if being registered on a loser needing sex website is a sign of a serial killer than goEMAW is a breeding ground for death.
-
pro tip: 2nd one is shooped.

I don't think it's photoshopped, I think it's a poster he has up on his wall behind him... notice the shadows? What kind of loser, at 24, has half naked women posters on his wall? What is he, like 12? Good luck bringing the babes back to your room dude. Be sure and hide your action figures and the classic car models you've been working on.
-
How'd they capture the guy alive? Did he surrender easily in the parking lot despite being all armed and armored up?
-
I imagine he had this all planned out in his head as going out in a hail of gunfire, but at the last minute realized he's a spineless pussy.

As I understand it he may have tried to go out to the lobby or into another theater but someone held the door shut so he decided to go back out to his car.
I'm pretty sure he didn't want to die and just wanted the fame. If you look at the top of his AFF profile, it says "Will you visit me in jail?" Look closer and you'll see that he has a small dick.
-
That makes sense. Still a little surprised that hundreds of cops in a mass hysteria situation dealing with a body-armored, armed dude who just shot up a theater, that not one panicked/fired-up cop shot him. They wouldn't have got in troubs.

Ya, I haven't heard a clear description of how it went down. I'm guessing eventually they'll release dash cam footage or security camera footage of it but who knows. They said they aren't releasing the mugshot, but don't they have to if it's an adult?

Released or not, I'm sure the creep who posted OregonHawk's mugshot will have it out within days.

According to NYPD Commissioner Raymond Kelly, the mass killer declared that “he was the Joker, enemy of Batman” after the massacre ended.
“Let’s just say he hasn’t shown any remorse,” a jail employee told the Daily News. “He thinks he’s acting in a movie.”
A released inmate said Holmes’ behavior behind bars was increasingly irrational.
“He was spitting at the door and spitting at the guards,” the inmate told The News. “He's spitting at everything. Dude was acting crazy.”
Holmes, 24, was also placed on suicide watch in solitary confinement before eating a jailhouse breakfast of grits and sausage, according to a cafeteria worker.
Two other just-released inmates said the concerns of Arapahoe Detention Center officials over Holmes’ life were well-founded.
“All the inmates were talking about killing him,” Wayne Medley, 24, said as he left the facility. “Everyone was looking for an opportunity. It’s all they could talk about.”

1. I don't know if the "looking for" part of his AFF profile is in order of preference, but the second one is "couples", so that's pretty disturbing. As if everything after it.
2. I found it funny that the AFF profile asks if you are circumcised or not.
3. What if he put a bomb inside another prisoner's stomach and is going to blow it up to escape prison?

And on that note this thread has taken an unusual turn in direction.

Didn't he come out and tell the cops "I'm the Joker." and that's why he dyed his hair orange.

What a dingbat. The joker had green hair.

No. He should be blamed because he's a murderer. The weird fetishes part is just weird.
I'm concerned that some of you seem to think being a dude and hooking up with a couple is normal behavior.

welp. this one, just.. i don't know man.. (ignore the first paragraph, we don't need to discuss that one any further.)
best part is that this fool proposed while she was at the hospital being treated for her shrapnel wound. she said yes. :facepalm:

not normal, and disturbing are 2 different things.
im concerned some of you think desire for a threesome is indicative of psychotic behavior.

There's a difference between a threesome and doing it with a couple. The main one is that you're signing up for another guy to be included.

Yes, it's pretty mumped up of this mass murderer who did his hair up like the Joker and shot up a movie theater to have maybe wanted to do a guy and a girl at the same time.

And that the guy and girl would have been a couple, yes. Agreed. Finally, some weigh in from a poster we can all agree knows a lot about ethics.

i see, so what you really find "disturbing" is gay people.
got it.

So, if you are a survivor who didn't get injured, do you go back to see how the movie ends?

i hope someone went to their hospital room and told them that batman died in the end, just to screw with them (might need to go to trim's "screw with people" thread?)

Looked pretty crazy in court but I still think the mentally ill plea has always been part of his plan.

I'd imagine it will be tough for an insanity plea with the 4 months of planning that went into it.
-
it's hard for me to imagine a sane person doing what he did. i don't care if he went crazy 4 months ago, a sane person doesn't commit the acts that this guy did. just an imo.

I never really got the whole "insanity plea" thing.

It's how you get out of crap by taking no responsibility, because your rough ridin' "crazy in the brain". Even if you aren't, they just send you to some psych ward, cause they say you are. This is how I get out of saying stupid crap all the time: "It's ok guys, it's fanning, you have to forgive him, he's a little slow". I'm actually not slow, but I'll play the card sometimes if I have too.

The whole process of determining someone "mentally insane" is sketchy.

2 things that don't exist, according to fanning:
1) mental illness
2) his bastard child

I think mental illness is real, I also think a lot of people use that for their case cause they have nothing left. I have no clue what this fucktards situation is, but after his whole act, I think even he know's that's his best card to play. "I'm insane, I think I'm the joker, I think I'm Heath Ledger back from the dead". No he doesn't, but it will help his insanity plea.

I guess I am most troubled that you can compare yourself to a mass murderer.

idk, I believe there's a line between people just being really f'ed up (orange hair guy) and mentally insane. you can claim anybody that does a mass murder 'insane', but I don't believe that's the case.

Yes, he's a perfectly sane person who hatched a plot to kill dozens of strangers under the guise of a crazy batman fan.
On the other hand, he likes to get freaky with guy-girl couples. Throw him in Arkham.
Fanning, you can probably google how insanity defenses work in real life.

Fwiw I think that the guy's bat crap crazy. I just get sick of all the insanity pleas. They're not all crazy (murderers). Some are just evil pieces of crap.

i think fanning watched the episode of Matlock where the killer pleaded insanity and so they dropped him off at a mental hospital/country club where he drank mimosas every day and played lots of golf in his spare time while grinding through his 2 week sentence.

Theres a big difference between calling yourself "The Joker" and actually thinking that you are "The Joker". I have yet to make up mind on which side of that fence I think this guy falls.
-
I read somewhere that the insanity plea ends up being a worse sentence than if you say you're sane. At least, usually you end up in a psych ward for way longer than you would be in prison, but since this guy would probably be in prison for life, who knows?

Insane or sane, he should be dead either way.

Uncommon to get these fucks alive. He needs to be studied exhaustively and invasively to figure out how it came to this.
-
Doesn't matter if he's sane or insane. He killed 12 people and attempted to kill several others. Let the rough rider loose in general population federal prison and put it on reality TV. You'll see real damn quick if he's capable of logical thought while he's trying to escape a horrible and painful death. Anyone that goes through that will never be rehabilitated, and putting it on Live TV will either have some preventative measures in creating more people like him, or you'll get some clue as to who is capable of behavior like his during the monday morning water cooler talks.

It sort of reminds me of Ed Norton in Primal Fear. Evil bastard who acts like a simpleton with a split personality and gets off scot free..
I'm not all that well versed in what is/isn't legally considered insanity. But does the fact that he was quite lucid come into play?
The well orchestrated and meticulous planning, the immediate retaining of legal counsel, the incredibly calm demeanor immediately after destroying a dozen human lives.. All of that is more unnerving to me than if he had been slobbering and shitting himself while waving around a gun. All of the mentally ill people that I've known, haven't exactly been aware of it. This guy seemed to know exactly what he was doing. I think people are sometimes capable of shutting off their humanity and performing heinous acts that I can only describe as evil.

i don't think planning shows a level of sanity. from everything that's come out so far, the guy was living in a different reality. he may very well have a mental illness that makes him believe that it is all fantasy. not all mental illnesses make a person drool on themselves.

