There it is...

A lawsuit seeking to represent the victims of the Las Vegas rampage, the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history, was filed against the makers of so-called bump stocks, which the shooter used to achieve a near-automatic rate of fire.

The proposed class action lawsuit, filed in state court in Clark County, Nevada, over the weekend and announced on Tuesday, accuses Slide Fire Solutions and other unnamed manufacturers of negligence leading to the infliction of emotional distress on thousands of people who witnessed or were injured in the Oct. 1 shooting at a Las Vegas music festival.

The lawsuit by three Nevada residents who attended the festival does not involve the injuries that hundreds of people suffered as a result of the shooting, or the families of the 58 people who were killed.

Authorities said shooter Stephen Paddock's ability to fire hundreds of rounds per minute over a 10-minute period from his perch in a 32nd-floor hotel suite was a major factor in the high casualty count. Paddock, 64, killed himself before police stormed his suite.

The lawsuit was filed with support from the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence, a U.S. nonprofit organization that advocates gun control.

Bump stocks allow semiautomatic rifles to operate as if they were fully automatic machine guns, which are heavily restricted in the United States.

In a rare embrace of a new gun control measure, the National Rifle Association last week said it was open to regulating bump stock devices.

The lawsuit said Paddock used a bump stock manufactured by Slide Fire and alleged the company did nothing to prevent the devices from being sold to people they were not intended for.

The complaint accused Slide Fire of misleadingly marketing its bump stocks as intended to aid people with limited hand mobility, allowing them to sell the product under federal law.

Moran, Texas-based Slide Fire did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The lawsuit said the company acted with fraud, oppression and malice toward plaintiffs and showed an intention and willingness to injure people. The Nevada plaintiffs are seeking unspecified punitive damages.

They also asked the court to approve a supervised program of psychological monitoring for everyone affected by the shooting at the expense of Slide Fire.

Jeez.... When will there be a class action against God/Nature for allowing birth? If no one was born, no one would die....

And somehow, the whole thing gets even more fucky.

Someone broke into the shooter's house that is a crime scene under local police and FBI control.

RENO, Nev. — The Las Vegas shooter’s home in Northern Nevada was broken into over the weekend, police confirmed Tuesday.

Reno's Somersett neighborhood, part of a Del Webb retirement community, has been in the spotlight since Stephen Paddock opened fire Oct. 1 from the 32nd floor of Mandalay Bay resort onto the crowd of concertgoers below, killing 58 people and injuring hundreds before killing himself. Paddock, 64, purchased the small tan and brown home in June 2013 and lived there with his girlfriend, Marilou Danley.

The break-in occurred through the front door, said Officer Tim Broadway of the Reno Police Department. Detectives do not yet know the number of suspects involved.

They also were not aware of anything taken or any damage, he said. The FBI, which was notified immediately, and Reno police are working to make sure no further incidents occur.

Conspiracy theorists will eat that up.... "What did they take that the cops didn't want found?"

Yes, I'm conspiring against the conspiracy theorists.

[barronj]

IF it were a criminal, the level of stupidity required to break in to a house already under the microscope of FBI forensic examiners is, well, criminal.

Just doesn't make sense! Changing narrative of timeline, then this? Keystone Cops would have a better run of show than this.

Saw this on imgur the other day, haven't chased it down the rabbit hole yet, so caveat emptor.

^^^ I saw the original story posted on some site that was wayyyyyy out there, like some Brad-Pitt-in-Twelve-Monkeys kinda shit. I pretty much dismissed it as some whackadoo insanity.

Sigh...I'll just check on this story at the end of the year. Should have all the......seriously WTF??

This just seems fishy to me still...where are the hotel camera stills of him hauling all those guns up there? would have to be multiple trips? Did he assemble them in room or did he carry a lot of gun cases around? And two windows out, second shooter then he capped that guy and left?

after digging
phone charger found not to his phone
room keycard used while his car was out of garage
all seems weird

If someone was in the room with him, then the casino video would make that crystal clear. Right?

Would have taken several trips unless he used one of those baggage dolleys, but AR15s break down pretty small with no tools, just two pins and the upper is apart from the lower. Small enough to fit several in a standard duffle bag. That many guns and all those loaded mags woule have been heavy as fuck and been a lot of luggage, but still possible. Hotels don't charge you per bag like airlines so likely no one paid attention except for the any staff wanting a tip to helping him, assuming he accepted help
