Tonight on the " news " I learned two things. One or two of his guns were modified with a " bump stock " which allows a semi-automatic rifle to sound like and simulate an automatic rifle. These devices are completely legal and inexpensive in the scheme of things. The debate on whether they should be belongs elsewhere. Someone also said this individual was a " Narcissist " which sort of fits with what we know about him to date. While a layman, when it come to psychology, this means to me that he has never given one thought through his entire life to anyone but himself. While pure speculation, his motivation could have been as simple as to go down in history as a mass murderer.