This guy seemed to know exactly what he was doing. I think people are sometimes capable of shutting off their humanity and performing heinous acts that I can only describe as evil.
i don't think planning shows a level of sanity. from everything that's come out so far, the guy was living in a different reality. he may very well have a mental illness that makes him believe that it is all fantasy. not all mental illnesses make a person drool on themselves.
Does it shock anyone that OKC is really pushing for this guy to get off with insanity? No, I mean OKC loves death, so he's practially bff's with this guy. Sickening.
your bastard son will be shooting up a movie theater in 15 years because his daddy abandoned him. at least send a birthday card, fanning.

Don't put any money in that card though. Refuse to finance the arming of the little guy.

Yeah, fanning is not really raking in it and based upon the "my boss is trying to catch me loafing" thread and the fact that he is watching a The Hills marathon today (middle of the week), I am kind of thinking that whatever income fanning had may have dried up?

Yeah, that's what I was thinking of too. I mean, there is an active decision to be made here. Either the kid becomes a soulless murderer or he becomes an ex-heroin addicted rich alternative band leader.
Tread lightly, Fanning.

If my bastard son makes a bunch of money writing/singing a hate song about me, he owes me 50% of his earnings.

Sounds like some of you need to read Everclear's wikipedia page.
On January 4, 2005, Alexakis filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in United States Bankruptcy Court, Central District of California. According to the filing, Alexakis owed a federal tax bill for the years 1999, 2001 and 2002 of $2.75 million, as well as nearly $230,000 to the Oregon Department of Revenue and more than $120,000 in credit card debt spread over several accounts. As a result of the bankruptcy, he sold all his rights to the previous Everclear catalogue in order to pay some off.
At least fanning will be there to help his son pay off those bills.
:users:
-
Oh man, he sold his rights. That is mumped up.
Fanning, be sure to include some info on how to budget in that birthday card.

Everclear*, Sugar Ray, Gin Blossoms, Marcy Playground, etc. are playing Hartman in Wichita in a couple weeks I think.

Exactly, this dude was planning on getting shot at. He was armored to the point where any carry gun a person would be likely to have would be ineffective. Of course, he may have pissed himself and ran the instant someone started shooting back.

hey dumbfuck, so you think that some untrained chode would pull out his gun and successfully stop the shooter when there are hundreds of people running around in chaos, smoke in the air, and his/her adrenaline pumping? chances are way more likely that the dumbass hick would have shot someone who was running for their life.

What a bunch of pathetic pussies on this board.
1) If more people are carrying, then yes, I do believe the chances of this kid walking into the movies and blowing people away are reduced. Obviously, he didn't turn the gun on himself afterwards. He still wanted to live. He didn't go into the theatre with the intent of being harmed or dying.
2) True, I don't think most people would be able to effectively combat the shooter if they were carrying. However, I do feel they could effectively reduce the total loss of life. If I start popping off shots from the side and he sees me, his firepower gets aimed in my direction. Sure, I may go down, but I buy everyone a little more time to escape/evade to safety.
What are the risks? Your hero with a CC permit does take out a crowd member. It could happen, but to this date, there has yet to be a reported shooting incident where an innocent bystandard was killed by a CC holder using his weapon.

from an article about the unopened notebook he sent to the professor/pschiatrist
Both sources said the intended recipient of Holmes’ notebook was a professor who also treated patients at the psychiatry outpatient facility, located in Building 500, where the first suspicious package was delivered. It could not be verified that the psychiatrist had had previous contact with Holmes, who was a dropout from the school’s neuroscience doctoral program and had studied various mental health issues and ailments as part of his curriculum.

Reality in sitch's like this is that no change in gun policy is best. Stupid stuff happens and no matter how well you plan, you can't control stupid or insanity. So, when this happens, you feel bad, hope it doesn't happen to you, and move on. You don't lobby to legislate against insanity. Statistical outliers will always exist.

Count me as a self aware gun nut. If any of you have fired a CCW weapon you'd know it's pretty effing hard to hit a moving head sized target in the dark at much more than 5 or 10 feet away, especially when he's shooting back with a high powered semi-automatic rifle.

Nice evasion, I take from your comments that everyone should be able to arm without regulation. B/c you can't regulate against insanity, then you must let the sane choose whether they arm or not.
I do feel bad, this bad person had bigger plans with bringing down a building with innocent people as well to distract authorities as he got away. The violence displayed in this act should dealt with the most harsh penalties and I believe there should be more than just the shooter punished. Someone else knew he was at the very least capable of this, if not then what the eff is the agency known as Homeland Security cashing checks for?

You don't seem to be the best at reading. Current policy is to not let the known insane arm. Current policy is to not let everyone arm. I am saying that you shouldn't take it away and that it shouldn't be more open. Reasonable control is what is best. Reason is what is missing from people who want it all or nothing in either direction.

I am in Colorado and I don't see too many people I'd want packing heat everywhere they went.
I assume there are states where there are CC laws and we can look at stats that these people are probably not popping off shots all over town so I am not really opposed to them but to think they'd really lessen the death toll when someone like Jerry the Joker from losing his crap is not reality.
I think permits to carry should take a lot of effort to get and be really expensive though. Rich people are just more responsible.

Colorado allows CC permits, the problem is the movie theatre was designated as a gun-free zone. Those places where firearms are permissible/non-permissible needs to be vetted more thoroughly.

You can keep talking in circles and hopefully bad people don't do bad things to you. Here is your problem you wouldn't use your gun if you had it on you, to protect INNOCENT lives. But you will shoot the crap out of Bambi for fun and 12 turkeys just to have your mom buy from the store on Thanksgiving. Maybe you hit someone fleeing, but you hit the assailant hopefully stunning him, at the ver least confusing him. Maybe he leaves, maybe he aims at you at not the 10 or however many people are closer than you. You grew up with guns but still don't understand them.

True, yet we should expect these businesses to keep our safety in mind should they set this policy. Any venue that hosts a large group of people needs to provide security or allow its patrons to protect themselves.
Sporting events, concerns, clubs, etc. all do not allow firearms, but all provide security. Granted, the security isn't top notch at many places, but it is provided.

The armor was just to prevent himself from being killed. This isn't some hollywood movie where the dude just keeps firing. Someone takes a slug from a .45, even with body armor, they're going to be on the ground with the wind knocked out of them. 2 minutes response time from the cops, when someone in the crowd could have put one in him within 45 seconds. Could have saved MANY of those people.

Cops are given 1 box of shells each month to target practice with. Several of them rarely ever target practice. Those same lunatic jack asses carrying are practicing every night for scenarios exactly like this.
What I'd like you to answer is, why was this guy able to do this? The movie theatre clearly had signs in the entrance that said "NO GUNS" Perhaps they should put up a sign that reads "NO MURDERING PEOPLE" Think that would help? :dunno:
-
Let's cut through the bullshit, okay? If some one in the crowd had a gun and was accurate and willing to shoot then yes, it would have been a good thing that night. Some people would have been saved. I wish there was some one in that particular theater who had a gun. Anyone arguing otherwise is kidding themselves.
The issue, though, is that a culture wherein people habitually carry around guns to movie theaters and churches and college campuses and wherever a mass murder might next occur is probably more dangerous and definitely makes people (myself included) uneasy. I'm trying to imagine how that society might look, and I'm sure people like Heinballz and myself have two very different visions.
In my opinion I think it's extremely unhealthy for a society that encourages a sort of day-to-day individual quasi-brinksmanship/mutually assured destruction.

