Four Guns and 6,000 Rounds of Ammunition: James Holmes’ Chilling Purchases Prior to the Shooting

Aurora Police Chief Dan Oates spoke to the press this evening, the second two press conferences today, discussing new developments that had been percolating in the press since the announcement had been made that a suspect had been apprehended in the Dark Knight Rises shooting case.
Oates was visibly emotionally disturbed throughout, and even appeared close to tears while describing the horror of the experience. Nevertheless, he did let slip a highly disturbing fact about the shooter, James Holmes, and the preparations he had made to carry out this act. And if Oates’ account is correct, then the image that is emerging of Holmes as a cold-blooded, meticulous psychopath looks highly plausible.
According to Oates, Holmes managed to – legally – purchase no less than four different guns at various local Colorado stores, as well as 6000 rounds of ammunition over the internet. Worse, he appears to have done this over the space of 2 months, suggesting this plan was gestating for at least that long, and was not, in fact, the random act of a man who snapped in the moment.
“My understanding is all weapons he possessed, he possessed legally. All ammunition he possessed, he possessed legally,” Oates said.
Aurora Police Chief Dan Oates, speaking earlier today
Oates also mentioned that all the bodies of victims had been removed from the theater as of 5 PM this afternoon. He also said that identifications of the victims would be coming within the next few hours. So far, 70 casualties have been counted, 12 of which were fatal. Of those 12, 10 were killed instantly by the gunfire, and 2 died at area hospitals. Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper told the press at this point that 30 patients remain hospitalized, 11 of whom are in critical condition, making the potential death poll higher.
As for Holmes himself, he will appear in Court at 8:30 AM Monday morning, according to Oates. However, Oates also said that Holmes’ apartment would not be investigated by police until tomorrow due to pervasively dangerous conditions on the ground. Specifically, the apartment appears to be booby trapped with several jars of liquid and what Oates described as some objects that “look like mortar rounds.”
Because of this, police will be investigating Holmes’ neighbors before resuming the investigation.
As to how Holmes entered the theater? Apparently, he had a ticket along with everyone else, but was able to duck out through an emergency exit, which he propped open, to retrieve his instruments.

No motive has been assigned to the killer yet, and Oates has steadfastly refused to confirm reports that Holmes believed himself to be “The Joker,” Batman’s terrifying enemy in the 2008 film “The Dark Knight.”
A prayer vigil will be held Sunday. ABC News has also reported on other developments in the case, including the release of the photo above, depicting shooter James Holmes:

You need an government issued ID to vote, but you sure don’t need one to purchase weapons of mass destruction. To require a government issued ID to buy semiautomatic weapons to slaughter people would be a violation of the Second Amendment. You know, the Amendment about maintaining a well regulated militia by protecting the ownership of single shot muskets that fired little balls of lead.

I know people who think 6000 rounds qualifies
as a good start.
But seriously, what do you want?
If I go to Wal*Mart and buy 500 rounds, then go to the next Wal*Mart and do the same,
do you want some magical agency to keep track of that?
And who cares? He shot less than a hundred rounds. That’s one box.
I’ve heard some of the craziest things.
“He should not have been allowed to buy a gun.”
Really? He was Phi Beta Kappa, studying for a PHD.

Please don’t promulgate false arguments. All gun dealers at “gun shows” still have to fill out all the required federal paperwork and run the FBI National Instant Criminal Background Check. If it is purchased from “one of your shadier dealers” then they are breaking the law and it is not legally purchased.
The US Justice Department says that you do not require an ID to vote.
The muskets fired balls of lead from 0.40 to 0.78 inches in diameter. And at the time of the Constitution, private weapons included cannon.

Many law biding citizens are afraid of being persecuted for caring a gun so they just don’t and those who break the law keep on breaking. I love how people think they can get rid of crime by passing laws. Isn‘t that the very definition of a criminal is that they don’t obey the law? Its also funny that these people who hate the right to bare arms are the very people when they take over end up forcing their ideas on you with the barrel of a gun?

I doubt seriously that you have ever been through the purchasing process at a gun show so I do not believe you could even speculate with some degree of authority.

