Mass shooting at Century 16 in Aurora

They're going to use the situation to create new legislation regardless of how he came into possession of the firearms he used. If he had purchased them FTF, they'd be fighting for background checks for all sales.

The guns were all purchased from Gander Mtn and Bass Pro in the past 6 months.

It honestly doesn't matter where he got the guns. Just like a person who buys marijuana illegally. They will find it not matter the legality. What should have been reported is his mental state either by parents or friends. At least then some involvement in his life could have been witnessed to hopefully see something to avoid this tragedy.

It's still an option in Utah. It should be here too. a $.50 round is much cheaper than the other options.

No. No, its not. UT still has firing squad on the books, but it was removed for any future executions when they brought in the needle. Only those on death row before lethal injection was brought in had the option to choose it as a method. They used to have hanging too. It also left the table when they brought in lethal injection. The last firing squad execution a few years back was the last one.

Based on national averages, 274 people died today due to alcohol, about 100 of them killed by a drunk person, more than three times that number were sexually assaulted.

No bottle of booze nor sexual organ ever prevented a murder...but firearms help prevent death every day...think about it.

Attention media! THIS!! ^^^^^^^^^
I have had to show a firearm once to diffuse a life threatening situation. Not a shot was fired but the attackers quit attacking, turned and ran. I also have a friend in Nevada who used a firearm to save his life when someone high on meth broke into his home and attacked him. Such defensive use of firearms is almost never reported by the media. Have you non-Colorado types heard of Jeanne Assam? I thought not.

Her last blog entry was about that. She actually got a "funny" feeling and left the food court three minutes before the shooting occurred. There's a good article on Deadspin about it.

So if you add up the $ for the guns, the ammo, the body armour, etc etc comes cloe to 20K, where did the $$ come from?

My guess is he used his school loan money.

I wish that would have compelled her to get a CCW. How poetic would it have been for her to drop him dead after the first shot or two. This whole situation is so sad.
