He had people inside a dark box with one or two narrow exits, threw some gas in there, and then came in firing, while fully armored and wearing a gas mask. A pro wouldn’t be able to do anything in this situation other than maybe tackle him if he was sitting close enough and before the gas makes him as useless as anybody else. That’s how terrorists and hostage-tackers get taken out, and they are armed themselves. Would any one of us feel better about having a gun in that situation? Probably. Would it help? Most likely not unless you plan on also carrying a gas mask yourself, along with a bullet-proof vest. A pro would have shot him in the the head And armor does not make you impervious to gunfire, even if the bullet doesnt penetrate the armor I can 100% guarantee it still is incredibly painful.

No a pro would have accessed the situation, in a theater full of tear gas with people running and scrambling all over and sure as hell WOULD NOT FIRE A SINGLE SHOT. Like stated earlier that “pro” would simply put his life on the line run towards the gunshots and tackle the shooter. A real trained professional would not put more innocent civilians in harms way by opening fire. No matter how good of a shot they are, in this situation. ---

I haven’t read the entire thread, but I can imagine there will be some type of tighter gun control. This happens close to a presidential election so I’m sure something will be done. ---

> Mike Tobin reported from outside the apartment shooting suspect James Holmes in Aurora, Colorado. Police say the suspect was planning not just the movie theater shooting, but a second attack meant to kill. After bomb technicians made their way into the apartment yesterday afternoon, they discovered 30 bombs rigged to kill whoever entered first. They believe he spent three weeks rigging the apartment and spent at least two months online making purchases prior to July 20th’s deadly attack. > Some of the bombs were reconfigured from fireworks and there were other devices filled with gasoline to cause a big fire when they exploded. Other devices were filled with chemicals that would explode when they were mixed. The trip wires were not just at the front door, but trip wires that went across the living room and leading to a central control panel. Wonder why he warned them first. ---

I don’t know if anyone mentioned but I read yesterday that all the police and politics and shit are saying “all the weapons and explosives(tear gas, ammunition, whatever) was easily accessible to anyone via online and local gun shops”. I definitely wouldn’t be surprised if something is proposed for more gun control. ---

Drum mag and Ar15 jamming? > AURORA, Colorado – The semiautomatic assault rifle used by the gunman in a mass shooting at a midnight showing of the latest Batman movie jammed during the attack, a federal law enforcement official told The Associated Press, which forced the shooter to switch to another gun with less fire power. > The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to in order to discuss the investigation, said the disabled weapon had a high-capacity ammunition magazine. Police have said that a 100-round drum magazine was recovered at the scene and that such a device would be able to fire 50 to 60 rounds a minute.
