Shooting at Denver theater during new Batman movie.

[Guest rebeldrummer]

Reported on Fox that all 4 guns legally bought at various Gander Mountain and Bass Pro stores. Didn't catch timeframe.

Obviously, money wasn't an object if buying there.

GOOD POINT

[Mike.357]

Wonder how he came about such popular weapons and all the armor he had. No way he prepared all that alone imo.

hardly too much for one guy to put together. I seriously doubt he was a poor, struggling financially college kid. In med school? Family surely had some money. Even if not, college kids have credit cards. Not hard at all to buy several thousand dollars worth of gear on visa or M/C.

I am a poor SOB and have way more firepower than this guy had. Money is not an obsticle.

It's sad how both sides rush to politicize this.

[Guest Revelator]

I understand the terror and fright that would come over you in this situation, the absolute primal need to just GTFO, but I hope if it's ever me and I can't get out, that I do something. If I'm carrying, look for a clean shot. If not, get physical. Mass shooters always have to take time to reload. I read where this guy started with the shotgun, emptied that, then unslung the AR from his back. That would have been several seconds where he was busy, probably not looking around, and didn't have a loaded weapon in his hand. Enough time to rush him and try and take him down. Easier said than done, I know, but something to think about.

Normally it is one side trying to pin it on the other without facts. Not sure who on the right is politicizing this.

I had my moment of silence with Obama. Once Mayor Doucheberg flapped his skinny lips, it was on. It's really been flying on Facebook (you knew that)

I see that Bloomberg isn't wasting any time on this one. He is the Mayor of a city that has nothing to do with where this took place. I think the Mayor of Aurora should tell him to mind his own effing business and worry about his own deteriorating sh*thole.

[Sidinman]

As OS said the weapons were all bought leaglly. Two from a Bas Pro Shop the other two from two separte Gander Mtns. They said all bought in the past 6 mons. One of the witnesses said the AR had a drum mag.

I think both sides would be wise to not try and politicize this. I don't think American's really want to hear about gun control or anything politically motivated after this.

[gun sane]

My nagging question is: Why would a nutcase who kills 12 and wounds dozens more let the police know that his crib is booby trapped? You'd think he'd be more than happy to let them walk into a big surprise.

Attention?

[Ramjo]

Strange how he picked one of each firearm category to use, two of which are hot on the medias list. Why not just bring the AR and several mags if killing people was his goal? Instead, he spread it all out among the AR15, 870, and Glock40....

[Guest rebeldrummer]

Attention?

BECAUSE SHOOTING PEOPLE WASNT ENOUGH??!!

[Oh Shoot]

You're gonna debate a lunatic's logic process?

Hell, he didn't even dye his hair the right color.

I hardly think this was political, Ramjo. Not saying you're wrong, but I really don't think the goal was to push another weapons ban.

[zapfbroad]

phil valentine 99.7wtn show talking about how the theater chain posting gun free zone invites criminals

[Jesse]

I read he told the police he was the Joker, now they just said he is being booked into a jail and he isnt coorperating with the police.

BWAHAHAHAHA

[jcoosi]

Yeah I heard a guy ranting about I am a hunter and I have a closet full of rifles and none of them have hi-cap "clips".

Look he came with 4 guns hicap mags or not he intended on shooting a good bit.

[Symbolic]

It definitely sounds like the shooter had a personal breakdown because he had a great future ahead of him and just gave up on it for this stupid stunt. Luckily, more people weren't killed or injured, but ABC (I think) reported that this is the worst mass shooting in US history. It makes sense that more people weren't killed or injured because this guy sounds like he was new to shooting, having bought all his weapons within 6 months. A movie theater is a small space and to me seems like a certain death trap when it's sold-out.

[Guest CCI]

Newt and Jesse Jackson are going to appear on CNN, to give their views on what politicians can/should do on gun control!

[Guest drv2fst]

So apparently New York is uping thier movie theater security.I wonder why is that since I thought no one had guns in New York.

Movie theaters sell large sized sugary beverages and we all know how much the Bloomberg hates those.

[Oh Shoot]

...but ABC (I think) reported that this is the worst mass shooting in US history...

Depends on how you define it. Many more killed at Virginia Tech, not as many shot overall, off top of my head.

Not going to be watching that.
