I thought I heard that, but I was having trouble hearing the questions asked. The press conferences are running together lol



Stout mentioned that after the previous press conference, but I think it was from some random source. I'm not sure it's been addressed in any presser.

Thought it was report he was alive when they breached the room, retreated and shot himself? I find that hard to believe but that's out there, I also believe the guard spooked him into killing himself. .

They aren't razing Mandaly Bay.

I don't think they will be, either, since it's only 20 years old. If it were 30 or 40 years old, though, I think there would be people high up in MGM's organization at least considering it.

I doubt they'd officially send one officer into the room by himself against that firepower. Now f he wanted to enter on his own that would be up to him.

They don't want to increase the chances of casualties or even a hostage situation.




Yeah, I doubt they'd give an official order, but I have a hard time believing a group of officers won't take their chances on their own. I give them hell at times for being to amped up, I owe it to them to give them the benefit of the doubt in a situation like this.

he's just saying he had enough guns and ammo to keep going for 10 minutes. There are photos showing several 60 round mags that he never got around to using


Well then he should have said this instead of posting what he did. In a thread like this where sources are from everywhere and no one sees it all or hears it all, I think it is how bad information gets put out there. I know I don't have time to see, read or hear it all.

Without getting into a gun debate, what is the logic behind bump stocks and those who purchase them? As far as I can tell, the only "benefit" is a faster fire rate. What are the major drawbacks?

Just trying to get the facts straight. TIA.


the dumbest, gimmickiest accessory in the gun world. it is by far the most worthless accessory out there. it's for hillbillies and rednecks to show off to their friends. most people use them 3 or 4 times and realize what a waste they are, and they go into the closet never to be seen again. ill gladly give those up as a concession. only thing it could be useful for is spraying at 20000 people

The undersheriff walked back a lot of what the sheriff said earlier regarding the girlfriend, timeframe of answers, etc.

I’m guessing they’re having trouble getting this chick to come back. Shockingly

I think this runs a lot deeper than the 2 of them.

Nah, he was dead when they entered. Shot the security guard through the door.

I'm convinced the altercation with the security guard drove him to stop shooting and just kill himself.

Did anyone ever debunk the Facebook video of the alleged gf in the airport shouting “pow” and saying “4 days America. 4 days”? Sorry if so, just super hard for me to keep up.


With the way security has been in airports since 9/11, if this were true, she wouldn’t have been allowed on a plane for a loooong time.

People who shoot guns for recreation and enjoyment like them. Not every firearm or accessory needs to have a legit reason for owning.

Everything I've seen indicates that shooter was dead by the time SWAT had burst into the room, not AS they entered.

And so since we know the shooting had ceased about an hour before SWAT entered the suite, imagine how much more carnage could have occurred had he not offed himself so soon.

There is a ton of mis-information at this point regarding the timeline of his suicide. So it's hard to say for sure either way.

But I don't think it's a coincidence that he fired 12 volleys and had 12 guns with bumpfire stocks.

Well, hard for me to disagree with those credentials.

It just looks bigger/longer to me.