Let's cut through the bullshit, okay? If some one in the crowd had a gun and was accurate and willing to shoot then yes, it would have been a good thing that night. Some people would have been saved. I wish there was some one in that particular theater who had a gun. Anyone arguing otherwise is kidding themselves.
The issue, though, is that a culture wherein people habitually carry around guns to movie theaters and churches and college campuses and wherever a mass murder might next occur is probably more dangerous and definitely makes people (myself included) uneasy. I'm trying to imagine how that society might look, and I'm sure people like Heinballz and myself have two very different visions.
In my opinion I think it's extremely unhealthy for a society that encourages a sort of day-to-day individual quasi-brinksmanship/mutually assured destruction.

Not a bad idea. Those places are good cross-sections of our society.

What if everyone was forced to carry a gun? I think that would be a neat experiment.

Well they're just the other side. For every Chicago or Baltimore there is a Helena, MT or a Cody, WY. IMO, KS/Kansas City are a good middle ground between those two cultures. I will say I've never felt unsafe when I vacation up there, aside from maybe unintentionally (or intentionally) insulting some bar patron. Those are places where you can still get decked and they don't call the cops. Just take your licks and GTFO.
Anyway, people up there carry for different reasons than someone in Aurora would. I'm not saying it's safer up there because people carry guns; but it's probably safer because there aren't crazy people like in high density population areas.
-
Wait, aren't Chicago and Baltimore like 1000x bigger than the little places you mention? :dunno:

On the contrary, I agree with you totally. I think what's important is to look at the individual committing these crimes and understand no one dedicates that much effort into anything without feeling justified in their actions. Whether it's someone with no emotional connection, feeling trapped in poverty and oppressed by a war on drugs, or has identified an enemy based on foreign policy & occupation of their country. Regardless of what anyone believes, perception becomes their reality. We all effect perception but rarely will anyone accept responsibility when blow-back explodes in our face. We create terrorism, gang violence, & violent rampages then externalize it by placing blame solely on the logical target, then communicate our hatred & sometimes irrational response by assigning labels to these targets. It's not important what happens to this James Holmes dude, what's important is how we move forward - and assuring we don't create another "mentally ill" James Holmes, or "thug" or "terrorist".
The problem then lies with how realistic it is for society to change their attitude towards this type of behavior and prevent people like this from getting to this stage. It's rather utopian - and I don't think we'll ever get there. The logical alternative seems to allow people to defend themselves how they see fit. I don't trust a police officer, FBI agent, or military dude to protect my family any better than myself; I think I have a right to not rely on anyone else for my protection.
-
Also, I have traveled extensively to high density urban areas, and everyone I work with has as well. I have never, ever, heard of a circumstance where anyone needed a gun. Never. I put the population size of my sample at around 500 people, and all are extensive travelers (over 100+ nights a year).

I'm saying the guy walking around the Wal-Mart in Cody Wyoming with a .357 on his hip isn't worried about some psycho shooting up the place.

A guy walking around in Cody Wyoming with a .357 on his hip is almost certainly a HUGE nut job.

I've probably forgotten how to shoot my little handgun. Maybe I'll stop the shooting range after hoops sunday and see if I can figure it out.
Thinking about being 1/4 asleep and laid back with a pack of twizzlers on my lap last night at batman, I definitely wouldn't have been able to crap had some tard started tear gassing and machine gunning at everyone, even if I had my gun in my cargo short pockets.

All I know is Butler county is the highest percentage of people with CCL's in Kansas and I rarely hear of gun violence here.

I don't carry a gun on me at all times... but I have the option to. The only time I've carried a gun on me is traveling on vacation & stopping at rest-stops. I would not have had a gun on me in a movie theater and I would have ran like a mother rough rider.

The issue, though, is that a culture wherein people habitually carry around guns to movie theaters and churches and college campuses and wherever a mass murder might next occur is probably more dangerous and definitely makes people (myself included) uneasy.

The highest number you've cited here is Louisiana. I live in New Orleans, feel like I have a pretty good sense of its population, and there's no rough ridin' way I want everyone here carrying guns. Louisiana is a state where people have the freedom to walk around drinking open containers wherever, and whenever they want. It gets abused, and 99% of the people are shitfaced 24/7. If everyone had a gun here, it would be a complete disaster, and not just because everyone's drunk; it would be a complete disaster because everyone here's an idiot.

Here's what people don't understand. Those people you don't want to have a gun, DO HAVE A GUN. That's why it's "Conceal" and carry. You think people know when I am and am not carrying?
Can you not accept that the people that are willing to break the laws and are walking around drunk 24/7 down in Na'leans already have guns on them - illegally? You - or any other person willing to follow the law - do not have a gun. I don't think you should, because obviously you can't handle having a gun; but jesus christ, these nascar fan, natty light, red neck douchebags you're wanting to legislate ways to prevent having guns - already have them - and law abiding citizens do not.

Tons of people who commit gun crimes in New Orleans have their guns legally.

Are they carrying them legally? Because I bet not.

I really hate the "well criminals will just get their guns illegally anyway, so there's no reason to ban guns" argument. Especially since this psycho bought them all legally.
Welp, may as well make murder legal since "criminals will just do it illegally anyway"

So to the gun nut d00dz here: where do you stand on banning things like assault rifles or whatever, but keeping handguns legal? Is that a compromise you'd be willing to make?
Also, this is only tangentially related but it is super awesome so here you go. My friend went to Thailand and he went to a gun range place on some guy's farm where you can pay $50 to shoot a bazooka and an extra $50 to shoot that bazooka all the way across the field and try to hit a cow!

Please define assault rifle. Because here's a dirty little secret for you; "assault rifles" ARE illegal - but I guarantee you "assault rifles" are not legally defined how you think they are.
-
Even "assault weapons" as banned in the assault weapons ban could still be legally purchased, just no longer manufactured. He could still have legally purchased this AR-15 it just would have cost alot more.

:weirdrobert:
That sounds like a brilliant marketing scheme. Everyone that walks up pays the $50 to shoot a bazooka. Image now getting in a winding line of people that you cannot see the end of. After 20 minutes of slowly making your way up and trying to contain your boner every time you here a bazooka being shot, you come to a Y in road. There is a guy there who says, while pointing to the branch of the Y that has nobody in it, "You can go that way to shoot a bazooka," and then while pointing to the line in the other branch, "or, you can pay an extra $50 and shoot that bazooka at a cow. What's it gonna be?"
You've waited this long, you have completely forgotten about already paying them $50. There is no way you don't pay the extra $50 and shoot at that cow. No way.
Also, no compromise on assault rifles. That entire argument is just the anti-gun crowd trying to boil a frog alive.

is an AR-15 an assault rifle? honest question.

You can buy them at Cabela's.

At my house, I have a .22 under my bed, and my brother has a 12 gauge in his closet. That said, when the 2nd amendment was written, the revolver hadn't been invented. I enjoy hunting and do it several times a year, but that said, the gun lobby is ridiculous. In 1791, if you needed to protect your house and family from some government entity, be it our own, or the British, or whoever, with your rifle you might have been able to. Currently that isn't even in the picture, IDGAF how many assault rifles you have. The only people I know who have concealed carry permits, I would rather they didn't, and it certainly doesn't make me feel safer that they do.

Technically, it is not an assault rifle, which must be fully auto. It is an assault weapon though....
thanks wikipedia.

