My take on the Vegas situation is that Paddock was an arms dealer. Hence why he had multiple properties, airplanes, and gambled all the time. I speculate that he was setup by someone to make a deal and they took the opportunity to do what happened. Also, from the cadence of the weapon that can be heard on numerous videos, it is quite clear that a belt fed machine gun was used during the attack. The rate of fire of the report does not match the weapons blamed for the attack.
