CO. Movie House Attack

[Perd Hapley]

This is why the tide of gun grabbing will go unabated. Because the gunnies can't stop bickering amongst themselves

Actually, we're doing pretty well lately. I think we can grouse about these little things without upsetting the whole movement. Just relax.

I guess I should have put a winkey smiley in my post

Everyone lay off the semantics debate, or start (yet) another thread. Please.  We're all on the same side here, and people are getting worked up over (at least in this topic) a non-issue.  We've had numerous debates about it all over the internet, and it very rarely does anyone any good.

I come here for intelligent discussion, not bickering.  I have other fora for that.  

Not owning a TV myself, what was discussed/revealed at the arraignment?

Agreed.

I didn't see the arraignment or the Obama address. Anybody feel like recapping them for us?

It's now being reported by Fox that the 223 ammo he had was armor piercing. Any other reports on this?

*snort* If that's true I'd like to know his source for M995. I have never seen a single round of black-tip 5.56mm, even when I was in Afghanistan, let alone here in Aurora. Most likely the standard M855 green tip heavy ball you can get most anywhere as cheap(ish) plinking ammo.

Probably plain vanilla 5.56 NATO M855 ammo (62 grain FMJ's with steel penetrator)  Officially it's not AP, but I wouldn't even blame MSNBC or ABC for getting that wrong:  http://wideners.com/itemdetail.cfm?item_id=100000476

Gun sales have jumped 40% in Colorado. From the way the article reads, it's not people buying EBRs or any "it might get banned" stuff. Looks like most if it is CCW related. As would be expected, the comments are interesting. I like seeing that more and more people are using the "fire extinguisher" analogy for having a personal protection weapon.

I have 8 rounds of it, I bought two bags of 8 for 15 dollars or so around 2000 (before I had an AR) at a gun show in Reno, gave half to a friend when he bought his first AR. I sold my AR but kept the 8 rounds.

You know, Obama the other day said, "Yeah, my daughters, they go to movies. What if they'd been in that theater?"  Well, let me answer that.  If Obama's daughters had been in the theater, there would have been Secret Service agents in there.  At the first sign this guy pulled a weapon he'd-a been dropped by the Secret Service. The results would have been quite different.

Did the authorities get a "heads up"?

Interesting story on AP. The letter/package he sent was turned over to police before the shooting.
The judge has placed a gag order on the case.

I too missed the Obama arraignment.
It is important to not allow the antis to go unchallenged when they make up definitions of words, especially when they clearly do not know what it actually means and are only saying things because it sounds scary. Shoulder thing that goes up anyone?
Did you all know we have been at half-staff for this?

[280plus]

Yes I did and I questioned it myself.

Makes you wonder why the nation isn't mourning the 14 deaths in Texas. More people died, why isn't it a subject of national discussion?

Because trucks don't kill people, people kill people. Come on RKL, get with the left's program.

SUVs kill people. And more importantly, polar bears.

[MrsSmith]

SUVs kill polar bears? Or people kill polar bears?

I'm so confused.

So how well does it penetrate and what?  

I still have a few rounds of the black tip 3006, but I rarely shoot it.  Too few rounds to play with.

MrsSmith the answer is C - Both...get with the program.

SUV's kill polar bears by clubbing them with baby seals.....then they post spider pics on the Internet.....

Might want to save it for a rainy day. I haven't seen M2 AP readily available for going on a few years now.
