I thought it was interesting how on a few occasions, he went to gunshops/smiths for maintenance then another time to get his guns cleaned. pg 162 is an example. If he was such a big "gun nut" why would he take his stuff to get cleaned? Just kinda stood out to me.

Because this event involves a couple thousand people in various states of inebriation, mental capacity and stress.

Interesting how they describe the rate of fire for the guns with bump stocks.  In Rules Of Examinations it states: "Item 2...    ...In addition, when using the SFS bump stock placed in the engaged position, the Item 2 rifle was able to produce rapid semi-automatic fire."

I would say that can be commonplace with witness statements in a high-profile event.

If you talk to career investigators, they will tell you some doozies they've had to deal with over the years just on smaller incidents.

A saw XYZ

B saw YZX

C saw "Oh lawd, they was bunnies and aliens coming out his back, and I said, sweet lord have mercy!"

D saw a red car racing away.

E saw an old man on a moped with an inverted hairpiece.

You get the idea.

Except for that one time a neighbor described my subject as a 6-fingered accordian playing dwarf....with a twin brother who was also a 6-fingered accordian playing dwarf. Turns out the witness was correct on all counts.  I was sure he was batshit crazy.

I'm with you here. That seems odd if he really is a gun nut.

When I worked for a gunsmith, most of the folks that would come in asking specifically for a cleaning were not shooters. Though any firearm we received got a good cleaning before we did any repair work.

Then another oddity was on pg 132. He brought in 4 guns for work. A Armalite, POF 308, Sig 716, and an LMT. Then on Pg 162, he brought 11 guns to another gun shop to be worked on. Those same 4 guns were also worked on another gunshop. SN's matched. Just seemed sorta weird.

I want to know why the dude shooting from the 4th ish floor that was caught on video by that cab driver hasn’t been mentioned.  She uploaded it the day after the shooting and it correlated with a bunch of reports of angles of fire and multiple muzzle flashes from different areas.

Why the hell does someone planning a mass murder and suicide send a fucking rifle in for repair. Im more convinced now that he planned to sell the weapons to a terror group. He ordered a variety of ammo instead of one brand which is odd. Also noticed the FBI doesnt enter revolver cartridges into the computer identification database .

That story about Paddock approaching guys at a shooting range and offering to sell them full auto converted AR15s and AKs is very suspicious.

Who meets strangers at a range and offers to sell them illegally converted AR15s and AKs?

Only thing I can think of is an ATF informant trying to work off his plea deal or an agent.

Of all the years and various States where I've gone to ranges to shoot, I've never been approached in such a manner.  Very odd...

According to Paddock's Wiki page, his computers were full of kiddie porn.

His brother was busted a few days after the shooting for kiddie porn as well.

Still no word on the missing hard drive?

I think it had names & numbers of illegal gun buyers & suppliers.

The government handling of the case invites conspiracy talk. It's an odd case made odder by how they handled it. The FBI's behaviour in various other recent events doesn't help. "Tear up Texas".

I’ve always wondered about the kiddie porn.

As if it was used as leverage to get him to something (not necessarily shoot people).

Sort of we know what you’ve done and who you sometimes interact with.  We know about your brother.  We know about your travels to gamble.  Help us with this (whatever that is) and we. An ignore the kiddie porn and keep your brother out of jail.  Don’t want to end up like your dad right?

Not that one should believe these things but one conspiracy was he was working for fbi/atf selling guns. That was a deal gone bad, they killed him then fired out of window and left.

That sounds exactly like the swift link from the (very vague description).

The width and thickness is right for a LL, but you need steel for the trip on a LL. AL will bend and not work long. I could see an AL swift link working. Steel would be better though.

As to the revolver brass not being entered into the computer I can only speculate they have a way to examine brass extrication marks and dents to ID weapons involved in crimes as well as the firing pin now. Very interesting .

I think it's safe to say that no one is going to release anything truly damaging in a FOIA request, if doing so would implicate the federal government in planning or abetting an act of mass domestic terrorism.

Extremely.

ATF informants or agents. Similar to the Randy Weaver entrapment.
