    I was just thinking about it.

    I think the motive was the guy was angry at the world and wanted to kill as many people as possible before killing himself.

    A man that feels he has nothing to lose is a dangerous thing.

      Ever been to the Bunkerville/Mesquite, Nevada, area? The Vegas shooter was probably acquainted with the Bundys, of “federal building” and “FBI shoot out” fame. I’ve a suspicion the government would prefer people didn’t know he was probably a right wing terrorist.

        I live there. I don’t know if the shooter knew about the Bundy’s story but it’s very unlikely that they ever met. The shooter lived north of the interstate, in one of those fancy estates. I happen to know one of his neighbors. The Bundys lived on the other side of Bunkerville.

          Sure, and they also know gun nuts and militia types literally all over multiple states. He’s their type of people, and only a few miles away, in a sparsely populated area.

            That is a valid point. My instincts tell me that they didn’t meet and my instincts have a great track record but I can’t (completely) rule it out.
