The shooter was supposed to be worth several million. He passed repeated back ground checks as he bought guns. He stayed under the radar in all respects so there was not warning of what might be coming. If true, he could have bought a fully automatic machine gun. They are out there, can be bought legally and transferred with the proper tax stamp from BATF. If he had a Browning 30 cal. instead of a cobbled up wannabe this death toll would have been much greater. How much carnage could a 30 cal., belt fed, Browning done? The death toll might be ten times as much. And a 50 cal. would be worse.

It is the motive that I can not understand. Was it related to side effects of his medication as some claim? Was he just insane because his father and other family members went off the rails? Did he just want fame at the end of his life? We may never know.
