A pregnant lady and her husband were both shot and reported their nine year old missing. This is so messed up.

Why is the NYPD Commissioner making statements on this?
I don't see a conspiracy here, only a tragedy that I expect politicians and activist organizations to exploit to get legislation passesed to further erode and restrict freedom.

Maybe it was something sinister, I doubt if a neighbour would have called 911 if it was something bland.
This isn't the wild west anymore. And you aint in Kansas Dorathy!

Calming the citizens of his city? Anytime there is any hint of violence or terrorism, somebody from New York makes a statement to pre-empt any panic.
Yea, those doors open out not in.

When strictly playing with my AR- on a range and not trying for any accuracy, I could empty a magazine in seconds. No modifications necessary. It's just pulling the trigger as fast as the finger can move. In a theater full of people? it's a horrible scene to consider. It's even graduated for height, so aiming truly is a moot consideration for spraying wild rounds and still hitting someone with almost every one of them.
I agree. I had 30-rd magazines taped together, and I could "bump-fire" my AK from the hip and keep all the bullets within a pretty small spray area and empty a magazine in seconds. 60-rounds in about 20 seconds including flpping the magazines.
If this guy had a crowded theatre, with panicked people clumping at exits, and he had all those different guns, it is pretty amazing that only 71 were shot in the 2 minutes. I wonder how many the theatre even holds? Maybe he shot pretty much everyone that wasn't sitting right next to an exit?
I'm still baffled that he didn't just shoot the responding cops though? He had more bullet-proofing than they did, and he had more guns readily accessible than they did, and he was already guilty of murder, what's a few more bodies? Why didn't he just shoot the responding cops and leave the scene? Why did he mention the booby trapping? Did he intentionally get captured, and intentionally draw all this attention to his apartment? Is it misdirection? Insanity? Regret?

It sounds like he was hoping neighbors would be concerned and either they would bust through the door or paramedics would bust through. I wonder if a computer or documents will be recovered detailing his plans.

Wrong again, but spoken like a true peasant
A guns sole purpose is to fire a projectile. Where said projectile goes it determined entirely by its human operator.
I own many guns. If a guns purpose is to kill, are mine defective since none of my guns has never been used to kill anything?
How does it feel to have such a paralyzing fear of an inanimate object?

you can twist your belief of what a gun is whatever way you want.
the simple truth is that is for killing. plain and simple.
a gun is for killing.
open your eyes, open your heart, open your soul.
i am sorry to inform you that i fear nothing sir.
those that are scared and live in fear carry weapons.
