I do think that it's quite important that we know whether or not this chap acquired his automatic weapon legally or not.

He had 19 guns in his hotel room - plenty enough to kill twice as many people.

Nevada state law lets you buy pretty near anything that goes bang. Most of what he had must have been legal.

This must be a HUGE boost for the gun industry. Nutters all over the country getting hard-ons for Paddock's hardware. They haven't had a good national-headline-news bloody massacre to really show their product off since Trump got elected.

Actually I have a hard time giving a shit when American humans kill each other. The real catastrophe of American gun ownership is what hunting does to the environment: America's animals never voted for Trump.
