Seems like these two dudes thought long and hard about repercussions. Ghostly biznizz is the way to go these daze, it seems. Too ellusive to fail?

[GlockSpock]

What I really want to know is what greedy SOB sold Holmes the gas to drive to the theater in the first place.

Some investigative reporting with no real goal, except to accidently discover dirt on an owner of a company.

I liked what they said about Knoxville. Like it is a second class hick town, eh?

[TMF]

Proof that liberals are stoopid.  Unless he was carrying 6,000 rounds and fired that many on his shooting spree, why is it relevant how much ammo he had?  He fired only around 100 rounds, right?  that is 60 times less than the amount of ammo he had.  He could have walked into any Walmart (back then at least) and walked out with a couple hundred rounds of .223 just as easy.  Geez, why are liberals so dumb that they can't focus on relevant facts?

 

Ugh, it's like the stories where a guy has a dozen guns in his collection and they freak out, calling it an arsenal.  Well, you stupid pants wetting libtards, most of us only have two effing hands!  How the hell does it matter if I have one firearm or 1,000?  I can only shoot one at a time.

I'd rather know how the shrink got out of doing her duty about reporting him to the authorities than where he got his ammo.

There is evidence to this, out there. Well, plenty of evidence showing he was a dangerous person, with or without a firearm.

Yep. Knoxville has no music or BBQ...just a derlict relic tower from 1982...and orange parking tickets.

Dang where can I order it from? I am having a darned hard time finding ammunition to support some fun up at Oak Ridge for competition. 

[monkeylizard]

Apparently you're supposed to order it from Missouroxvillanta

You stole my entire post :). Never mind

[Oh Shoot]

I thought "Lucky Gunner" might be involved somehow soon as I read the blurb. I already knew their "Knoxville office" was a UPS store.

Ya can't win an argument with a libtard. They haven't discovered their brains, yet. The amount of ammo he had had nothin' to do with the system failin' him.

Of course. Lots of guns owners, me included, would consider 6K rounds merely a decent start.

Yes you can. It's just difficult. You have to make their heads explode before they learn to think. :D

[monkeylizard]

OS, I think some TGOers' call that amount "Tuesday".

[gjohnsoniv]

The funny part is that he never used but a tiny fraction of that ammunition, they just found it later. So I don't exactly see what they point of that article is.

Fear mongering, aka libtard 101

The best way I've found to help a non-shooter understand so-called "stockpiling" is gasoline. Let's say they use 10 gallons of gas per week in their car. Now let's say that there was a really easy way to safely store as much as they wanted at home and they'd get it for let's say $0.50 cheaper per gallon if they bought it in 100 gallon lots. They're going to use that 100 gallons over time so it's not a waste. How much can they buy before they're "crazy end of the world hoarders" instead of normal people who don't want to have to go to the gas station every time they need more and have to pay higher prices for it?

[vontar]

Wow I just learned that 6,000 rounds of ammo weights 170 pounds give or take.

[DaveTN]

6,000 rounds on ammo!!! One guy?? I’m freakin amazed. How could that possibly happen? And who in the world would ever have a use or need for 6K of ammo?

Me on a Saturday morning.

[Guest Lester Weevils]

If I didn't know better, would almost suspect maybe DaveTN is mocking the alarm about DHS buying forty-eleven zillion rounds of ammo. :)

 

But it is OK if I have forty-eleven zillion rounds, if I could afford it. Just not big sis.

I still don't think they will understand.

Actually, I was making fun of the journalist (and I use that term loosely) using all the hype about the PD wondering where the ammo came from.
 

ST. LOUIS — Start with the FedEx packages. Follow the trail. That’s what police in Colorado did. They wanted to learn how the gunman got his bullets, how he accumulated an arsenal of more than 6,000 rounds before he walked into an Aurora, Colo., movie theater last July, where he fatally shot 12 people and wounded 58. Where did that ammunition come from?

Most all cops know where ammo comes from and they know 6K rounds isn’t enough to warrant a headline. Either he’s new, making up grandstanding stuff, or it was a slow news day.

Apologies, Dave. I got a joke that wasn't even there! :)
