Demand for guns in Colorado jumps in wake of movie massacre | Fox News There are already a LOT of carriers here. I just can't help but shake the thought that Holmes passed a background check just fine. But you don't conceal carry an assault rifle, I guess.

WASHINGTON (CBSDC/AP) - James Holmes, the alleged gunman in the recent theater shooting that left 12 dead in Aurora, Colo., was previously awarded a $26,000 federal grant.

Victim's Brother To MSNBC: Families Not Here To Talk About Gun Control Michael Eric Dyson, guest host on MSNBC's Ed Show: Do you think that there should be a push for tighter gun laws given the horror that you just endured and how it has impacted you personally? Do you feel compelled to push for tighter gun laws? Jordan Ghawi, brother of victim Jessica Ghawi: Here's the thing, we can try to politicize this and make some sort of polarizing debate and make this a tenet of the election, but that's not what we're here to do right now. We're here to celebrate the lives of the victims that have been lost. If somebody wants to do harm to somebody, they're going to find a way to do it. Whether it be with a weapon, such as a rifle or whether it be with any sort of means we should actually start to think about why people are doing this. And the reason why they're doing this is because they want their names out there. Victim's Brother To MSNBC: Families Not Here To Talk About Gun Control | RealClearPolitics
Correct. I don't think an armed citizen, barring military training, was putting a stop to this looney tune. I also think it's absurd to use this as an argument either for or against tighter gun control.
Very good answer from Jordan. He also should have knocked his teeth out for trying to get him to use his sister's death as support for his political agenda.
Agreed. No class in asking a victim's family member about that. I think it's fair to look at things that could be done to prevent such a tragedy, but it's not right to engage a victim's relative about it. I could support some legislation limiting the amount of ammo you can simply order off of the Internet. Holmes apparently just ordered 3000 rounds of ammo as easy as buying a pair of shoes. It shouldnt be that easy.

Usually there are at least some signs you realize you should have noticed after the fact. I really don't know what could have prevented this.
There is a greater chance that Holmes is a patsy ala LHO then just a complete nut job who acted on his own accord.
