Really goes to show that they will claim any violent act as theirs regardless of the facts. Unfortunately, Americans have way bigger problems on their hands than ISIS.

| Guns don't kill, people do. There is no doubt at all that this fellow would have left his hotel room, attacked the crowd with his bare hands and killed all those people even if he didn't have assault weapons. That's all it takes - one grumpy old bastard with a bad attitude. |

Culprit,
good to see you're focusing on the victims rather than using this tragedy to push a political agenda. |

Due to the amount of people dying at the hands of idiots at a regular rate, I'm desensitised. Maybe if I pray to a fictional character then that will bring the victims back and make everyone feel better whilst I ignore the reality of what transpires on a regular basis. |

Not a fictional character - fairies are real. |

Got me £$%$ed where they were holding an outdoor concert there. 
Vegas is an amazing place where people can walk the streets at all hours, drinking alcohol openly, watching street performers and F all trouble with zero visible Police presence. |

How, in the city with more security cameras than any other in the world, did he get all these weapons & ammo into his room?

Is it really all that difficult? Would anyone blink twice at someone bringing what appeared to be a bag of golf clubs into a hotel room?
As for how he bought them all, well I guess we already know that.

I'm not sure how big your golf clubs are David
The police found an arsenal in the gunman’s hotel room.
At least 23 firearms, including a handgun, were found in Mr. Paddock’s hotel suite, according to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. Some were rifles equipped with scopes, said Sheriff Joseph Lombardo of the Police Department, adding that Mr. Paddock used multiple rifles during the attack.
A federal law enforcement official earlier said there were at least 20 rifles in the suite, along with hundreds of rounds of ammunition, including two rifles outfitted with scopes and set up on tripods in front of two big windows. Another official said that among the weapons were AR-15-style assault rifles. Both officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to divulge details of the investigation.
Sheriff Lombardo said that Mr. Poddack brought in at least 10 suitcases into his hotel room over a period of time.
*and this didn't ring some sort of alarm bell..? For somebody, anybody, in security?