You're missing the point entirely. These liberal douchebags that everyone is begging to ban assault rifles don't know crap about guns. The legislature does not define what determines an assault rifle in accordance with the internal mechanism. They defined it by literally going through a gun catalog and listing them by name according to what "looked" like a scary gun. So essentially, when assault rifles were made illegal, if you had a .22 caliber rifle, dressed up to look like an M16, it would have been made illegal. On top of that, the law reads the guns by name, which doesn't prevent a gun maker from simply changing the name of their gun.
Knowing this, what exactly makes an AR-15 an assault rifle? Aesthetics? Because mechanically, there really isn't much difference between an AR-15 and a high powered hand gun with a high capacity clip. People hear the word assault rifle and think of a gun that performs like a military issue gun - when in fact you CANNOT purchase a weapon that performs like a military issue. Everyone is going ape-crap about the 100 round drum, but honestly a .45 hand gun & 10 loaded clips with hollow pointed rounds strapped to your belt would have a more reliable performance, and be a crap load more dangerous. Not to mention, he started this whole assault with a rough ridin' shot gun. Exactly WHAT are you going to prevent this guy from doing? Banning the purchase of ALL guns? Dudes rough ridin' crazy - strict gun laws don't prevent crazy.

8manpick, you are not missing the point entirely despite what HeinzBalls says. Seems like you get it and take a rational approach to all of this. "But the second amendment!" "Uhhhhh, the revolver didn't exist when the second amendment was invented." <---nice work.
Also, you know what would've saved more lives in the Aurora movie theater than concealed carry?

You could make something from the contents out of the avg Home Depot that, if used inside a theater, would kill large quantities of people. Should we ban hardware?
Also, maybe if everyone was thoroughly trained on hardware store weaponry and given a Home Depot card with low interest rate, we would all be safer?
The question is, are you man enough to use your Home Depot card in such a way to draw the other Home Depot card guy's attention long enough so that everyone else can get away?

Crazies gon' crazy, that won't change. I'm confident that most people on this board could create a high powered explosive in under a week. Those things also have legitimate uses. Assault rifles have no legitimate use for civilians in society.

Don't be gaytarded.
Imagine the civil unrest it would create if an American (local, state, federal) government forcibly entered, skirmished with, killed/wounded, people that were living 100% legal lives. Imagine if that same government dropped a rough ridin' bomb on someone's house.
FTR, I believe private citizens should be able to own just about whatever weapon they can afford to own, be it howitzers or tanks or whatever. The government should fear us.

But what's the point? Unless you can explain to me how an "assault rifle" is more dangerous than a high powered hand gun with a high capacity clip? How is this going to make anyone more safe in these instances? In fact MORE people lived because he switched to the AR. If he would have had another shot gun or a few more clips for his handgun instead of the AR, he could have killed MANY more. Anyone that disputes that needs to look into what an AR-15 is capable of doing, then compare to a high performance round you can buy for your average handgun.

I can't explain why it is more dangerous, so we probably shouldn't have high-powered handguns with high capacity clips either. What are they good for other than killing people? Seeing how close you can get to the middle of a target? Getting your rocks off 'cause you're a tough guy shooting a gun?

You know what they're good for? Killing people. That's all they're good for, and that's all they'll ever be good for. Will removing ALL guns ever prevent someone from Killing? No.
There will always be some dude, bigger than you, faster than you, stronger than you. There will always be greed. There will always be corruption. There will always be crime. There will always be innocent people dieing for no reason. IF society is what you're interested in changing, I suggest you focus on the reasons why one might become mentally ill or turn to gang violence or become a terrorist. Because removing guns from the equation will not stop mentally illness, gangs or terrorist thriving within greed & corruption. If you remove guns, you remove perfectly sane, rational, & intelligent peoples ability to protect themselves from the BTK's of the world.
It's as simple as this, if you were being stalked by a deranged person capable of performing the most grotesque forms of torture on you or your loved ones, would you post a sign in front of your house stating "this is a gun free zone" ?
If you think it's irrational to go to preventative measures for a disaster that occurs at a very small percentage and likely will never effect you, then why do you have smoke detectors in your house?

No, at my house I would use my 12 gauge to protect myself and my family. The problem is that high-capacity/automatic/assault rifles/whatever are basically good for shooting sprees and not much else. An "assault rifle" isn't preventing any crime, it is either used for fun, or to commit crimes. I obviously don't think the preventative measures are irrational, I have a gun and smoke detectors in my house. I do not believe that all guns are preventative measures.

A handgun holds what 8-12 rounds?
AR-15 holds 30 and you can shoot them as fast as your finger can pull the trigger, with a laser guide. One time I shot one at turtles in a pond, it was great.

I have a 9mm that holds 15 in the clip and 1 in the barrel. 8 clips are more reliable than a 100 round drum - as they're extremely likely to jam.

Emo, I agree that the government should fear us, but I don't think that is plausible at this point. It's a fantasy.
It's as simple as this, if you were being stalked by a deranged person capable of performing the most grotesque forms of torture on you or your loved ones, would you post a sign in front of your house stating "this is a gun free zone" ?
If you think it's irrational to go to preventative measures for a disaster that occurs at a very small percentage and likely will never effect you, then why do you have smoke detectors in your house?
No, at my house I would use my 12 gauge to protect myself and my family. The problem is that high-capacity/automatic/assault rifles/whatever are basically good for shooting sprees and not much else. An "assault rifle" isn't preventing any crime, it is either used for fun, or to commit crimes. I obviously don't think the preventative measures are irrational, I have a gun and smoke detectors in my house. I do not believe that all guns are preventative measures.
So you're arguing that a shotgun is okay because it can also be used for hunting, while a semi-automatic rifle that aestheticly looks dangerous, yet technically isn't much different than something you would shoot a deer with should be illegal... Yet your preferred method of killing people (home defense) is the same as the aurora killers preferred weapon, a shot gun.
Why do you refuse to acknowledge that the real issue here is mental illness and not guns?

A handgun holds what 8-12 rounds?
AR-15 holds 30 and you can shoot them as fast as your finger can pull the trigger, with a laser guide. One time I shot one at turtles in a pond, it was great.
I have a 9mm that holds 15 in the clip and 1 in the barrel. 8 clips are more reliable than a 100 round drum - as they're extremely likely to jam.

I haven't read the detailed reports, but I'm near 99% certain the AR our shooter was carrying was not full automatic (since he legally procured the weapon). Everyone here seems to think all assault rifles are capable of shooting full automatic. Most states don't allow the purchase of full auto ARs; only semi-automatic (like a handgun as HB has pointed out numerous times). Those states that do allow the purchase of a full auto AR make it extremely expensive.
A semi-automatic AR is just a more accurate handgun that fires smaller rounds, yet more prone to mechanical failure.
We would have been better off if this moron did have a full auto AR. Most individuals can't shoot for crap on full auto. After the 3rd or 4th round, your aim is usually sky high.

Pretty sure no one thinks he had a full auto AR. Everyone knows it was legally purchased. A rifle is much more powerful than a handgun. His 100rd drum jammed. Full auto would have been way worse (except for maybe jamming sooner). He doesnt have to be accurate spamming a sold out movie theater.

I'm not getting my point across very well apparently. No one with a shotgun or assault rifle is stopping the Aurora shootings because no one is taking one into a theater unless it is to go on a shooting rampage. I guess I don't see the point of "assault rifles" being available to anyone. Please, explain the usefulness of these for anything but target practice.
I don't think guns are the issue. I don't think all guns should be banned. I am pro-concealed carry being legal, despite the two morons I know that have it. I think some common sense should be applied. I see no need for anyone outside the military to have access to many of the high-powered weapons.
Also, I disagree with the automatic mental illness label on all mass shooters. I think there are just some very bad people out there. Bad people are going to do bad things. If they do bad things with reduced firepower, the things they do will have less bad consequences.

