Staged just in time for a vote on the UN small arms treaty?

More and more, this shooting is looking like a deliberate plot staged by the government itself much like Operation Fast and Furious pulled off by the ATF

I said the exact same thing last night. Today, I'm even more convinced, as details about the extent of the murderer's armory become known.

The question hangs in the air. How does an unemployed college student afford to purchase $20,000 of high tech weaponry, protective military garb, and bomb making equipment?

Answer: someone funded this heinous atrocity for a reason.

Hey, Bitch, how come Chicago has any gun violence. Guns are illegal in Chicago. And I bet not one murder in Chicago this year has been committed by ‘legal’ fire arms.

If Chicago allowed CCW, allowed law abiding citizens to be armed, the murder rate from gun violence would likely go down...and rather quickly. So, Bitch, stick that in you Commie pipe and smoke it...

Chicago...the perfect example of what is wrong with the Commie Left’s kind of Gun Control..

Ban spoons, restaurants, trans-fats, 16 ounce sodas....

Wait, we already did! Reality meets sarcasm.

Intent turns any object into an instrument of death. Shove an iPhone down someones throat far enough they’ll die. Piano wire. Plain old hammer or screwdriver. Tire iron. Candlestick. Paperweight to the temple. Electric device tossed into the tub. Car. Sharp stick. Baseball bat. Carving knife.

It is all about intent.

“Actually, we need to get serious about banning leftists, Progressive Liberals, Statists and Communists from America, that should resolve this problem quite nicely.”

...and Rino’s...especially those bent on being President.

One thing that always suprises me about the gun grabbers is the suggestion that making guns illegal will prevent people from getting guns. Haven't they made many different types of drugs illegal? How good of a job has the government done in keeping them out of the country and out of people hands?

They can't keep drugs out of peoples hands, but they will be able to keep guns out of peoples hands if they are made illegal.

Must be an example of liberal logic at its finest.

And here is the sequel to yesterday’s Mike Adams story...

Why did no one fight back? Questions linger over James Holmes Batman movie theater shooting

This article is worth the read...

It should hopefully be obvious at this point that the police cannot protect you. Calling 911 is about as useless as crossing your fingers and hoping you won’t die. And that’s even if 911 answers, because 911 services are easily taken offline even by wind storms (as we saw recently in Washington D.C.). If you cannot protect yourself and your family, you’re not ready for what’s coming, I believe. Get prepared. Get some skills. Practice to the point of proficiency. DECIDE TO SURVIVE rather than surrendering to violence.

The answer is to eliminate people. People kill people.

An armed people is a polite people.

Courtesy is not fluffy. Courtesy came to be as a practice upon one knight meeting another on a road. Both were ‘courteous’ toward each other as long as they were both armed.

The corrupt0crats have been after our “as long as” 2A for a long time. The definition of “as long as” is time-bound, and 0bama is running out of time. Small Arms Treaty and UN seizure of guns coming up. You know, with Iran leading the UN security council......

The gun grabbers are at it again.

Perhaps the more interesting pieces of this should be on 1) his point of entry being open/opened, and 2) the gas canister.

I agree, however, Romney was already included in that list as a Liberal Progressive as his record so clearly shows:

She’s right. Every law abiding citizen should be issued a gun and ammo.

There should be a license required to not carry a gun for the protection of onesself and fellow citizens.

...how about checking where Mr. James E. Holmes got the $6000/7000.00 to purchase his guns, ammunition and SWAT attire.

Occam's razor suggests the simple answer might be "student loans". He knew he wouldn't be going back for his PHD.

“And EVERY law-abiding citizen should be taught gun-safety and how to shoot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

-And that really is the point we should be driving home. It should be our patriotic duty to be competent with firearms, and for those who can CCW SHOULD be armed at all times, in order to avoid such theater tragedies.

Clearly, ‘gun free zones’ are jokes that evil exploits. We are making it way too easy for evil to slaughter us by deluding ourselves that being a disarmed victim in the face of evil is somehow noble or wiser than actually fighting back against evil.
