This case is made in an entirely different manner than other mass shootings. In all the others there was some factor to point at. Mental illness, associations to rhetoric, group membership or some associated fanaticism. Not here, this is aimed only at the firearms, deliberately so.
Now, if this is the action of one methodical man, which Paddock is reported to be, that is believable by most. If it is the result of a concert of men that will be concealed as its revelation would color the political message. Even if the government, or elements of the government did not act to create this message they may find it useful. Even if it is not a message fabricated by them it may well be that they do not want to allow it to be colored in any way. Like finding a $100 bill on the sidewalk, the last thing you would do is tear it in half, and you do not seek who dropped it.
