    The Las Vegas gunman left only cryptic clues, and agents are under intense pressure to identify a motivehttp://nyti.ms/2fXDjyr

        The only motive I'm concerned with is the republicans motive to let people continue to die. Oh, wait. Money you say? Never mind.

        With more than 310 million guns in America (as of 2009 per 2015 WP article), and the 2A, what fix do you propose?

        Regulate automatic and semiautomatic weapons. Unless you have sixty criminals per minute entering your home, you don't need that ammunition

        Knowing the motive isn't going to change anything. What we do to prevent it from happening again can. Is this rocket science ?

        They don’t want to say he was just a gun nut who got a buzz out of shooting living targets, that will cause an argument

        We should be focusing on why/how this happens from a systemic lens... his personal motive won't help anyone. #VegasShooting

        I expect nothing to change regardless of his motive. If Sandyhook didn’t change anything nothing will.

        The why isn't going to help the dead but what the government does now to honour the dead is what is important ban assault rifles now

        His motive is irrelevant. How/why was he able to accumulate that arsenal w/o anyone noticing/reporting/stopping him?

        Motive? He was suicidal and we allowed him to amass massive amounts of weapons designed only for killing. Looking for a clear conscience.