Not sure about the ar15 specifically, but lack of 100-round clips seems to be one way.

That hundred round clip saved lives. They are extremely susceptible to jamming, which is exactly what happened. More people would have been killed if he had 5 more clips for his hand gun or another shot gun. Not to mention assault rifles are not for close range; it's more of a "keep people off my property from 100 yard range" type gun.

I haven't read this crapfest of a thread and I fully realize that guns aren't going anywhere here in the good old USofA, but obviously guns make it far, far easier to kill far more people in a short period of time (i.e., mass murder) than any other means available outside of say the use of an explosive device.

Agreed, people are going to kill no matter what. The point I've tried to make in this thread is a bomb would have been far more devastating and I've been trying to find out what guns actually killed the victims. Here's what I know according to the reports. He started with the 12 gauge shot gun, at least two of the 12 killed were shot by the 12 gauge - he then pulled a .40 hand gun with a high capacity clip that held 40 rounds - then he pulled out the AR, last, which jammed. All anyone can talk about is the AR and im not convinced it actually was any more deadly than the other two guns.
If you're trying to prevent stuff like this, taking particular guns away from anyone will not solve anything - and all it does is take rights away from people that will not break the law. Identifying crazy people seems a lot more logical.

I'm making the statement that it is no more dangerous than any other gun, which is entirely different than less dangerous. Look if you get shot by anything in a vital area, you're likely to die. The only logical conclusion anti gun people can come to then is to get rid of all guns, including shotguns, which I might point out you can get in semi-automatic and altered to hold several rounds. If you're going to go down that rabbit hole, you have to start asking yourself questions about home made bombs; not to mention all guns world wide will never disappear. What happens when some Riley Rat goes AWOL and starts blasting people in downtown manhattan with his government issued m16? I have to ask you what you're trying to accomplish by restricting guns? Making people safer, or taking people's ability to protect themselves away? If your concern is for the safety of society, your time would be better spent creating a world where guns are not needed - not eliminating guns.

This one isn't about assault rifles, but it does involve a Chicago man potentially being prosecuted after it was discovered he owned a gun (which is illegal in Chicago) when he killed a bugler who had shot at him.

I read an article the other day that talked about how when the constitution was amended to include the right to form a militia and have guns and whatnot, semi-automatic weapons weren't invented yet and the only "arms" with which they were familiar were super clunky, inaccurate muskets that could only get a round off like, once every minute and a half. I hadn't ever really thought of that.
Question: What if the framers didn't even have AR-15s in mind when they talked about forming a militia and carrying guns and stuff?
Answer: Boy IDK, but either way I vote to outlaw every gun besides those muskets if for no other reason than it'd be hilarious.
-
Question: what's the difference between a guy with a 1 shot musket vs. an unarmed man and a guy with an AR15 vs an unarmed man?
Answer: absolutely nothing.

2. That's kind of irrelevant.
So is any argument made after someone states that the 2nd amendment was for self protection and implying that a newly formed republic that had just liberated themselves from a tyrannical government would prohibit their citizens from owning anything that could efficiently prevent a future tyrannical government from ruling their lives.
Lol at thinking the constitution is about anything but protecting the PEOPLE'S rights.

I think I see your point.
Do you think it sounds maybe a little bit crazy in 2012 for people to buy guns in order to defend themselves against a hypothetical future tyrannical government?
I would think so. After typing it all out, it sounds a little bit crazy to me.

There is no good reason for a private citizen to have a semi-auto weapon.
There is no good reason to think taking them away will change anything.

Just consider a few statistics: Five years before the D.C. Council banned nearly all firearms in 1976, the District’s murder rate fell from 37 to 27 per 100,000 people. In the five years after 1976, the murder rate rose to 35 per 100,000 people. Between 1976 and 1991, the D.C. homicide rate rose 200 percent. The national homicide rate during the same 15-year period rose just 12 percent.

You know, this term assault rifle keeps being thrown out there - which I'm guilty of myself... But seriously, no one has yet to make a clear distinction as to exactly what makes a gun an assault weapon?
Can someone anti-assault weapon please clarify?

I understand that criminals who plan out crimes will still take their guns with them and all, but I don't really think people with concealed carry licenses are going to go out and stop those crimes. The only thing that is accomplished by allowing concealed carry, imo, is facilitating "crimes of passion" and other retaliatory killings that would not have otherwise occurred if we didn't allow nut jobs to tuck their pistol into their pants everywhere they go.

What about the people that aren't nut jobs? Why should they not be able to protect themselves? And really, you don't think CCL has stopped any crimes? If you're suggesting it's not publicized in the media I agree, but that doesn't negate those events from actually happening. How else would you explain that in the decade since the year 2000, violent crime rates fell by 20 percent; aggravated assault by 22 percent; motor vehicle theft by 42 percent; murder – by all weapons – by 13 percent? I also find it odd that events such as Aurora Colorado always occur in places that have "No Concealed Carry Allowed" signs plastered all over the front doors.
Do you not think people that would commit a crime of passion are not already carrying - illegally? Even if they aren't - I doubt they could cool off quicker than going home & grabbing a gun.
Look, people that have a CCL want to keep their CCL. There are educated on what is and isn't legal and they are not about to do something stupid and lose their CCL. The people you're talking about, were already carrying before CCL was around. Are you aware that Open carry is legal in many states? Do you have a problem with that?
The way I see it, you're either A: Eliminate ALL guns (handguns/shotguns/rifles/etc.) or B: Do not restrict Gun rights in any manor. I feel very strongly that eliminating all guns would be extremely impossible, highly short sighted, & very ineffective. Gun restrictions in any kind don't seem to achieve much either - Look at Chicago.

Why would a man who would commit a crime of passion be carrying a firearm illegally? He's not planning the crime, so why would he be carrying around a gun that if he gets caught with, would cost him a heavy fine or jail time?
I certainly wouldn't attribute reduced crime rates to concealed carry laws. I don't have a problem with open carry because that allows me to see who the nut jobs are and steer clear.

Here are a few examples, HeinBallz.
When Mario Little walked in on his girlfriend having sexual relations with another man, he threw her face through the sink. That was horrible and could have killed her, but had he been carrying a concealed firearm, he very well could have pulled it out and shot both her and the dude.
If George Zimmerman is not carrying a concealed firearm, both he and Trayvon Martin are still alive.
If any of Trim's chokeout victims are carrying a concealed weapon, Trim is probably no longer with us.

Every gun owner I know was carrying before CCL's came about. The ones that weren't nut jobs got a CCL - the others didn't want to spend the $100 for the class or let the 'gubment know they had a gun for when Obama announced martial law and they came to take everyone's guns. Aside from that, who really gives a eff about crimes of passion? What are you trying to achieve? World Peace?

I don't know Trim personally, but judging from his bbs persona, he is probably skilled enough to choke out someone then disarm them without a shot being fired... also, Trim is probably choking out the type of dude that wouldn't get a CCL for fear that Obama is going to put him on a terrorist list.

Almost all gun owners that I know simply keep them in a safe in their house and only remove them if they have some reason to protect themselves or if they are going hunting. I only know a few people who are frightened of the world enough to carry around a gun with no intention of using it, and those people all have concealed carry licenses. I don't know anybody who carries around a concealed weapon without a license, and I would quickly disassociate myself from anybody who does.

