The banned played on
Justice and ATF are looking to ban bump stocks:
Possessing firearm parts that are used exclusively in converting a weapon into a machine gun is illegal, except for certain limited circumstances, U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) said in a joint statement. Today we begin the process of determining whether or not bump stocks are covered by this prohibition.
That whole Vegas shooting thing has really dropped of the radar, hasn’t it? Wonder why.

Have you seen the movie Jack Reacher? Instead of focusing on the shooter we should focus on who got shot.

A bunch of high-level “retirements” from LVPD in the past month. Sheriff not seeking re-election, etc. No explanation is attached to most of them

“That whole Vegas shooting thing has really dropped of the radar, hasn’t it? Wonder why.”
I think there was more to it “than meets the eye”. For one thing, there would certainly be surveillance videos. And there have been NONE shown. And then there was always the FBI man standing by glaring at the sheriff lest he divulged too much. The whole truth would have probably not been good for the reactionary gun control agenda. That’s enough, I may be labeled a “conspiracy theorist” ’cause we’re always told these mass shootings are always the work of a lone gunman.

Sheldon Adelson, the casino owner, gave $100 million to Trump’s campaign alone. Trump flew to Las Vegas to discuss with him how to “heal” (their word) from the shooting. The conspiracy is not to do anything that will further damage the Las Vegas casino industry. Just let everything slide down the memory hole.

Ron there is a LOT to be said that we have seen ZERO footage from the Casino of this guy.
It’s a damn casino, unless we’re talking the rooms or the restrooms (and even then I wouldn’t be surprised) there re cameras EVERYWHERE, likely with long archive time, just in case last month’s big winner comes back and wins huge again and now staff needs to figure out how he’s beating the odds.
The guy humped a hojillion rifles up to his room, AND the LVPD sold pictures of the dead body to the press, and NO news outlets have blurry video (tho I bet the Casino cams are all HD) of this asshole pushing a luggage cart of rifle cases or steamer trunks or whatever up to his room?
“Conspiracy Theorist” does not mean crackpot. People conspire all the time, I’ve done it, certainly things like Fast and Furious, and the Weaponized IRS are pretty well-documented conspiracies.
A theory can be crackpot, but certainly this was one of the worst mass shootings, it could be spun as a terror event done by a white dude of no particular religious affiliation (Man bites Dog story), and the fact that video exists of this guy that nobody in the general public has seen, does make it VERY suspicious.

You are exactly correct and I totally agree. A conspiracy is two or more people purposing and carrying out an action, usually by clandestine means which may or may not be for nefarious purposes. By the way, according to most any dictionary, “collusion” is a synonym for “conspiracy”.

My Conspiracy:
Saudi special forces brought here in late 2016, given the mission, firearms, and cash, no contacts in the U.S. for plausible deniability. Mission to hit concert, but Hillary was supposed to be POTUS, and use the shooting to further the left gun control agenda up to and including confiscations and the start of the second civil war. The thought of her not winning never entered the minds of those responsible, and the mission went forward, and the usual corrupt leadership we are seeing fall on the sword today in the FBI, are the ones protecting the mission and the CIA who followed orders from the Clinton’s.
Make a good book, but as always we the people will never know the truth, and the anti Trump FBI agent that was removed from the investigation is further smokescreen to cover this up. Perhaps if they would give the public the truth it would end conspiracy theories, but I fear the truth is worse then my own.

@Blounttruth,
Yes, I think there’s much more than the Las Vegas sheriff and his FBI handler have divulged, or rather, have not:

It’s very simple…if the media thought the the story would hurt Trump, you would still he hearing about it. If the facts help Trump, it will be buried.
December 10th, 2017 at 11:11 pm
@HL, yes, and particularly if the media thinks that the real story would be more emotional fodder to help the citizen disarmament reactionaries.

@Ron W
Wow, Now that is strange as I have never created my own conspiracy so far out there and then see others come close with the same grand scheme. These ABC organizations need far more oversight, and far less cowards in Congress to make that happen.
