I seem to remember at the time that it would be out this past October, but I don't remember seeing anything since.
Since we're moving ahead with the Bump Stock Ban, I figure it must have been released and I missed it. Anybody know where this stands? It was (naturally) such a big event at the time and I followed the Arfcom thread for a while, but I haven't heard anything in quite some time. |

The FBI has proven that they can’t be trusted and their deafening silence after the attack is very suspicious.

It was a Benghazi style arms deal with DeepState but the FBI will never admit that because they are DeepState.

Quoted: There was a video of a Trump protester wearing a pussy hat, no less, who looked just like Paddock. A fellow protester came up, hugged him and called him Steven. I'd also read that he acquired most of the guns he used in Vegas in the year following Trump's election. He then decided to shoot up a concert that was packed with country music fans (likely Trump voters or, at least, conservative leaning).

To answer your question No....
I filed an FOIA with FBI and ATF when the rule making process started. I requested the reports of technical examination of the firearms used in the shooting. ATF claims even though they received the firearms in April (just after the rule making process started0 that ATF did NOT examine them to date re: Peter Chism ATF disclosure division)....Uh Huh...Sure. FBI on the other hand told me to fuck off citing law enforcement exemption....When I file suit, now they claim they are having trouble searching for the documents I requested. Still on going. In short when asked for proof the firearms and bump stocks were used in the shooting the govt. told me to basically fuck off. |

So many reasons that we deserve to know all and in today's day and age with all the forensic capabilities we posses...we know fuckin nothin bout nothin? Are you for real? Lol I mean a 777 vanishes off the pool planet and we can find it? I guess at least some parts of it were recovered but it just stinks to high heaven how little we know about that case too. |

That was odd.
We never did hear much about the shooter, his girlfriend or the motive. Didn't get much investigative reporting either. |

My bet is FBI setup for a big sting - lefty looney wanted revenge on trump supporters. FBI wanted a big win, shit went sideways, the guy probably realized the jig was up and acted quickly because that was his desire, and coverup is abound due to A) FBI/.gov fuck up and B) Lefty. I think the primary cover up is A due to the fact they cant really release any info without uncovering that but B is still in play because if it was a right wing reason Congressional Dems would have screamed for immediate information.
The true motive will never see the light of day but the worst part, just like parkland, is the how quick those are to take away rights with zero information. |

What ever happened to his nutcase brother that couldn't avoid a TV camera if he tried?

[#22]
This isn’t a movie or TV show,he didn’t need a cut and dried motive to wrap the plot up nicely. The guy was an asshole and figured out how he could shoot the most people.
GD deciding he was the pussy hat guy is the stupidest thing I have seen on here. |

With everything that has gone on, I have zero trust in the backbone of the FBI to do their job. There has been plenty of obvious bias shown by lead agents.
Now, I do believe there are a ton of good guys/gals within the agency that want to do their jobs. But they are not public facing. |

[#29]
Why would they? Legislation has now been handed down as a result.
Mission accomplished guys! I have no doubt the guy was a left wing kook |

Looking at Paddock's mysterious past you see that he worked a series of govt jobs before he went dark.
My take is that he was some kind of contract operative for the govt. He was a pilot and accountant with private planes and safe houses near airports. His girlfriend's immigration to the USA was sponsored by a State Dept US official and she claimed employment by the FBI at some point. The whole incident seemed to be designed to stoke gun control and perhaps turn country and western fans against gun rights. |

View Quote I understand why the idea of a wealthy older white guy with a bunch of guns putting homicidal thoughts into action scares so many enough to refuse wanting consider that it can just happen but I believe that is all there is to it. For whatever reason this guy who had a lifestyle many on here would be jealous of had a long festering hatred of humanity and decided to act upon it. It is pointless trying to make it an entirely neat,rational action because it was not. The only thing that separated him from other mass shooters was having the ability to fund this. |
