yes David, I agree....tell me was there any ballistics done to see if some or any at all of his guns were used?Myself…..this guy was a patsy for something much more sinister....thanks
Stuart, the final investigative report from Vegas lists each firearm found by type, caliber, and whether it was equipped with a bump-fire stock. If you keep working your way through the pages, you eventually finally find a separate listing of which weapons were "determined" to have been fired (and supposedly how many times, suggesting ballistics matching of recovered bullets). You can keep flipping back and forth between the two listings -- or as I did, copy the descriptive list, then go to the fired list and annotate the first list.
According to that, bump-fire stocked rifles were fired.
Oddly enough, despite the scoped bolt-action rifle, spotting scope, and ballistics calculations, they claim the bolt-action rifle was not fired.
Here's the list of weapons fired:

Bear, nonetheless the points remain that no ATF technical examination report has been released and of the guns recovered, the last official word is that they were not allowed to inspect them "on scene" for modifications, sears, etc.
What has happened in subsequent inspection is still publicly unknown, and if they have mitigating information, this was their chance to present it, but instead they kicked the can.
Until we are given access to Firearms Technology Branch analyses we won't know if any had been converted.
Agreed, David. I'm just noting that at this time there is now some official document saying that bump-fire stocked-equipped rifles were fired.
And I still note that audio from that night has loud, steady booms AND rapid, sharp cracks (at differing rates of fire. Almost as both .308 and .223/5.56 were fired. But supposedly only bump-stocked .223/5.56 is reported...
Perhaps this is the opportunity to bring both the 1934 and 1968 Acts in to question with a view to repealing them completely?
