Hi, this is Alonzo Bowden, and I want to welcome you to episode 197 on my podcast. Who's Paying Attention? Wow,

coming up on 200, which I guess is pretty good. Anyway, I feel like a late night AM radio

talk host. Like it's midnight. I'm here by myself just talking to whoever is listening.

It's kind of a cool vibe.

I wish I had all cool shit to say, but, well, you can't say shit.

So I guess I'm not a late night radio host, AM radio.

Look, remember?

Eh, anyway.

So, another mass shooting.

I haven't been on since it happened. By now, we've all, we all know the details. We've been through it repeatedly. Stephen Paddock unloaded from a window in Mandalay Bay overlooking a country music festival, killed 58 people, wounded 489 people,

just absolutely horrible again. And we will do nothing, by the way. We as a society,

our Congress, laws, et cetera.

Nothing will be done.

Nothing will be changed.

He used a thing called a bumpstock, which I talked to a friend who's into guns.

And it sort of, basically uses the recoil of the gun to fire the trigger, to pull the trigger.

And it converts a semi-automatic where you have to pull the trigger to shoot, not quite to a fully automatic, but it sure increases the rate of fire. And this is what this guy used. I don't know, he had somewhat 10 or 20 guns in the hotel room with him. He, um, you know, he shot through the door to security guard.

He had cameras set up so he could see him coming.

He obviously planned this thing out.

Nobody knows yet what his motives were.

Uh, he was a lone wolf.

He was a lone wolf, which is code.
