"...Which begs the question: Why did he spend energy and time sneaking all those firearms into the hotel knowing that when bullets started flying, he wouldn’t get the chance to use even half of what he had on hand?The writer of the email quoted in Steyn’s article believes the answer to motive is “publicity." Specifically, that “this man [Paddock] wished to telegraph to America in graphic form the hard irrefutable evidence that guns and gun ownership, and the ease of gun purchase in America are an evil and must be controlled.
On that hypothesis, everything now makes sense."
There’s no hard evidence to support this theory, of course, but one must admit, with the meager information we currently have at hand, it makes sense.
Steyn’s reader believes that Paddock did leave a message, “it only happens to be implicit instead of explicit.
That message is ‘guns.’
And that message is being trawled over every minute of every day on every network in America."
...If it is the case, however, that Paddock believed he was killing for “righteous” ends, this is clearly sinister idealism at work..."
