One thing seems clear, the current laws do not always prevent psycho's like Holmes (or criminals) from obtaining weapons. That said, it doesn't mean we should abandon gun laws altogther. I just don't see any meaningful reform or stepped up enforcement coming any tme soon as long as the NRA and it's followers remain so influential in Congress.

6) It's happening the government says it is not the best document in the world http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/02 ... -as-model/

Seems to me that those who wish more and more power to rule over the public would absolutely hate the Constitution and its limits. The role of the public is to rule over the Government, not the other way around. Unfortunately as the public is becoming more and more apathetic to doing for themselves the more they seem happy to let others make life choices for them.

Who needs a 100 round clip

http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/pol ... 32177.html

THIS!

I was wondering if someone posted it because if not I was going to.

Wouldn't the fact that the man bought the 6,000 rounds over a period of 60 days throw up a red flag right? That little tid-bit also tells us that he had the whole plan, that it was in fact a premeditated murder plot (also the article says he had been planning it for weeks). So shouldn't he get charged with 12 first degree murder charges and 59 attempted murder charges? Shouldn't just the 12 first degree murder charges be grounds for the electric chair?

[themadscientist]

The guy definitely needs to be dropped in a deep hole and the lid put on. I'm 100% for due process, but I think we have a preponderance of evidence and witnesses to reasonably expect a speedy trial and a guilty on all charges verdict. Screw a psyche wrap, he did the crime regardless if voices told him to do it or whatever BS he tries to claim, put him away.

Kid was an Honor student, in a PhD program for Neurology. He was withdrawing from classes before this. Wouldn't surprise me to find out this guy has $100,000+ in student loan debt, and snapped because his education is now for a career that will pay next to nothing. He had a promising future, and now all he had to look forward to is a life long struggle to pay off his student loans. Again, this is purely speculation, and I do not by any means think what he did was right. I'm just saying stress of that magnitude can make people snap.

[audtatious]

Snap judgements on why he did it are pointless right now. He's not dead and I'm sure he will make some statement that will be released at some point. Remember Gabrielle Giffords? For days the shooter was said by some media outlets to be a member of the Tea Party and GOP with attacks against Palin for "targeting" that area for votes and it had nothing to do with that at all. Similar attacks on the guy who flew his plane into a building and numerous more. There has already been one retraction by ABC (I believe) where they were associating this kid with the Tea Party because someone else in the area who did sign up happened to have the same name.

Are all criminal these bad people? And all people who have never been convicted of a crime good people? You betcha.

All criminals are bad people and all those who never got caught doing something or never arrested are good huh? You are a complete fool. For more than one reason, since you bought up the whole "good guy, bad guy" thing.

Sarcasm button needed there.

Yeah, well considering the rest of what you had to say, it was not understood very well.

Let alone the pressure from a dissertation. But even then, how bad can a person snap that it causes him to trap is own apartment? This takes a large level of planning; how long has this guy been snapped in order to set something like this up? Did the people he deals with on a day to day not realize he was a little off...

What scares me (other than his level of planning and his actions) is that he didn't kill himself. After all this craziness he wanted to get caught. He just sat in his car and waited until the police showed up. It scares me to think why he would do that.

[OriginalWheelman]

Yeah that's really messed up. He apparently thinks he's making a statement.

No death penalty?

No death penalty?

Not sure what you mean, can you elaborate?

Are you saying he wanted to get caught because there isn't the death penalty in Colorado?

Originally I was until I googled that Colorado does have the death penalty.

[themadscientist]

I'm just glad the scumbag warned the police he boobytraped the apartment. More people could have been hurt or killed had they walked in and tripped it.

[Razi]

I wonder if he has Schizophrenia.
The condition manifests itself around his age.

I predict a violent response. The community is raw right now, everyone, not just certain demographics, and these d-bags are going to pour hot sauce on a fresh wound. I expect them to get beaten this time around.

i feel there will be too. theres going to be one of those human walls there to prevent them from viewing/doing anything. like you said, hot sauce in a fresh wound.

I know this is f*** up... but at least it was really easy to get tickets to TDKR today >.>

[nissangirl74]

Yeah, that is f*** up.

[RCA]

I know this is f***ed up...

On a serious note, it has been "difficult" to get tickets? I haven't tried but when ever big movies like this come out I just go mid-day to buy midnight tickets. Usually works out.

[themadscientist]

New movies usually take so long to get to Japan I can get them on DVD at the PX by the time they land in Japanese theaters. Prometheus doesn't get here till August. Only Switzerland gets it later.

Here's a link to all the victims whose lives were shattered by the evil person.

Prometheus

Skip that

[s0m3th1ngAZ]

For such a huge release like TDKR on opening weekend? Yeah, I was expecting a lot more people in a downtown San Diego theater at 6pm. There were a total of maybe 20 people in the room.

[themadscientist]

If I was in town I would have been there. I don't live in fear. This is MY LIFE and you think you got the skills to take it from me come try.

In other news, the NRA has apparently imported right-wing malitia members to make mass staw purchases of weapons in the wake of this event. This is all I can arrive at since we all know that only whacko bloodthirsty pcychopaths bent on killing as many people as possible could ever consider a firearm as a legitimate tool for self defense.

The Aurora, Colo., theater massacre spurred fearful consumers out west to arm themselves yesterday, with some gun shop owners reporting a massive spike in business.

“The phone’s been ringing off the hook today,” said Robert Parker, owner of Parker Arms & Gunsmithing, 17 miles from the site of the rampage. “Anytime something like this happens, people are more apt to think more about wanting to protect themselves. All of those people there were just helpless.”

One hour north of Aurora at Rocky Mountain Shooter Supply, gun sales were up by about 50 percent, manager Bill Cates said.

[biggie]

Yep, everyone I know that doesn't have one, is trying to get an AR asap. I'm too poor or I would too.

Wished some laws would have already been changed, as far as no concealed weapon allowed in theatres, things could have been different I believe.

Like if someone with a CC permit with an AR started firing back and shot and missed the actual shooter and instead hit other innocent people.....

Don't play what if.
