AURORA, Colo. – James Holmes, the accused gunman in last Friday's midnight movie massacre in Colorado, mailed a notebook "full of details about how he was going to kill people" to a University of Colorado psychiatrist before the attack, but the parcel sat unopened in a mailroom for as long as a week before its discovery Monday, a law enforcement source told FoxNews.com.

I don’t know about this one, but I bought a version of this that was mostly plastic (except for the insert end) and it was a piece of crap. I threw it way - jamming jenny.

This one is a bit smaller and made of all metal with a winding knob which I like. The key is how smooth the rounds transition to the straight section.....I’d read a bunch of reviews before buying anything like it again.

My guess is that there were multiple drawings, with 1 shooter in each drawing.

The mother has come out and stated that ABC misrepresented what happened in that phone call. According to her attorney, she was awakened at 5:45 AM by a reporter asking her if she was Arlene Holmes and was she the mother of James Holmes of Aurora Colorado. She said, “Yes, you have the right person.” and then she asked why they were calling.

That scenario actually makes more sense and I don’t really think ABC has much credibility at this time. They made it sound like she was told about the massacre and that’s when she make the damning remark but she has denied that and ABC has no audio to back up their version.

I know, right? All of a sudden to support some hidden conspiracy FR believes ABC. lol
That’s rich.

Had it not been for his guns, he would have used a bomb. That would have killed hundreds.

Absolutely. He could just have easily loaded a 120 pound bomb onto a hand truck and wheeled it back into the theater through the emergency door as to do what he actually did.

Just read your last note. Yes, I have shot a 12 gauge one handed. A lot. It was in a self defense course. In fact, it was a Remington 870. A full size shotgun is much easier to shoot one handed than a shotgun with a pistol grip. More weight equals less felt recoil.

Yes, in general at any workplace, the physcial mail is now irrelevant. Nothing is sent or received through physical mail anymore (though at my last place of employment, since we did not have classified network access, the ONE thing that we used the mail for was to send and receive classified CDs.)

At my current place of employment I have no “mailbox” (that I know of), and haven’t sent or received anything in the mail, ever.

That people can generate ever-sillier additions to the Grand Conspiracy Theory from the fact the package sat in a room for a week is beyond ridiculous.

I suspect the gag order is allowing the libs to spin their own narrative to argue for gun control

I administrated a molecular biology lab at UT for years for a professor. I collected his mail every day.

I want to say that they reported his shotgun as being with a pistol-grip, but I might be wrong. I’ll check my sources.

That being said, I don’t disagree that handling a shotgun with the full stock is much easier, but after my incident with the pistol grip, I’m too timid to try it.

It probably varies by the workplace (perhaps there is more actual mail of any importance for a lawyer or doctor) but in most workplaces the physcial mail is now irrelevant.

Very little is sent or received through physical mail anymore (though at my last place of employment, since we did not have classified network access, the ONE thing that we used the mail for was to send and receive classified CDs.)

At my current place of employment I have no “mailbox” (that I know of), and haven’t sent or received anything in the mail, ever.

...it cannot be practical to commit this sort of atrocity with the armament as described by the MSM.

Why not? Hang the AR on your shoulder, stuff the pistol in your waste band and walk in with the 'gauge.

Wonder who will claim "copyright" on these materials. NBC claimed "exclusive ownership" when the Virginia Tech murderer sent them a love letter package.

I suspect part of the reason for the gag order is to try to prevent release of massive and clear evidence of Holmes’ insanity, to increase the chance of a conviction.

I don’t recall “alleged” being used by the media and political activists in reference to the Zimmerman case in Florida.

I’d have the AR on a tac-sling at my side, the pistol on a leg holster rig, the shotgun at hand with a bandolier of shells and the tac-vest loaded with 20- or 30-round mags for the AR and a few for the pistol.

There’s a difference between being a practical tactical shooter and being a shooter trying to make a point with flashy armament. Ask any grunt who spent time in the sandbox, and they’ll tell you that they’d take an AK over an AR any day given the very loose tolerances of the AK and ease of clearing a jam. Likewise, I’d rather have a Saiga or USAS12 for shotgunning than your run-of-the-mill 870.

I am, however, the type of person who would fire enough to get myself out of the situation or, if cornered, to kill. I have no illusions to mass murder.

I find it very plausible this package sat in a college mail room, undelivered to the end addressee (therefore unopened). I work in a place a lot smaller than a college, and stuff gets left laying around all the time, especially if the mail-stop is incorrect, or the addressee's name is misspelled. There may have been a duty to do something, but not if nobody knew about it.

So why would he give a warning before the events when it could have stopped him.

You got me. "Cry for Help?"

Do we need to pitch in and send them a roll of crime scene tape?

Do a search on “Happy Land dance club fire” and see just how dangerous confined spaces are with someone intent on doing harm.
