According to some expert being interviewed by Geo. Stephanopoulous on GMA, this shooting motive can be classed as,
1) Spectacle, because of the sheer numbers being murdered that is accomplished by large numbers of people within an enclosed space. The fact his terrorist ideology seems to contradict, there is still the common denominator to strike against USA.
And,
2) That the "closet gay" possibility ties into the timing that coincides with Ramadan. He frequented gay sites on the web and even would go to Pulse, with his wife.
The theory is he would be releasing his ex-Taliban father's shame and his own (homosexual feelings) somehow by relating his targeting of gays and dealing out their death, by being committed during this holy time of the year for Muslims. Something to do with the gates of Hell being closed and Heaven, being open? I do think that terrorists often put symbolic meanings on dates and/or time periods that are chosen for attacks. For instance, I have always felt there was never a random coincidence that the World Trade Center attacks happened on 9/11.
While his wife is said to have tried to talk him out of his killing spree, it also appears she did nothing to stop him. I would hate to be her.

"That's the key, they tell us, 'We can't beat ISIL unless we call them radical Islamist.' What exactly would using this label accomplish? What exactly would it change? Would it make ISIL less committed to trying to kill Americans? Would it bring in more allies? Is there a military strategy that is served by this? The answer is none of the above. Calling a threat by a different name does not make it go away. This is a political distraction…Not once has an adviser of mine said, 'If we use that phrase, we're going to turn this whole thing around.' It's a political talking point. It's not a strategy. And the reason I am careful about how I describe this threat has nothing to do with political correctness and everything to do with defeating extremism.""We now have proposals from the presumptive Republican nominee for president of the United States to bar all Muslims from entering the United States. To bar all Muslims from emigrating to America. We hear language that singles out immigrants and suggests entire religious communities are complicit in violence. Where does this stop?... These are not religious warriors. They are thugs and they are thieves."

but it's misdirected. He should be asking himself....'where do * I * stop; stop importing an invading cult of sadistic insurgents which are murdering American civilians?'

I'm glad they're reflecting, just sad that it took so many lives to start understanding that hateful rhetoric can sometimes lead to such violent acts. Better late...?

The AR-15 is the most talked about gun in America.
But the AR-15's creator died before the weapon became a popular hit and his family has never spoken out.
Until now.
"Our father, Eugene Stoner, designed the AR-15 and subsequent M-16 as a military weapon to give our soldiers an advantage over the AK-47," the Stoner family told NBC News late Wednesday. "He died long before any mass shootings occurred. But, we do think he would have been horrified and sickened as anyone, if not more by these events."

Very interesting to learn this! It boggles my mind to think everyday people think they need this type of weapon "to feel safe". So, they have a right to insist they can only feel safe alone in their homes hanging on to this weapon, and every enclosed public place instead becomes someone's easy target, so no one feels safe.
