The stories I've seen offer up gambling as a speculative reason, but not any clear figure. Got a link?
I swear I am going to TAR AND FEATHER (Translation, metaphorically KEEP PULLING MY HAIR OUT) the next person that speculates at motive.
ACCESS ACCESS ACCESS, the sicko bought 30 firearms in less than a year.
I could give a shit less what his motive was.
Revenge? So what.
Roof was racially motivated.
Va Tech Shooter and Newton Shooter were mentally ill.
Columbine killers were thrill killers.
Pulse shooter was religiously motivated and took it out on gays.
They all got access to firearms.
PLEASE STOP TALKING ABOUT MOTIVE.
That only addresses our need for funding of mental health care.
It still does not address how easy firearms are to obtain.

Didn't book mark any but CNN is where I usually read the news.

Guys, i am really not angry at any one individual on this board, my response has to do more with seeing media on cable news and on the networks spend tons of time on motive, and little to no time on access and flooded market.
It is true we need to fund mental health care, but firearms are still way too easy to obtain.

Suggestion: Be more explicit in your posts. Address them to the person/place/thing you're talking about. Some people start reading a thread at the last unread post, and that's a lock on confusion.

I eat led paint and am an ABBA fan, what do you want from me? I like shiny objects. 
In all seriousness I do try to make myself as clear as I can. I don't always do that, but I do try.
Hold on a second, got distracted, "SQUIRREL!". I am not perfect.

If you were perfect you'd be more obnoxious than you are now.

People still couldn't find out why he decided to do this?

I think the primary reason for the shooting may have been spending too much time at casinos, Brian.

It's still being investigated. The authorities may come up with something eventually, who knows at this point.
