On Sunday, October 1, 2017, a man by the name of Stephen Paddock, was known to be someone who did the most largest shooting in US history. At a Los Vegas strip, there was a country concert across the street from the Mandalay Bay Hotel. On the 32nd floor of the hotel, Paddock managed to get 10 assault rifles and shoot down at the concert and managed to kill and injure 400+ people.
Questions:
1) How do you think Paddock got so many rifles into the hotel.
2) What was his reason for shooting up a concert

You did a very good job commenting! Be sure to comment three different days next time. Your summary is very brief. Be sure to provide your personal thoughts within your summary as well as a link to the story you are referencing.
Yeah that's true but the security they do have is mainly with casinos inside them. That's true.
People weren't paying much attention and they didn't seem to be doing their job. He probably did this for fame.
That's probably true. But then why would he shoot himself?
He probably had a couple of big bags that he brought in with him and no one had thought anything about it. It is hard to say what his motive is at this time, but this man was probably crazy because his father was a bank robber and also did things that aren't good either.
That's relevant. That's exactly what I was thinking.
There aren't any bag checks in hotels, so he easily walked in carrying many assault rifles. I don't think this man had a reason, I think he is just a domestic terrorist. People who do these things are just doing them to terrorize others.
Yeah that is true. And yeah, I agree with you 100%.
I would assume that he probable smuggled them, concealing them under clothing, and other stuff. Maybe he wanted to shoot up a concert to get attention from the media, but then again, we don't know much about his psyche to even know the true reason for his actions.
Yes definitely. And in his family line, he had a couple crazy family members, the latest one of his family was his father. He was a bank robber so it could be a thought.
