People were asking for a response, and he gave one... so fuck you, it wasn't him just doing it for shits and giggles. It's only political at all because gun control has distinct sides in politics most of the time.Adam Jensen said:
I do have to offer this, though. Does it not scare you that anyone with this mentality can just casually spend $6000+ on weapons, ammo, and body armor... including an AR-15 equivalent with a 100 round mag, and no one selling it to him in the state of CO didn't see it as potentially odd behavior?
I think it's pretty safe to assume that had he not been able to buy the semi-automatic rifle, less people would've died. I think that's safe to assume, right? The only valid excuse people have for owning a gun this lethal is usually 'it's fun to shoot'. Which pretty much puts you on par with the shooter's mentality, doesn't it? As long as YOU didn't shoot the baby then it's not a problem... right?
So yes, I do have a problem with someone justifying the purchase of automatic weapons to defend themselves against people like James Holmes because he's allowed to purchase automatic weapons. Funny how the problem is also the solution, eh? When your only justification is a logical paradox, you have issues.
One doesn't have to be psychic to predict the obvious, but those crazy theories that you have anticipated have indeed been placed on offer almost to the letter.portal_cat said:

I kinda think it was that "killing people with guns and armor" thing that gave him away, but who knows?samaugsch said:
What a heinous incident. Just goes to show that you can never tell who is harboring murderous madness within them. (Shooting up a Batman premiere? FOR WHAT?) If only this could've been foreseen or prevented...
My heart goes out to the victims, I'll never comprehend what drives people to such violence against innocent people.
You know whats the best part about these shootings? The state of web afterwards. Aside from the glorious raving and ranting there's also the lovable sociopaths and their little jests. In the interest of not getting flamed I will refrain from posting them here. (Although I admit giggling for a few of them)
On eeh... Topic? Even if they banned guns from U.S. government could not remove the guns already in circulation in our lifetime. And the "Man" trying to get guns away from people whose motto is "from my cold, dead hands" is just asking for a freaking bloodbath.

that's a live update of new information. Here is a quote:
"A law enforcement source said two of the guns used in the attack were purchased at a Bass Pro Shop in Denver, while the two others were bought at separate Gander Mountain Guns outlets in the area. Investigators also found a drum magazine, capable of carrying 100 rounds of ammunition, which was attached to the AR-15 rifle, two law enforcement officials said."
Okay i wasn't meaning to state it as fact. I was just saying it was "something I had heard." Which it was. I never implied it was fact as i explicitly said, "I'm not sure." Also if you take a look at the above link it does mention two weapons were bought at Gander Mountain. Also, the police chief is the one i heard say "assault rifle". That quote is also in the link above. I don't know a lot about guns, so I just took what the police chief said. Honestly I don't care if it was an "assault rifle" or not. I was just using the general term everyone was referring to it as.
Actually, this is where CNN mentions calling it "assault rifle". Again, I don't really care if it is or not. http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2012/07/20/theater-shooting-gunman-just-firing-picking-random-people/?iref=allsearch
Okay, I wasn't sure if it was or not. I was just using the term I heard the police chief used. So your issue is with him. I don't know that about the AR-15. Thanks
Umm, maybe you could like, ban guns that are designed exclusively for killing people from the general public. And also maybe stop being dumbasses when it comes to weapons and hunting.
Here's a transcript from this very site's forums from about last year.
OP: "I need a new hunting rifle, should I get an AR15 or an AK47"
Someone Else: "AK"
Me: "Both of those weapons are inappropriate for hunting, the caliber and bullet velocity is higher than you need, and they're less accurate than a bolt action. Those weapons are exclusively for military purposes, and are unsuited to hunting animals anyway."
At this point they begin to flame me. I really need to say this to the entirety of the United States of America. You should not have guns, because retards shouldn't be allowed to have guns. If you can't tell the difference between a good hunting rifle and a combat weapon, you are a retard, and massacres are what happens when you give retards assault rifles. #tag port arthur

You don't need to be mentally insane to be a sociopath. He just seems to me like a smug person with a god-complex. Ah well, I am not qualified to make a real psychological report of him, so I will trust that to better minds.Saltyk said:
There is no need to police everyone, you can't be like Ubisoft with it's DRM, that punishes the majority, because of a few rotten apples with piracy tendencies. It doesn't work in real life.

I'll tell you this:
If just two or three people in that theater were armed, and went through the proper training...there would probably be a LOT less bodies.
The only thing strict gun control laws do is disarm LAW FOLLOWING CITIZENS.
IF a crazy person or a scum bag wants a weapon, they-will-find-a-way-to-get-it.
NORMAL PEOPLE DON'T DO CRAP LIKE THIS.
It's childish to think that 'banning all the guns' will stop criminals, or prevent massacres.

lol, this, very simply.Glass Joe said:
killers are going to kill, gun or not, so let's stop them from being killers in the first place.
I heard that the mother said she "knew" this was going to happen, apparently knowing that her son was kind of twisted... why the fuck didn't she get him help?
I'ts pretty obvious he was inspired by The Dark Knight (my favorite movie mind you) and no one seems to be condemning film. Watch, if it was CoD or something then we'd hear no end to the "evils of videogames" report #345607533.
Am I the only one who thinks this ************ was influenced by the terrorist who attacked Norway?