The fact that people buy guns and ammo doesn’t make them criminals. This guy could have stolen daddy’s pistol and AR15 and done the same damage with $60 of ammo. He could have also booby-trapped his apartment with ammonia and bleach, and still provided a very deadly chemical environment in there.

The problem I have is that OoooOOOOooohhhh it was a big bad semi-automatic gun. Ummm yeah so you **** it once and may continue firing not like a bolt action rifle. There is no reason I should not be able to legally continue buying and owning semi-automatic handguns or shotguns even like the Brownings. This is ridiculous to point out. They leave a round behind usually allowing forensics to do something with it to eventually catch people using the guns. A revolver does not leave them behind but believe it or not, most revolvers will allow you to continue firing until you empty the gun. It is pointless to point out that it was a semi-automatic handgun unless you are trying to set up an argument against their legality. Maybe muskets with powder and ball is newsworthy if any were ever used since it would be something different. Any good reporter that would have pointed out that it was a (insert name/model of weapon) and maybe they had spare magazines and the type of rounds used to explain why bullets penetrated multiple ppl/cover or why they did not such as FMJ or JHP rnds. Though, unless it is a point of controversy needed in the story, it may only matter when they are prepping for trial. If details besides the weapon/rounds even mattered at this point.

We are the most armed civilian population of any nation on the planet. The U.N. along with one world progressives are trying to pass this because they fear that when it comes time to declare martial law here, our own military will have splintering factions led by officers who will refuse to obey orders carrying out actions such as these against civilian U.S. population because it contradicts the oath of service and their general orders. They will be correct in refusing them and standing with the states’ National Guard troops who get activated before the federal government activates them in order to ensure the states will be running their own individual guard. I would really hate to see that but we may see states trying to retain power after so much power grabbing has been done by the fed. This in the form of our own soldiers being faced with action against civilians without due process and our soldiers being prepped to look at civilians as enemy combatants if they are armed. We have enough soldiers who understand their duties and take oaths far more seriously than politicians do that this ridiculous U.N. seizure order will encounter more than just stiff resistence.

The liberals will make a big deal out of the 6,000 rounds. As Dogbert form the Dilbert Comic would argue 6,000 “is a big round number”. Therefore the argument is in fallible.
James Holmes acquired mortar shells or made something that look like mortar shells. If Mr Holmes actually had something with the explosive power of a mortar shell. The ******** can take away all the guns they want. There will be mass casualty events & there is nothing that any ******* can do to protect others.
I’ll say it now. Take away guns & people like James Holmes will rig propane tanks & other items as IEDs to do their dirty deeds.

Not only do you need valid, up-to-date ID, but you also have to fill out a long form and give up lots of personal information. And you have to submit to an FBI criminal background check. And you have to wait three days to pick up your heat after you’ve paid for it. Then you have to register it with local law enforcement and make sure they have the serial number in their files, just in case it gets stolen. Gun owners have to jump through a lot of hoops for the legal right to self-protection. And by the way, 6000 rounds of ammo is nothing. The average gun owner has at least 1000 rounds in the ammo boxes at any given time.

If he didn’t want to buy guns leagally all you do is go down to the local fence at the hood and pay $600 for a $200 gun. They don‘t check ID’s – only the color of your money.

The sooner you figure out that almost all of these mass murders with guns occur in crowded, designated gun-free zones (i.e. schools, some churches, theaters, etc.), the sooner you might begin to figure out that the problem is NOT the guns themselves, but rather the evil, depraved, psychopathic killers that use guns to kill a large number of unarmed innocent people.
Good thing I no longer have any guns or ammunition. Nothing to see here. Move along.

Its not a bad area but its not great and the wanna be thugs there carry them in even in a gun free zone. My thoughts is that they were either to scared to shoot, to busy getting friends and family out to shoot, or afraid shooting a guy in full ballistics would do nothing but waste time and cost them their lives. I think James knew there would be people there with guns and that was the reason for the full gear. He wasn’t afraid of getting caught…he was afraid of getting killed.

