I have no doubt that there were a number of concert goers carrying weapons.
While it doesn't rule out the possibility of more than one shooter it wouldn't be unexpected that people would pull out their concealed weapons.
What is a rugger 22? A buggered Ruger perhaps?
There are various sound clips of his firing. The first one I heard, the rate of fire slowed then sped up again. It sounded odd. The others apparently didn't sound like that, the speed was consistent.
People who had not heard the odd one were guessing that he had a machine gun up there. It was the odd sounding one that led to speculation about a bump stock. From the amount of shooting he was doing he likely had several rifles fitted with bump stocks.
As for speculation about psychotropic medication, the first report I saw mentioned valium. Some years ago I read an article that in the few dozen previous mass shooting events in the US of A all of the culprits had been on Prozac, alone or in combination with other drugs. A fairly serious side effect I'd have thought, but then Trump has recently signed that a firearms permit cannot be refused on mental health grounds. Marvellous, just bloody marvellous.![]()

Taxi driver video of the live events for those interested (or not to ignore) starts slowly and progresses as the chaos builds. - Bit different.
Well, regarding the guy's claim that the photo of the broken windows is taken before sunset, the question would have to be - was the photo taken on the day of the event or the following day?
The shooting happened just after 10pm, but sunset at this time of the year in Las Vegas is just after 6pm.
If those windows were broken 4 hours before the shooting even started - that would be fucking weird.
As to why so many guns.....
Shooting makes barrels very hot,
Shooting on auto makes barrels incredibly hot...
You never see that on Rambo movies but you supposed to change your barrel after every 100 rounds....
At 600/800 rounds a minute that gives you about 10 seconds or less on full auto.
Machine guns have quick changeable barrels. M16 and the like don't. ... so if you plan on playing Rambo for any length of time you need shit loads of shoddy military style rifles...
What happens if you don't change barrels after 100 rounds....?
They get so hot that I have seen them bend like a banana...
And I have also seen barrels blow off completely.
But when people are shooting back you don't always stop to change barrels.....
Why so many suitcases?
One box of 800 rounds of 7.62 (308 in Merica) only lasts a bit over a minute but takes 2 guys to carry...
5.56 mm is a lot lighter but still....
Opinions are like arseholes: Everybody has got one, but that doesn't mean you got to air it in public all the time....

Have read that the shooter had two bump stocks in the room with him. Interestingly that hotel is/was a gun free zone.
Off duty police at the concert were not permitted to be armed apparently. (Many would normally be armed when off duty.) Not that a Gock or similar would be any use in those circumstances.

no. but it would only take one counter sniper team to have finished it pretty quickly.Off duty police at the concert were not permitted to be armed apparently. (Many would normally be armed when off duty.) Not that a Gock or similar would be any use in those circumstances.