That's probably true in most cities. I have only carried twice since I got a CCL 2 years ago - both were while I was on vacation driving through areas that had crime rates higher than average or where black bears may be around. I don't know anyone that carries at all times. If I met someone, I would assume they were paranoid... not crazy. There's a huge difference.

And why would you hear about it? It's not exactly national news when someone prevents a crime from happening. No one watches the news to hear about someone "Almost" getting raped or "Almost" getting murdered. People want drama. Unless it's a six year old, or a Labrador retriever stopping a crime, there's no sensationalized story that can be sold.

Anyway, I'm off work and going home. Maybe I'll do a quick google search for you later to show you some instances where a CCL holder actually stopped a crime. I bet it's happened more often than Aurora Colorado type incidents.

They are literally a dozen or more stories, every month, in the NRA magazine. Albeit some are home-invasion type stuff, I'm happy to provide details if you'd like.

Everyone knows that faces are completely rough ridin' symetrical, and the left ear always always always matches up identically to the right ear, so comparing this left ear from picture 1 and this right ear from picture 2 tells me that these two pictures are of a different person... except for the picture in the middle where the clearly same dude has asymmetrical ears...wait... eff... The nose!!! Look at the Nose! Ones thin & the other isn't! That's it! Clearly a different person!

I would like to know the percentage of gun-related crimes committed by people with a CCL in CCL states. Is that info available HB?
How the eff should I know?
Let's have a google contest though, my fellow gun nuts and I will look for instances of CCL's stopping a crime and the anti-gun nuts can look for instances where a person with a CCL accidentally/purposely shot someone or broke the law. The handicap will be the mostly liberal media jumping all over a reason to ban guns and not covering CCL saves. Ready... GO!

There appears to be thousands more on that site, but before I waste any more time, I thought I'd see what you could find. I was skipping all of the home invasion ones... I only posted the "gun-nut" carrying out in public ones - but I encourage you to double check my work.
You know what I did notice in every story I read though? Every one involved someone deserving to rough ridin' get shot - alot of them I wish would have been killed instead of just being wounded and later hauled off to jail. But be sure to watch this last one below - speaks perfectly to why the 2nd amendment is extremely relevant.

Yeah I want my guns for protection only.
Against the oppressive police state that lies ahead for my generation. :goodbyecruelworld:

fail. People like to kill - they often use guns because guns are good at killing people - banning guns will not prevent people from wanting to kill - some people kill people that need to be killed, such as people that like to kill - guns are useful for this - until people stop wanting to kill - or people that need to be killed cease to exist - removing guns would be counterproductive.
The challenge was to find CCL people (you know those that obey the law) - committing crimes. Try again. GO!

That's the dumbest thing I've ever seen.
"Hey guys! Everyone knows that faces are completely rough ridin' symetrical, and the left ear always always always matches up identically to the right ear, so comparing this left ear from picture 1 and this right ear from picture 2 tells me that these two pictures are of a different person... except for the picture in the middle where the clearly same dude has asymmetrical ears...wait... eff... The nose!!! Look at the Nose! Ones thin & the other isn't! That's it! Clearly a different person! Except in one picture he's smiling and sometimes the muscles in your face cause an involuntary nostril flair and in the other picture he's frowning and trying to look crazy... wait... eff."
Yeah, it's pretty ridiculous. Not to mention that he's looking directly at the camera in the middle pic and his head is tilted and he has a weird facial expression in his crazy pic. This analysis must have been performed by a birther.

Pic on the left looks like Two-Face .
Yeah, he could pull Two Face off much better than the Joker. Maybe he should start going with that.
In a theater, that would have been a lot of coin flips. I mean, enough to nullify this gun argument. I mean, you just get up and walk out the first time he drops the coin.

He could have just done one coin flip before he started spraying, though. And that coin could have saved a whole lot more lives than his 100 round clip did ( :D ). My point was that he's a really shitty joker moreso than that he's a good two face, anyway. He's a much better two face than joker.

A summary of my thoughts - and if you're passionate about gun control, I would suggest you come to some sort of conclusion and form a rebuttal on this, my last argument. Several studies found linkages between violent death rates and socio-economic development, demonstrating that homicide rates are higher wherever income disparity, extreme poverty, and hunger are high.
Separating the stats of methodology used in violent death does not address the above causes of violence. The argument “guns don’t kill people, people Kill people” while irritating, and factually incorrect as guns do indeed kill people – The theme behind this statement merely points out that removing the method of violent crimes, does not remove the tendency to commit violent crimes. Gun control advocates are quick to point out that violent crimes committed with guns are abnormally high in the United States and ask for some explanation. My only response is we have the least restrictive gun laws in the world and guns are widely available; as stated above, guns are effective tools for killing. Seems like a victory for advocating for gun control, but I then ask you to please explain this study: www.genevadeclaration.org/fileadmin/docs/GBAV2/GBAV2011-Fig-2.3-complete.pdf
Why if the United states has the highest rate of gun deaths, do we not even show up on a list of countries with high rates of violent deaths? Are we to expect that if the popular method of violent crimes are removed, that violent crimes would also disappear? What correlation do you see between the list of countries linked above? Is it possible that addressing issues of income disparity, extreme poverty, and hunger would go farther to stopping not only gun deaths, but all violent deaths? What tools would individuals resort to if guns were not available? Would instances such as Aurora Colorado have been worse if a bomb was used? How would tighter gun control stop Oklahoma City type bombings? Could guns play some part in preventing violent crimes from taking place? To answer that question, I invite you to spend time here: https://www.usconcealedcarry.com/category/ccm-departments/true-stories/
Next on the agenda; Assault weapons. The common theme seems to be “no one needs assault weapons” I would ask you what defines an assault weapon? High capacity? Can be obtained in most hand-guns; up to 40 rounds. High power? Most hunting rifles are consider high powered and can be expanded to have higher capacity. Rate of fire? Fully automatic weapons have been HIGHLY regulated since 1934 and purchasing one requires multiple identity checks, costly permits, and extreme laws pertaining to transportation – licensing and selling which are all punishable as federal offenses if not followed correctly; gun control enthusiast already won that battle. Semi-automatic? Everything from a handgun, to shotgun & even high powered rifle can be purchased or modified to be semi-automatic. The honest truth is what defines an assault weapon is the behind intent of the user. An individual may choose to assault someone with a shotgun, while one individual may defend themselves with an “assault rifle”. Picking and choosing what guns to restrict leads you down that dangerous rabbit hole of eliminating all guns leaving individuals defenseless against the violent crimes that, based on my above argument, are sure to still be rampant. I do think it’s important to point out that James Holmes likely killed more people with the shot-gun & hand gun combined than he did with his AR-15; as he started first with the shotgun – unloading as little as 6 rounds – possibly more, switched to the hand gun unloading 40 rounds in one clip & finally went to the AR-15 where fortunately his gun jammed before getting off all 100 rounds. What would preventing the sales or ownership of any weapon - stopped? He was intent on assaulting – and any available weapon could have been chosen.
The sad truth behind all of this, is we as society, need guns. We need them to protect ourselves from tyranny. We need them to protect ourselves from violence. We need them to protect ourselves from our protectors. Until the military, the police, & homeland security lay down their guns – I would suggest you keep the right to have one.

I own an AR-15 and multiple hand guns and have a CCL does this make me a nut bag? I own these guns because they are fun and enjoyable for me to shoot not because I am afraid of everybody including the government. Are the practical? No, but I could argue that neither is owning a Corvette. Some people like to play video games some people like to shoot firearms. To each their own.

