CBS News) More information about the firearms used in the deadly shooting in Aurora, Colo. during the midnight "Dark Knight Rises" screening has come to light. A law enforcement source close to the investigation told CBS News that all the guns were purchased within the last six months, which is considered a "short time to the crime."
The guns were all purchased legally between May 22 and July 6 at three Colorado gun stores.
James Holmes purchased a Smith and Wesson .233 high powered semi-automatic rifle at Gander Mountain gun store in Thornton, Colo, according to the law enforcement source. He also bought a .40 caliber Glock pistol at Gander Mountain gun store in Aurora, Colo. Another .40 caliber glock handgun and a Remington 870 shotgun were purchased at Bass Pro Shops in Denver, Colo.

Doggone heavy too.
Hot summer weekends seem to be when there is a concentration of murders.
Apparently there were none during the blizzard of Feb 2011.
YouTube. Start learning there. There's enough diversity of opinion and experience there that the blowhards will quickly become obvious to you.
Only ONE, just ONE solution. If enough people are armed this king of thing won’t happen.
Would to God more people that don't know guns were as smart as you.
It's all in the way you present yourself.
Simply act like a woman who is questioned about how many pairs of shoes she owns, and you'll be fine.
Heard that kind of nonsense all day.
I don’t think there is a “7mm” Glock. You perhaps mean a Glock that is chambered in 9mm.
“An AR-15 can be either 5.56 or .223.”
...and neither can use .233...
Yep, medication is a good lead. The dependency on meds is a sign of not being able to deal with reality and to cope with good and bad.
The Glock(s) he had were .40 cal.
If you search at Youtube as one Freeper indicated, the number 1 gun channel there is “Nutnfancy”. There are some other good presenters as well.......”Sootch00” and “Hickok45”. You should find more than enough info there for advice.
Depends—not a lot of AR-15 (civilian version) I’d use 5.56MM in. Overpressurization is a bit of an issue.
...at least she didn’t call it an assault rifle...
Just more proof that the people who write and edit this crap don’t have a dam clue about what they’re mumbling about...
It’s just simple fact checking. If he is wrong about this, what else is he wrong about.
Modern media has near zero credibility. They seem to be just mouthpieces... for who, I’m not sure.
There were almost certainly additional outside influences that exacerbated his psychosis: probably some drug use, and certainly any association with the violent, but garden-variety neurotics in OWS wouldn't have helped.
IMO the media is causing a lot of these shootings. These idiots seek the fame and glory the media gives to things like this. The media will go on endlessly about this .And the media's agenda is to take away our guns. This is why they put this story into every person's heads.
Also the U.S. has 300 million people . that number of people is incomprehensibly large to the human mind. The media cherry picks stories to brainwash us. Anybody remember the BP oil disaster? What happened to all the supposed environmental damage? There wasn't any long lasting damage nor any considerable damage but the media went on about that for months like it was the end of the world and then suddenly nothing: and Yet NO ONE questions the media about this nor about anything. The media are marxists and they are destroying this world and country.
Ya never know; it could wind up being an “And” condition, not an “Or” one. Keep dreaming, dude; don’t give up so easily! (Btw, that was funniest post I’ve read all day. Thanks.)
Just Damn, YOU ARE CORRECT!
Even a small victory is a victory. But I’m guessing she didn’t use the term because as far as I know, ASSAULT rifles are BANNED in California, so then she would have figure out how he got one and on and on.
Since when is a .223 high-powered. Did he obtain military rounds?
