Las Vegas shooting - a point not yet made

[westwall]

I have seen a lot of idiotic posts on here and yours is just another one....obviously made by someone with no common sense or analytical ability.
Try and use your brain....would anyone that is willing to shoot a bunch of innocent people actually try and limit the numbers he would kill?

And yet, he did just that with his choice of weaponry.
If he wanted to kill as many people as he could, why did he choose 24 AR15s and 10 AR10s?

First of all the loser was delusional not of sound mind. He purchased those weapons long before he went suicidal.

He just wanted to kill a bunch of people...and he did that. That was his goal.

As to his knowledge of weaponry...probably not that good...sure he could have used weaponry that would have killed even more...but he did what he wanted.

His thinking was not at the level you suggest....aka.....to kill as many people as he possibly could....he had the weapons to kill a bunch of people...that is all he wanted.

The fact that he was planning this for months, and had reconnoitered multiple targets, says you are ignoring a lot about the shooter

Yes, he had reconnoitered multiple targets, again it's strange because that means he was not just targeting the conservatives?

We don't know why he chose that particular target.

I think for no other reason than a bunch of people gathered together in a spot where he could easily shoot them....though there are some he claimed his real target were the huge fuel tanks by the airport just east of where the concert was....he fired at them but apparantly only 2 rounds hit the tanks and only 1 round punctured a fuel tank .

Yes, he had reconnoitered multiple targets....

Clearly, the actions of the crazed and delusional.

Yes, but the method was complicated shooting from a window.

No apparent motive. Certainly, he did what he did for a reason.

Since he is dead it can never be said for sure exactly what motivated him....yet with the power of deductive reasoning and a good understanding of gamblers and the history of what motivates so many suicides in vegas then one can deduce quite logically that the most likely thing that triggered his descent into a suicide mode was the fact that he had lost a lot of money...so much money in fact that the Sheriff of Vegas said he would no longer have been able to maintain his facade of a high rolling successful gambler.

Anyone with knowledge of why so many gamblers have comitted suicide in vegas knows that the primary factor involved is that they lose so much money they are forced to change their lifestyle....now most adapt to that but some cannot or do not...thus their desire to end it all.

As mentioned before...... why in this particular case did the perp decide to take a lot of people with him?

That is certainly debateable and one can only conjecture about why he chose to do so.

Even the FBI with all their ability to psychoanalyze have said that they really do not know for sure.

Factors that should be considered....his mental state....and also a big possibility that was never mentioned by the media or the FBI....'REVENGE'---gamblers that lose a lot of money always blame someone else for it...never wanting to take responsibility for their own stupidity.

He could very well have blamed las vegas for his losses and wanted to get revenge....hoping that killing a bunch of people would perhaps put a big focus on gambling and its devastating effect on lots of people....and also he may have thought it would hurt tourism---thus damaging the finances of the hotel-casino owners.

I remember once riding to the Las Vegas airport in a cab and this guy(a plumber form Chicago) kept cursing las vegas....blaming las vegas for the fact he lost 20 grand--completely unwilling to accept the fact he did it to himself. This is quite common in Vegas.

Another big factor his father was a bank robber....and his brother in Calif. has demonstrated some level of insanity....so he may have had some very bad genes.

I happened upon this - another demonstration of how the LV shooter could have easily chosen to kill a lot more people .
Note that everything here is completely legal, until you attach the drill.
Once you spin the drill up, you're looking at 1000-1200 rounds per minute going down range.

Yeah, he went a different. more recognizable to his own experience with firearms route.

True, though it takes about 10 minutes of figuring to devise this.

Not sure why it isn't obvious:
The only reason he didn't use a rig like this is he didn't want to.
Thus, he chose to limit the number of people he could kill.

Remind me, how many people did he kill and historically how does that number line up with other mass shootings?

What's the point? That average Joe could have killed even more people than the record he already set? OK....good one?

I did. You seem to be saying it could have been worse. Ok....nifty, now what?