Dr. Drew was a guest on the Adam Carolla Show (podcast) on 7/29/2012 and they talked about this for a while. Was pretty interesting and didn't focus so much on gun control as it did the need for better mental health measures, assessments, supports, etc. You can get it free from the iTunes store if you're interested. Interesting listening for anyone regardless of where you fall in the gun debate. (I think they start talking about it, like, halfway through the episode or something.)

I own an AR-15 and multiple hand guns and have a CCL does this make me a nut bag?
No, not unless you are carrying your guns with you everywhere you go because you are worried you might need them for protection.

Probably, but if the articles have cool pictures, it could be worth everyone's time.

it must really be terrible to live in constant fear. t's & p's to gun nuts, hopefully you can get some sort of professional therapy or something to really dig out the root of your fear (other than black people).

This is why I need to actually meet some of you guys and hang out. You all now have an image of me that is entirely inaccurate. For each of you that I've disagreed with in this thread, I will buy you a beer (or hard lemonade) of your choice at the next fattyfest.

It's a real weird thing. Part of the reason I'm scared to Pak is 'cause, like, I argue and am real mean online to people in the Dunning-Kruger Dome sometime, and.....what if they remember how I said mean things to them in whatever thread however many months ago? And also it's like....are they thinking the same thing? :ohno: Bet it ultimately would be pretty fun. Even tough I do agree that HeinzBalls has definitely used a gun as a fake wiener a time or two. :D
And grenades as balls????

Grenades as balls would be rough ridin' awesome.
But no, I love all of you guys and would never want to hurt or have negative feelings towards any of you...
But that god damned fanning. :shakesfist:

Fitz would love this thread.

I own multiple guns and have a CCL as well. Mainly because of hunting, hiking, and recreation. I definitely don't carry all the time, nor feel like I have to. If you're around guns at all, CCL's are good to have, though. It's not a horrible thing to carry every now and then.
In terms of gun control, I honestly think the main thing that needs to happen is more mandatory education prior to gun ownership. Things like the assault weapons ban are asinine. Banning a pistol grip or a telescoping stock do nothing for safety.
That said, that is definitely not the same guy. Someone needs to get on this ASAP.
-
For the CCL guys: what makes you wake up and decide that today is a good day to take the 9mm to the coffee shop with you? Gut feeling? Accessorizing with new jeans/boots? Stiff neck from nights sleep and need slight weight pulling down on that side of the shoulder to keep alignment in check?
-
I mainly use it when hiking and protection from animals. It's common to do here. I've actually had to use it once. As for around town or whatever, I only carry it when I go to ghetto places at certain times of day.

Not sure where you are, but I know that many parks / forest areas prohibit firearms, as do many (most?) businesses. What do CCL people do when they are carrying, and come upon a place that does not allow it? I mean, if it is a business that has a "no guns" sign, I realize that it isn't a law and they could only kick you out / ban you / whatever. Just curious.

Have wondered this as well. Also ew2x4, where do you live? PM if you don't wanna 'nnounce it.

Colorado. Almost all parks and forests allow firearms. It's legal to shoot in national forest. The only place in those areas it's not legal to carry is in government buildings. For example, in Yellowstone, you can carry anywhere you go, except for the government owned buildings. Also, you're not able to shoot within 200 feet of a road. There's a lot of other guide lines when it comes to actual shooting.
A lot of businesses in fact don't prohibit firearms. Businesses have every right to not allow them, though. People carrying should just leave it in the car. Obviously there are places like schools and hospitals where they shouldn't even be on the premises though.

I only carry when I'm on vacation or hiking/hunting. Why vacation you ask? When I'm going to be making several stops at several locations - I prefer not to fly. And driving around Vegas or LA with Kansas Plates may draw attention to yourself.

so there's like these escaped robbers or whatever from the county jail. they are trying to steal a truck or something from our house. my dad hears them and comes at them with his gun. they freak out and slam into a bunch of other trucks and then flip the truck over and run into a field. they get one of those infrared camera airplane deals to fly over them and they arrest them again.

you're watching a very darkly lit movie in a dark theater. suddenly, someone throws some sort of smoking device into the crowd, and gun-fire erupts. you scramble for safety while clawing your way through the chaos. do you know which way is north, south, east, west, up or down? probably not. did you just see another smoke device? maybe! or maybe not. Was it from a different direction? Maybe! Maybe not.
there wasn't a second person in on it, dumbass.

I guess I should have looked first - I assumed that since I heard about Aurora within the hour from everyone on facebook - not to mention the cries for gun control from liberal friends almost immediately - that it was more publicized. goEMAW was the first I've heard of this recent one; What did this guy use - Had to be something crazy - less populated area than a movie theatre, wounded 30 people, killing 7. Must have been like an M16 or something, right?

LOL @ HeinzBalls using this latest tragedy as some sort of reason that guns are awesome. (Or maybe that's not what you're doing, I really have no idea how to read that last post.)

I don't think that's what he was doing. I think this was in relation to his point that "assault weapons" is kind of a stupid term, since this particular shooter used a handgun, and not an "assault rifle" or whatever, and yet still wounded 30 people and killed 7.
And also, this is getting pub all over the place.

I don't think anybody is saying that, other than in your head. The study I linked only shows that keeping your gun at home makes you much less likely to get killed by gunfire. The odds of that happening are ridiculously low, regardless.

HB, is your position that without guns, there would be more total murders even though there would be a reduction of body counts in sensational mass murder situations? Greater good and all? I can see that being an argument.

No. No one is saying that. But people ARE saying guns like AR-15's need to be eliminated. I posed the question, "What would that accomplish?" We have an ignorant white supremacist killing what he perceives as Muslims... where does gun control factor in there? If he didn't have a hand gun - what would he have used? His car? A bomb? A knife?
As for your study - I didn't even read it. Even IF it had taken into account how many crimes are stopped because of legal carry, which I doubt it did, scientific data is always biased when it is reported. I can pull studies night and day showing where carrying a gun makes you safer - just as you can pull studies night and day showing guns are hazardous.
So it all comes down to this statement, which was one of the first statements I posted: If your concern is for the safety of society, your time would be better spent not taking away guns, but creating a world where guns are not needed.

Maybe he was just a little buzzed? Perfectly legal.
Kansas allows its permit holders to drink while carrying a concealed weapon, so long as they are not legally intoxicated, under the state’s Personal and Family Protection Act, enacted in 2006.

