Who’d a thought that being a student would pay so well? That’s some expensive artillery.

Just needed some Second Amendment folks in the theater, imho.

Where is the “massive arsenal”? That sounds like what is normally in my trunk on any given day.

I’m not accepting this story at face value. There are too many oddities.

>>through the internet he purchased over 6,000 rounds of ammunition,

So what? If I hadn’t lost all my guns, magazines, and ammo in a boating accident two years ago, I’d have more ammo than that.

Yah beat me to it. Great minds and all that rot. lol

Was thinking the same thing. How does a student manage to come up with the loot to buy all that hardware and don't know what kind of car he was driving, but it was not a Klunker either?

Financial Aid and Student Loans?

Even then, when I was in college (having availed myself to both as well as working 2 jobs and that was many moons ago) I was not exactly rolling in it and lived very frugally.

Steer Manure.

He didnt have a “massive” arsenal. He had a FEW firearms. A couple of handguns, a rifle and a shot gun. Everyone of my friends is similarly equipped, several times over.

6,000 rounds is possibly adequate for a summar of training for a father and son. Given the fluctuation in ammo pricing thanks to O, one buys when the price is right. That reminds me: i am getting low on 5.56 NATO.

My thoughts too. He was unemployed receiving unemployment payments. How could he afford so much ammo and so many fine weapons? AR-15s ain't cheap.

So how is Colorado supposed to “tighten” gun laws?
Refuse gun or ammo sales to 24 year old medical students with no police record? He obviously took advantage of existing laws.

So what new laws would have stymied a closet perv psycho with mass murder plans?

My question still is WEAPONS TRAINING.
He HAD to have gotten it, at some point in his life

Who says he paid for it? If he ordered by credit card knowing what he was going to do, how’re the card companies going to collect?

Good point. It is becoming obvious that this guy is no ordinary mentally deranged individual, but part of an orchestrated event. Everything points to this all being deliberately done to point to this event as a reason for confiscation. And, the media is going to allow it to happen because they won't do their jobs.

Someone has already pointed out that his meek surrender seems very odd after shooting 71 people. A lot of valid questions are going unanswered and something is VERY strange about all of this.

You know that’s what I would like to know, if this kid was out of work or was working part time at McDonald’s where did he get the money? That just doesn’t seem right, at all.

Anyone hear about the Ft. Hood shooter lately? Murdered people several years ago in an action of domestic Islamic terrorism, killed a baby, and his name stays largely out of the news while his lawyer keeps playing the “postpone” game.
