The Threat is Real, very real.

Two words... Timothy McVeigh.

Without firing a single shot, he killed over 160 and wounded another 600.

If mayhem is on your mind, having no access to a gun won't stop you.

In what ? 7 years, Artificial Intelligence should reach the point that it will allow the police to collect/analyse every single non trivial action of every singe American 24/7. That same deep intelligence should then be able to make much better predictions then any current police or psychiatrist about every single Americans non trivial next action over the short and long term . And that Artificial Intelligence will double in it's efficiency every single year. That will curtail and then, soon enough, end these atrocities..AI may have a down side also...

Drift, you're dreaming. All the police presence has failed to find any of this activity so far, unless it is activity they initiated. Those that were stoppped were due to common citizens reporting it.

Looks like he had a terminal illness to me, and wanted to go out like this.

The whole incident seems to beg for more security infrastructure, almost too obviously.

A reasonable one in hindsight is counter-snipers for events like this, which is already standard for other venues (baseball stadiums).

There will be lessons-learned that will be analyzed by cities around the world moving forward.

During a live press conference, Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo revealed that the Las Vegas gunman, Stephen Paddock, may have been “radicalized” and that authorities were attempting to uncover the source of his radicalization.

FALSE.

Infowars sensationalized the Sheriff's comment, and took it out of context.
All he was saying is that the investigation was ongoing, and they didn't know where it might take them.
He did not say (or even hint) that radicalization was suspected. Radicalization was just an example of what COULD POSSIBLY be turned up.

If a false flag or insane individual, the case for more gun control creating a safer society is complete bunk. Every tyrant, money grubbing, power hungry "individual or individuals" has used this excuse to disarm and control the common man. History proves the opposite : https://www.hawaii.edu/powerkills/MURDER.HTM

Incidents like this get sensationalized and soon the political will be dancing on the graves.

Not to minimize the victims, but we have more traffic deaths in Colorado in one month than this incident. More people are killed by drunk drivers across the lower 48 every day than this incident.

For gods sakes, the Flu kills more people annually than guns in the US every year. I shudder to think how many Vets either take their lives or die from drug/alcohol overdose or exposure every year from being homeless.

Yes this was a horrible incident, but for once, can we focus our energies and money where it will make a difference, rather than just make people feel good?

Already illegal to kill someone - did not stop him.
Already illegal to fire a projectile in city limits in a place not otherwise licensed for it - did not stop him.
The man broke a number of other laws, and those did not stop him, how the F is another law going to help?

[just_john]

To the gov't, there is no monetary or political value in fixing the problem, only in perpatuating the "feel good".
One would ask, in a place like a casino based hotel where security is undoubtedly a very high priority, how did he manage to get all that hardware into that room without raising a lot of flags? And, he had to make a lot of trips in/out of the hotel. Were there no cameras in the hallways that might have seen him installing those cameras - and no one saw it? How can this be?

Easily - within common luggage. Lest you forget, an AR can be separated into two much shorter components with ease.

And, he had to make a lot of trips in/out of the hotel.

The killer had been staying there since the previous Thursday. He could have brought 2-3 weapons in each suitcase, completing the task in just a few trips. Spread this out over the course of a day or two and nobody would have raised an eyebrow. "Hey, all I saw was a guy with a couple of suitcases."

Were there no cameras in the hallways that might have seen him installing those cameras - and no one saw it? How can this be?

He placed a camera on a food cart in the hallway. All he needed to do was order room service, tell the staff to leave the cart, install his surveillance equipment, and place the cart outside his room just prior to the attack. As far as hotel security may have been concerned, some guy was hungry.

On the conservative radio, the announcers were talking about an atheist, disgruntled progressive shooting up a bunch of God fearing, conservative, country music loving, republican Trump supporters.

I am guessing his party affiliation was Democrat or we would have heard about the radical conservative Republican that did this.

Of course conservative talk radio would spin it that way to stir up their audience. Last I heard, law enforcement had not yet established a motive.

And reportedly the shooter was himself a country music fan.

Conservatives are not generally stirred up the way progressives are. That is why they are called conservative.

Reportedly, I could say anything and be right, from a certain point of view.

LOL. No.

I dunno. If it is, you will never see it on the MSM (main stream media).

I found this other one with what looks like muzzle flash near the end of the video.

Maybe some ex-military members can comment.

Oh, jeez.
The narrator of the first video even says it's impossible to tell who the guy in the pink shirt is.
And the second video contains so much stupid that I'm not going to waste time addressing it.

[JASmith]

The level and detail of planning gives ample food for thinking about how much help this guy had and from whom...

Stan, see link below. It was libturds that started the "targeting Trump supporters" on Monday. Some even celebrated...

I believe it will ultimately be revealed he was another sick leftist with a political agenda...stay tuned
