Topic: Tannerite

An alternative theory is proposed suggesting Stephen Paddock was an illegal weapons dealer rather than a lone wolf mass murderer. The high-end weapons, stacks of ammunition, and Tannerite found in his car are framed as inventory for a "showcase" deal in his hotel suite. This theory posits that the shooting may have been a botched transaction involving ISIS representatives or a "Fast and Furious" style government sting operation, explaining the lack of a traditional suicide recording.

A letter from a former US Army psychological operations specialist discusses the tendency of foreign fighters to fire weapons improperly for cinematic effect. The hosts discuss their own experiences with firearms, including a short-lived gun range in Austin that featured exploding Tannerite targets and Mad Max-style vehicles.
