Any word on the killer's background? Odd that someone who can pass two background checks decided to steal a car and shoot some cops. Same goes for the guy in Thornton, no news on how he passed his dual background checks and decided to kill someone.
The media jumped all over the nutcase in Highlands Ranch and how he got his guns, but nothing with these other two so far.
Stolen car, warrant, drugs, etc... POS doesn't need a reason. Some exist only to kill, steal, and destroy.Quote:

Glad the criminal will be 6 foot under and not milking tax payers for the rest of his life.Quote:

Ohhh, so they were criminals already living a criminal type life... Man, I wonder how they passed those two background checks to get their guns? The dems made me pay for an extra background check last time I purchased a gun, wonder why these guys were exempt?Quote:

I don't remember the off the top of my head what they were attempting to contact him for immediately prior to the shooting other than a disturbance. It is my understanding that he is a felon and was illegally in possession of a weapon.Quote:

Guys, my point is simply that the media will not do a story on how these killers got their guns unless it came from some gunshow type thing. Our background checks are not working, as criminals clearly obtain their weapons without getting a BGC done.
I am waiting for some legislator in Denver to try and push some gun control thing in light of these 3 sad situations. Yet the media will not point out that these killers don't follow any law that would be created. I am sure I am preaching to the choir here...
Sorry, I don't know you well enough to read your sarcasm in this type of threadQuote:
