Words of wisdom there John (John is my other name:D)

Fact is why does anyone who lives in a USA Town or City need an assault rifle? They don't! So simply why are they freely available with very little back ground checks! I would accept that one handgun is alright for self defence which is one main reason these pro-gun people claim is why they have a gun. It really as a Massive problem to change the law as there are thousands of yanks with weapons more than legally allowed and so on! It's a minefield basically.

Why does any ordinary citizen need an assault rifle is my question, if their argument is well I need a gun for self protection, its a little bit cumbersome walking the streets with an AK47 slung over your shoulder:rolleyes:

That's my point exactly! :)

Concerning this Aurora shooter - James Holmes, the Sun newspaper claims he sat in the cinema for 20 mins before starting his attack. How do you sit in a cinema with a shotgun and an assault rifle and not get confronted by security? Doesn't make sense! :confused:

Haven't heard that, but it does seem very strange, even for the good old US of A doesn't it:rolleyes:

Well I read somewhere else it said he was sitting in the cinema, then got a phone call, left the theatre and moments latter "someone" burst in wearing all the protective gear and helmet and started the carnage.:confused:

There is one version of the story that a person exited a fire door, wedged it slightly ajar, and he allegedly gained entry that way.

Whether you believe any of it is up to you.

Read on the net this morning that they have arrested another chap for threatening more outrages if they didn't set free the guy they have for the incident, makes you wonder whether it was a one man job:confused:

So you believe that too :rolleyes:
Did you know either of them personally?

I don't supposed Kes does but the fact that this atrocity is on the anniversary of the Swedish even holds some water, and that's not a conspiracy either, its a fact:rolleyes:

Well they tried a total ban on handguns in this country over 12 years ago, what good it did I don't know, certainly wouldn't have deterred the criminal, but it did stop genuine shooting enthusiasts from carrying on with the sport

A point I made on the previous thread on this subject, my brother being one of those affected and he had been a hand gun shooter all his adult life.

It was in Norway John but apart from that yes it does seem rather more than a coincidence.

No I didn't know them! :rolleyes: Another puzzle is this guy Holmes does not seem to have an Internet presence which is unusual for a young man studying science! :confused:

I agree that some of his claims are outlandish and 'way over the top' (even for me:D), but his method of mapping ears has convinced me that SOME of what he reveals is true.

You believe what you feel comfortable with - that is your right.

Well I certainly don't think that Icke and Richard Branson are the same - no way! If I had the will I could take photos of many people who all look similar and then try and bend it so I say they are all the same people acting. Many people do look the same and this guy is simply stretching his imagination to make them into dopplegangers! :rolleyes: Is this guy making these vids "paranoid dellusional"? That is he is deluded that people are acting and conspiring in a way that they are not...

Why ask Eric? What's your take on the matter? Do you really think "preventing the Colorado shootings from happening again" is realistic? Dream on!

errr....I think you'll find it was me who STARTED this thread by giving my take on the matter. We've tightened the gun laws in this country, and while we haven't prevented the occasional incident, we have at least ensured that it is kept to a minimum.

Of course the Colorado shootings will happen again, but that shouldn't stop us from looking for ways to make it as hard as possible for these idiots to build up an arsenal of arms.
