Funny, the media keeps focusing on what he purchased legally. What about the incendiary devices, explosives, aerial bombs, improvised pyrotechnics, etc. the police claim to have found in his apartment. None of that stuff can be purchased legally or possessed in weaponized form by the average law abiding citizen in Colorado those prohibitions seemed to have worked so well.
Think just how great an idea it would be to ban flammables and household chemicals that might be converted to evil use. Sorry, I forgot, Bloomberg is already working on that.
Blaming the violent person just doesn’t fit the template.
I was wondering about that too. Granted, the media folks wouldn't know a mortar bomb from a dildo, but I'm still having trouble believing that a med student would even know how to lay hands on that stuff let alone rig booby traps so complex that the police were flummoxed for hours by it.
