Manufacturing Tracer and Armor-Piercing Bullets Here @ His Home in Mesa Douglas Haig is "Devastated"

That's just one loaded remark made in a prepared statement outside a courthouse in Las Vegas today when the 57 year-old made a plea-bargain of guilty to charges from two years ago. He recently changed his plea from not guilty. 
That must have some deal of a plea-bargain!
Haig said in the headline statement 'he was devastated' when he learned of the tragedy and killings of 58 people - the bullets he manufactured also injured more than 850 more - at an open-air music festival two years ago: 
The deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history.

OK. Why the deal on the plea-bargain now? Mebbe what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas?
THERE'S MORE TO THE STORY THAN THIS! . . There's always more.
A full-time employed highly-paid aerospace-engineer here in just one of Mesa's booming warfare manufacturing industries who can produce hundreds of rounds of bullets in his home and no one had any idea what he was doing on-the-hush? REALLY??
. . .and the dude certainly looks creepy enough
Haig looks very creepy

> Haig acknowledged before U.S. District Judge James Mahan that he had no license to disassemble, remanufacture and reload bullets at his home workshop in Mesa, Arizona.
> Haig, an aerospace engineer, acknowledged publicly in 2018 that he sold 720 rounds of tracer ammunition to Paddock in the weeks before the massacre. Tracers illuminate the path of fired bullets.

"Doug had no indication whatsoever about Stephen Paddock's plans," his defense said
> Authorities said Haig's fingerprints were found on unfired bullets in the high-rise hotel suite from which Paddock spent more than 10 minutes firing more than 1,000 rounds into the open-air concert crowd before killing himself.
> Ammunition in the room also bore tool marks consistent with Haig's reloading equipment, prosecutors said, and Haig's address was on a box that police found near Paddock's body. Authorities have not said if ammunition made by Haig was used in the shooting ??????????????????????????????
> Prosecutor Patrick Burns filed documents to let the government keep thousands of bullets and casings seized from Haig's home, and hundreds of pounds of ammunition components
