re: Why did the LV shooter have so many guns?

I'm laughing at the people trying to argue with the guitar analogy. Every song you hear on the radio has multiple guitars, and every guitarist that plays live has multiple guitars, you need them because different guitars do different things, you guys need to find a different argument

I actually think that is a possibility

I am well aware of it. The speculation has been rampant

Your theory is as good as the next guys

Before the boating accident I could have put his collection to shame.

Why are there so many words allowed with free speech? Shouldn't the first amendment only apply to the first 500 words a person speaks and the the government has a say in what's said?

And yet another who chooses not to comprehend. I've been an NRA member since 1988, and a NAGR member since 2000. I don't think a person can have too many weapons.

I do think that 23 weapons in a hotel room is rather odd, certainly for one person, even if the plan was to spray and pray until all ammo was gone.

in order to fire as many rounds as possible, i can easily see him having 4 or even 8 tripod-mounted weapons at each window and then fire each of them until expended, then move to the other window (the pause in the shooting) and do the same

no matter what this sick frick intended to kill as many people as possible before he was caught.

horrifying the amount of planning that went into this.

The pauses in fire doesn't agree with this. I know I can swap PMAGs in either of my rifles, and resume firing faster than it sounds on the video.

He switched windows, most likely to throw the police off and act like two different shooters. That easily explains any pauses.

Having 23 guns in the room doesn't make sense for a shooting like this. Having a stack of 20 - 60 round topped off surefire mags doesn't make sense either - especially considering that he had lots of spare time to continue before being interrupted. Also, if he was simply switching guns then there shouldn't be long pauses like you hear in videos.

I wouldn't be shocked if he was trying to sell these guns to the wrong people and something went really wrong. Say what you want about the tin foil hat tards but the arms dealer theory makes sense at this point.

The only "typical mass shooter" narrative that I can rationalize is that he was expecting people to show up and help.

This guy shoots 500 people and you are questioning how he reasoned he'd need so many guns? Almost as if you expect his decision making to be rational....


Interesting.

I find it much more interesting that without knowing almost any facts, you seem to think that you know what and how the guy was thinking, and it explains the whole scenario, when the possibilities are still endless at this point.

so they can argue that citizens should only be allowed a certain amount of weapons.

Maybe he just didn't know any better but I'm not betting on that. He did seem slightly intelligent and presumably would have put some effort to plan.

Well, we don't know what exactly is being classified as a weapon either. He could have had a pocket knife, a fixed blade knife, a couple of cans of mace, and a taser that they counted as weapons.
