but all the proof I need is over 500 people are injured or dead. And everything points to this being a lone gunman.


All of this. Dude gets his feelings hurt if someone won't entertain his alternate theories.

There are two windows that face different directions in the same suite. The gunfire is sporadic and lends credence to the idea that he was moving between the windows. The different decibel levels on the videos are easily explained by the back and forth and two different directions.

The guy checked in a few days before the event. Getting the weapons to his room wouldn't have been the slightest problem.

At this point, the only real question is his motive.

How would a guy not versed in tactics know to do this?


It's shooting into a sea of people.

If he was interested in guns enough to modify his large collection, odds are he knows enough tactically to shoot into a 22,000 person crowd surrounded by fences

Since apparently the OT doesn't like questions - here is another one... Lets say the investigation somehow takes a turn and points to being a left-directed thing or whatever, does the govt report it being that some of their own people may have orchestrated it for some agenda?

That's an AR made by Daniel Defense. Not a cheap gun. That's one of the better made and more expensive ARs on the market.

I don't think this was some major operation by a group though. Like I said, I honestly think the guy is an old liberal baby boomer, living out in the desert, reading articles about how racists Trump and his supporters are, etc. until he bought in to that BS hook, line and sinker.

He was just crazy enough to form an evil plan and execute it on innocent stereotypes of the people he despised.


Perhaps, but I tend to believe he's just a psychopath that decided to kill a bunch of people, and this event offered an "ideal" set up.

The victims of mass shootings don't always have some sort of symbolism.

Both look like DDs. They are very well made, but they are much more affordable than many other brands. Probably one of the best bang for your buck AR options out there, I definitely wouldn't label them as expensive.

Correct. I broke down the facts earlier back on page 125.

The internet is a double edged sword. A blessing and a curse. The beginning of this thread was a great discussion and a good source for breaking facts as they came out. It has now devolved into the other side of the spectrum of people who crave attention and scour the internet for moments to practice their contrarian bullshite. Time to bow out and leave the trolls and contrarians to their own little attention bubble.

I am honestly astonished by the sheer amount of shell casing in that picture.

It’s pretty frustrating to me that everyone wants information IMMIEDIATELY, and if the feds, government, etc doesn’t give it to them right away, that means they are hiding something or controlling the masses 




Agreed. Unfortunately our society needs instant gratification nowadays. The internet has changed people. Its simply absurd to expect all the info less than 48 hours since this happened.

I'm supposed to believe this guy had no gun knowledge/hobbies?


Based on what his brother in Florida said early the morning after waking up to find the press at his door because his bro is responsible for the largest mass shooting in US history.

Does your family know everything about you and your hobbies? Would they know much of anything if they lived across the country?

He's got another mag ready to roll in the first pic, indicating he was interrupted. No doubt he had them stacked and ready to go.

I guess he used the maul to break out the windows? Doesn't seem efficient IMHO
