n the 32nd floor, he's at a minimum of 350ft off the ground (just my rough guess


did a conversion of story to feet and came up with 346.4, but like a said earlier, 32nd floor doesn't mean 32 stories in Vegas. I's say closer to 400 feet.

400 feet high and 1200 feet to the concrete area puts your shooting distance about 1265 feet. So area targets at 385 -400m

Hope "Carson" doesn't stand for Carson City. If so, you can expect the Gubment to be up your arse. Whether you know it or not.

Why?


Because there is a limited availability of them and no new ones being introduced.

Why?


they're extremely rare and their value will only increase. fully automatic guns that are transferable to individuals MUST have been manufactured and entered into the NFA registry before May of 1986. Anything after that can only be transferred between SOTs.

there are even more subclasses and nuances to it that I wont get into, but that's the gist. you can't just make more pre-1986 guns, so their value will continue to increase.

My dad got an FFL for the purchase of two full autos. We are collectors only.

I guess I was wrong about it being necessary though. Maybe it varies state to state. My dad got it purely for the purchase of the automatics.


I think you are using the wrong terminology.

I can't make any sense of this disgusting behavior. He was a 63 year old white guy with no military or law enforcement background. The weapons were automatics to where the gun laws that the people on the Left ask for are in place. He was a hunter and enjoyed country music concerts. I don't buy a 63 year old converting to Islam. He just had to have snapped. None of it makes any real sense to me.

texted the brother asking how the mom did during Irma.


This is evidence that something isn't right with this guy. What kind of man wouldn't check on his mother after a hurricane?

Nah, this is a weird one. I think there's going to be a lot of interesting details coming out over the next few days.

Had to have pre-mediatated to get that sort of vantage point on the concert.

How does someone "snap" yet continue to act normal until it comes time to do what he did. Had to have been some sort of motive.

Why are people hung up on the luggage situation? Do y'all realize how many trade shows, conventions, sales seminars, and events like that there are in Vegas? I imagine hotels see people with way more than 6 or 7 bags check in daily. And if he's been there a week and brought up one or two at a time, I don't see how anyone would've or should've expected anything.


Luggage scanning would be a complete waste of time, as there are other elevated places someone could use (parking garages being one).

Not everyone has the same relationship with their family you do.

Talk about shite not adding up. How do they even know it was him, other than his dead body was found in the room where the shots were fired from?

and so it begins

So what begins? Stating facts and recognizing logical inconsistencies?
Yeah I guess rambling about bullshite is a better route to take.
