The manager of a gun store in Mesquite said the killer had bought three guns there - a handgun and two rifles - in recent months. Paddock’s collection of guns had grown over the past year, sources said. “It’s not legal to purchase a fully automatic weapon, but it’s not that difficult to convert legal semiautomatic weapons so that they are fully automatic,” John Cohen, a former Department of Homeland Security undersecretary, told ABC News.Īlong with the 16 guns stashed in his room at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, authorities found another 18 firearms inside Paddock’s Mesquite, Nev., home, as well as explosives and several thousand rounds of ammunition. Las Vegas killer Stephen Paddock’s arsenal included several AR-15- and AK-47-style assault rifles that had been converted into fully automatic weapons with high-capacity magazines, a law-enforcement source told The Wall Street Journal. He amassed a collection of more than 34 guns, including rifles that were modified to make them capable of automatic fire - to maximize his casualty count.
