I guess this means we need to ratify the United Nations small arms treaty huh?

This was exactly the very first thought that went through my mind when I heard this news this morning.

Obama needed his crisis, and now he has it. This treaty will flow through the Senate with little more than a peep. They'll parade the victims out on national news outlets and call any Senator refusing to ratify the treaty as cold and callous.

Hopefully the facts on this are out soon so a bunch on conspiracy theories don't get started.
Just the facts whatever they are. Whatever it is; it is evil. Just a question of what flavor.

It didn’t get reported anywhere he was Indian...just rumors and misinformation that always occurs during these type of tragedies.

I can easily blame Moslems for a terrible event even if they actually have absolutely nothing to do with it.

Because the don’t deserve any protection whatsoever, to give them safe harbor a fraction of an inch emboldens them only stronger.

Great catch!

According to CBS, one of the weapons was an AK-47 assault rifle.

*sigh*

Where's that "Journalist's Guide to Guns" graphic that's always paraded out during these sorts of events?

The MSM, and ESPECIALLY CBS, wouldn't know an AK-47 from a Daisy.

On KHOW radio here in Denver they just reported that the suspect’s mother is being interviewed by ABC news and is saying that “you have the right guy”, and she is flying to Denver as soon as possible. Sounds like she wasn’t surprised that this happened, for whatever that’s worth at the moment.

"What no middle name?"

"Lee" would probably be a safe bet.

If the bodies are still in the theatre, the gas must be very, very serious.