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/04/01/holmes-court-appearance-today/2041881/ (http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/04/01/holmes-court-appearance-today/2041881/)
CENTENNIAL, COLO. - Arapahoe County prosecutors will seek the death penalty against graduate school dropout James Holmes, accused of first-degree murder in the July 2012 deaths of 12 Aurora movie theater goers.
At a court hearing Monday, George Brauchler, Arapahoe County's District Attorney, formally rejected a defense bid that Holmes plead guilty in exchange for a life sentence without parole. Holmes faces an August trial for killing 12. Nearly 70 others were wounded or injured while fleeing. Judge William Slyvester entered a not guilty plea on Holmes' behalf last month.
"In this case, for James Egan Holmes, justice is death," Brauchler said, after explained his office has spoken with more than 800 victims and their families.
Holmes showed no visible reaction to the announcement, but his parents clasped hands and then embraced.
Holmes' court appointed attorneys said in a court filing last week that their guilty plea offer could have ended prolonged legal maneuvering. "Mr. Holmes is currently willing to resolve the case to bring the proceedings to a speedy and definite conclusion for all involved," Holmes' lawyers said in their motion.
Without such a deal, public defenders Daniel King and Tamara Brady said that an insanity defense virtually a lock. They've said repeatedly at prior hearings that Holmes, who dropped out of a University of Colorado neuroscience doctoral program after failing a final exam in May, suffers from mental illness. Holmes, 25, was undergoing psychiatric care before dropping out in May.
In a response to the filing, Brauchler said that the plea offer was a "unusual and unprecedented" and done as a publicity ploy that violates Judge William Sylvester's standing gag order on the case.
Legal experts say without a plea deal, an insanity defense may be Holmes' only legal recourse. At his January preliminary hearing, prosecutors presented seeming overwhelming evidence that showed Holmes methodically planning his July 20 attack at Aurora's Century 16 theater complex, buying an assault rifle, shotgun, two semi-automatic pistols, over 6,000 rounds of ammunition, bomb-making material and other gear for nearly two months prior to shootings.
Photos from his cellphone showed he had staked out the rear of the theater and exit doors before the shootings. Aurora police arrested Holmes in the rear of the theater parking lot minutes after the shootings.

Like I don't disagree that he should die, but he's crazy, right? And we (as a country) don't believe in capital punishment for the insane, right? But we do when it's convenient, right?

I don't think we should every use capital punishment.

Ok, I guess baby steps. He's insane, right? I think that's pretty evident.

He very well could be but there was extensive planning that went into his actions.
-
Sure. But like crazy people that are capable of planning we can execute? Just seems like a hypocritical deal.
-
He deserves to die a miserable death
-
Totally agree.
-
Insanity in the eyes of the law is different than what most people would consider insane. Clearly this Holmes character is mentally unstable, but all the planning and thought that he put into the act shows he was not insane in the eyes of the law. Essentially it shows he understood the actions he was taking and appreciated what he was doing. There are several different insanity that different states use, but you get the gist of it.
-
they need to sentence him to a laboratory where they study him and do invasive experiments and figure out exactly why this happened
-
our insanity laws are frickin nuts, man!
-
Why would we be against killing insane people that meticulously planned the murders of several people? Because they are insane? Pfft. Silly argument.

Do you think killing him has any deterrent value? Most of these guys off themselves anyway. A lifetime in a lab being poked and prodded might be more punitive.

I don't really think it is a deterrent, but then again I'm not real high on the death penalty to begin with.

Okay. So like full steam ahead with killing him, but let's not pretend we're occupying the high moral ground.

Remind me again what the cost difference is between the injection and putting up a criminal for life?
IIRC, the injection is way more expensive than you'd think.

I think if you murder someone, that they should be killed the same way as they murdered. Eye-for-an-eye!

The five grams of sodium thiopental apparently cost the state some $351.10
there are tons and tons of costs other than the drug itself, but i was curious about the drug.

It'll take 10 years to kill him probably. All the while attorneys are doing stuff. Gets expensive.

My whole thought on the death penalty is that if there is any chance that someone could be killed who is innocent it is not an ok avenue to go down. I think we can all agree that an innocent person being killed is certainly a possibility and therefore I don't think the death penalty should be used.

Some situations, no that is not a possibility though. There is such a thing as 100% stone cold lock- guilty

So you want to trust the same government that has trouble building bridges that resist the force of gravity or figuring out how to move around pieces of paper without losing boatloads of money to figure out which ones are 100% stone cold locks?
If the only cause to take a person's life, is that they murdered an innocent, and we the people execute a single, just one, innocent person, then we are all hypocrites.

no, denied, murdering one innocent is nowhere close to murdering a ton of people in a movie theater

No argument there, but the point is you're still, by having a death penalty, assuming the risk that you will be directly responsible for executing an innocent person.

I don't even care if the person murdered like 1000 people on camera, admitted to the crime, and laughed about it in court. I don't want him getting the death penalty. Life is enough.

Yeah, I get why some people support it, but I just can't support forcibly killing an unarmed person who has already surrendered and has spent the last 10 years or so living in a jail cell. It's not like life in prison with no parole would be some walk in the park for a killer, either. I mean, what would you ever have to look forward to?

It may be human nature to "want it" but that doesn't mean he (or I) couldn't choose to rise above "human nature" and not support murdering another person. Just like you rise above "human nature" and don't act on your urges to eff everything that walks.

Anyway, plenty of attorneys and career police don't believe in the DP just because it takes too long and is too expensive, more expensive than life incarceration.

Opportunity allows capital punishment in many states now. Opportunity doesn't allow the average male to have his way with everything that walks. Also, I would argue that it isn't human nature to eff everything that walks and that there is much more to it than what your simplistic example provides and therefore is a shitty comparison that can't be used adequately they way you are trying.

Say the prisoner fashioned some form of a weapon (like a shiv) and started attacking people with it. I would be okay with one of the guards shooting him in that situation to spare other lives.

Wanting to have sex with people is more a part human nature than wanting to kill someone via an opportunity created by a government entity. I mainly take issue with you telling people how they would/should react in a situation as if they can't help it.

It has shown to not be much of a deterrent. That said, after the fact, I think those in prison for life would chose to continue that way rather than getting the needle. Most, anyway.

I am just addressing raw emotion. Most ppl don't have control during raw emotion and such a loss, as the one I described, creates the type of emotion that many have a very hard time processing. The heart wants what the heart wants.
Also, I don't think the urge for sex is stronger than the urge for revenge for such an extreme act, however I am not a Psychiatrist.

I don't think that there aren't things a person can do that are terrible enough to warrant their own demise. I just think that no man-made system could ever be doubtless enough to handle the task. And if even one person is unjustly executed, that makes us all murders and hypocrites.

Part of the punishment should be it's deterrent value.
Anyway, plenty of attorneys and career police don't believe in the DP just because it takes too long and is too expensive, more expensive than life incarceration.
Does death really provide a greater deterrent than life without parole, though? You die in prison either way.
I think the fact that people often plea down to life as evidence that it is a deterrent. Probably marginal, though.
Why do people do awful things and then kill themselves? I think because doing prison or DP is worse than dying right there.

Because they don't want to be beaten and raped in prison

I bet Belcher could have handled himself just fine. :dunno:

In that case, the person went ahead and committed the crime knowing that the death penalty was a possibility. They were just fortunate enough to be offered a plea deal. I see it as kind of a wash, myself. I'm sure life in prison is much more appealing than the death penalty once you get acclimated to that lifestyle, but it just seems unimaginably awful to me.

I've seen enough Lockup on MSNBC to know I'd rather die than spend my life in prison

Opportunity allows capital punishment in many states now. Opportunity doesn't allow the average male to have his way with everything that walks. Also, I would argue that it isn't human nature to eff everything that walks and that there is much more to it than what your simplistic example provides and therefore is a shitty comparison that can't be used adequately they way you are trying.
Wanting to have sex with people is more a part human nature than wanting to kill someone via an opportunity created by a government entity. I mainly take issue with you telling people how they would/should react in a situation as if they can't help it.
I am just addressing raw emotion. Most ppl don't have control during raw emotion and such a loss, as the one I described, creates the type of emotion that many have a very hard time processing. The heart wants what the heart wants.
Also, I don't think the urge for sex is stronger than the urge for revenge for such an extreme act, however I am not a Psychiatrist.
you may have a point if it was in the heat of the moment (like you were there when it happened), but I don't think it applies to a long investigation and trial. They are so new to humans that instinct gets thrown out the window. (Read the article KK shared in the God thread)
