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.

Wonder what set him off earlier in May to prompt him to plan this?
Nevermind the guns, but where did he get the supposedly regulated law enforcement clothing?
...By Any Means Necessary...
WOW what a report, what is a .233? does that go along with the reports of the tea partier that did it. good job journalist
/s off
These are not all the wepons he had, police chief said he had an AR-15
So where did he buy all the SWAT gear (full body armor) and tear gas canister?
and where and when did he train in using the weapons and the tear gas equipment? You dont just go buy this stuff, load up, put on a gas mask, and go shoot 71 people in the dark
Drugs.
Oh the media is focusing on guns now. This guy must have some leftist affiliation they’re all trying to not discuss.
12 dead is a tragedy.
But it is a typical weekend in Chicago.
And, whether he might have taken meds as a child or teen.
A ct scan for brain tumors might be worth doing, but for some reason, mostly I suspect meds.

I assume it was a .223 Poor stenography by the scribblers.
Something was way off long before he bought any guns. He believed one lie, upon another lie, upon another until he devises a plan and that’s when guns come in.
Not like a home owner who buys to protect him/family from harm but he buys to cause harm.
That is an AR-15.
Very generic term...
OK!
OK!
But it is a typical weekend in Chicago.
POST OF THE DAY
SADLY NOT BEING VOICED ON THE MSM
Good point!
weekend after weekend!
A Smith & Wesson M&P15 .223 Rifle
could be described as a AR-15.
The Chief probabably was describing the S&W rifle generically as an AR15. Just like these days everthing else seems to be called an AK47.
It's rumored he has OWS and Black-Bloc connections.
Maybe there is some truth to those rumors after all....??
