Gun Control (obvious)
More government control in general
One of the victims was the target, the rest are a cover story (Jack Reacher plot)
Harming MGM stock value
Covering up some sort of FBI/CIA operation gone bad
Covering an Islamic terror related situation
I'm sure in your line of work you have seen people do horrific things to other humans for a lot less motivation than furthering political change in a super power country.
Again, I'm not suggesting that happened, just showing what conspiracy theories are around.
For the conspiracy theorists, I have read he is an illegal using someone else's SSN.
I didn't even need to click on the thread to know who posted it.

The shooters last known official job anyone can find proof of was from 1985-1988 as an accountant / auditor for a division of Lockheed-Martin.
The guy had every gold card to every major casino in Vegas in his wallet. Basically, he could walk into any casino and say "Where's the high roller room?" and he would be taken to it, plus get the best rooms given to him. That fact alone says he was gambling a few million dollars a year.
He owned 2 airplanes. Anybody who has been around airplanes knows that owning one is not a cheap endeavor. One of the planes was leased to a company out east that is well known for its "government work"....
ISIS has never been wrong when they claim that an attack was done on their behalf. Even when authorities originally thought they were wrong, ultimately the evidence proved ISIS to be correct.
I don't know what the exact story is, but as Hannity and several others have said, this guy was a ghost for many years and something about this doesn't smell right.
And the stuff I stated was from guys I listen to that have 10 plus years connections inside the LVMPD and Sherriff's departments. That info was passed along from those inside sources.
Those same sources say that there is a video tape where he did explain his reasoning for the shooting. Those sources also said that the investigation is sooo huge and goes in so many different directions that it will take a long time to fully investigate every lead. And last week the FBI showed up and confiscated all evidence and completely took over the investigation.
So, you guys can believe what you want. I have no idea what the truth is, but those are pieces of information from guys who have been correct about many situations over the last few years.
More fallout from the politization of the DOJ under Obama.
mental illness and/or lack of critical thinking skills maybe?
Let me know when one of your conspiracy threads actually turns out to be true. Until then, you'll continue to be the National Enquirer of the CF in my book.
I'm curious, how many hours a day do you spend scouring your right wingnut sites to find your material? When was the last time you hunted, or even stepped outdoors?
And what satisfaction do you derive from starting a thread that either gets debunked immediately, or gets nothing but the usual "rah rah" type responses? Wouldn't you prefer topics that generate honest discussion with opposing opinions from both sides?
I'll admit, I've been one of your biggest critics, but that's only because I think you're smarter than what some of your threads suggest. When you actually articulate your own thoughts, instead of copying and pasting those of others, I enjoy your perspective.
Anyway, my apologies for my brashness. I'll will try to improve on that.

For the record, I've maintained all along Paddock's gambling has something to do with this. I don't have any unique insight, it's just a hunch. The addicted gamblers I've known have always been less than reputable characters, and often on the the wrong side of the law. I never considered illegal firearms as the reason for his gambling, and I'm not sure how that relates to massacring innocent people, but I guess it's as good a theory as any.
Matt
Yes, the truth will surface sooner or later. I hope he was acting on his own.
God bless, Steve
Personally, I think Paddock was an effing nut. I think he did this by himself. I hope I am wrong. I hope they do link him to some terrorist organization, or there was another. Some thing to justify our anger; to give some clarity to the abundance of conjecture and conspiracy. Then again lately, it seems like the waters never really clear up anymore.
If ISIS is involved in this shooting there will be hell to pay for them. Worst case would be BLM or Antifa is involved. Not sure how it would be handled, it would be very dangerous.
Biggest mass shooting in recent history (not the biggest in America's history) no criminal case pending, suspect dead and we haven't gotten basic facts like Paddocks cause of death confirmed, number of rounds, number of people shot vs other injuries, what Campos was shot with, who leaked the room photos, what camera gear did he have and how was it set up, contents of his phones and recent texts, evidence list from the room, etc.
I'm sure it takes time to process all the bullet strikes, ballistics and CCTV footage of him around Vegas and in the hotel that week but I would have expected the room and his body to be done by now.
If there was an investigation involving other suspects I could see keeping a lid on things. Otherwise just dump info out. We can handle it and the lack of info just fuels speculation.

"Hello, Special Prosecutor Mueller's Office, This is Damien may I help you?"
"Uh huh,Yes... Oh Hi , how are you?"
"Of course you can testify against Madame Secretary Clinton."
"Oh, yes! We absolutely guarantee your safety." "This is America and we protect whistle-blowers for justice with every fiber of our being."
"Uh-huh. Yes."
"We will gladly meet you and take your official statement." "Do you have a pencil and paper? ... Great."
"Please gather all of the pertinent documents in your posession, hard drives, thumb drives, recordings, notes and photos and we will meet you at 3:45 AM at Fort Marcy Park on October 27." " Dangerous? *chuckles* Of course not. We'll be completely safe." "Be sure to bring everything as Mr. Mueller is very thorough."
"A lot of evidence??" "Well, We can send a truck." "Oh, it won't be a problem."
"Great!, see you then!"
"No problem and you're welcome Ms. Wasserman-Schultz." "Looking forward to meeting you very soon."
*click*
Being reported that Jose Campos, the security guard who was shot in the leg, went to Mexico after the shooting & Paddocks laptop in his room was missing the hard drive.
Looks like all the puzzle pieces are on the table in in place. Took a while but this should end the conspiracy speculations :^)

Interesting fact I didn't know..... Gambling is a very good way to launder money.....
New info is very scarce related to Vegas since the FBI took over everything. But comparisons that have been thrown around by insiders are: Fast and Furious and Mena, AR.