Finally, someone who can help with this question. You commented above, ‘I think James knew there would be people there with guns and that was the reason for the full gear. He wasn’t afraid of getting caught…he was afraid of getting killed.” What exactly are the gun laws in Colorado? From what I read there is nothing preventing them from having a concealed gun “in a place of business”. I looked them up today, and although the theater might be a “gun free zone” what is to prevent someone to conceal and carry? There were many people on the social networks yesterday freaking out saying, “oh, if only the citizens were allowed to carry…” But many of these people (at a midnight showing) were youngsters who probably haven’t been around guns or have been interested in owning them, or can’t afford them, etc. Do concealed weapons at this point even help the situation if like you said the people were just surprised and trying to roll out quickly? I mean, don’t get me wrong, my husband and I would be on that man like white on rice if we had our handguns on us. I’m curious though. Why does everyone keep using the “if they only had their guns on them” logic? And then also, I’m baffled by the gun laws in CO permitting people to carry but then there are those “gun free zones”? Someone educate me please! I’m a new gun owner who kicks the shite out of my husband with my AR at the range! Poor guy, I try to tell him it’s okay… :)

Without knowing anything about the specific guns he purchased, it’s possible to spend less than $200 for a gun of each type mentioned. That’s less than $800. Small caliber, common ammo is not that expensive, especially when you buy in bulk (like everything else). $0.10-$0.20 a round. If we take the high number and say $0.20 a round, 6000 rounds comes to around $1200 dollars.

Posted on July 20, 2012 at 10:40pmSounds like this was very well planned out, and if he was out of work, where did he get all the money to buy that? You are talking about $4,000 at least. Either that or he maxed his credit cards knowing he didn’t have to pay it back.

Posted on July 20, 2012 at 11:47pmYou may be right.. I know someone who a year a go got himself 20K in Barry’s easy student loan program. He spent it all on traveling all over the country instead of going to school. I think he is expecty Ombam to forgive his loans since he is entitled, and if reelected, may do just that.

Posted on July 20, 2012 at 10:59pmYup. The very fact that everything was puchased legally is seriously going to hurt those of us that aren’t lunatics. My first thought upon hearing this was, “Why wasn’t anybody armed?”
In my “weird” way of thinking…
Maybe the shooter would have been taken out and less people would have been killed or injured.
But, NO! Immature, self-serving politicians will use this as ‘ammo’ to take away the ability to purchase legal firearms and ammo.
These nutjobs always get the innocents and miss the real targets.

Report Post »It is my understanding this theater has signage banning all weapons, including permitted concealed carry. A fact which the shooter was aware of I am sure.

Posted on July 22, 2012 at 2:07amWelcome Black…Who cares what some stupid sign says? It is called self-preservation and people need to start looking to the 2nd Amendment for their permission slip.

Posted on July 20, 2012 at 10:36pmThe only thing that makes the purchase of 4 guns and 6000 rounds “chilling” is the fact that this Hollywood-influenced phsycopath bought them. The thing that is chilling to me is the fact that there were that many people crammed in a small area seemingly unprepared to defend themselves against an absolute lunatic. Hollywood and the anti-gunners have to accept responsibility for this one.

“”The thing that is chilling to me is the fact that there were that many people crammed in a small area seemingly unprepared to defend themselves against an absolute lunatic.”"
They were in a movie theatre so of course people were ‘crammed ina small area’ you dickwad!
Yeah, I know, if you were there and had your concealed weapon you would have prevented this. Bullcrap! Legal guns in citizens hands hardle ever stop a madman like this. Guns need to be regulated and so does ammunition and magazines need to be regulated. Our founding fathers are rolling in their graves seeing the way the 2nd amendment is being “used’ in the 21st century!! I say ban all guns and if you want them then live in mexico or some other country.

Posted on July 20, 2012 at 11:09pmWell bologna. Your name speaks volumes. Stats show that a well armed society has a lower crime rate than a well “controlled” one. All of the cliche expressions used by gun lovers are true. If u want guns banned then move to Cuba or any other communist country u admire. Then u will wish for a conservative limited government like the tea party promotes.

Posted on July 20, 2012 at 11:11pmTONY BOLOGNA..Your a MORON, this type of thinking is what makes this type of tragedy possible. Considering the fact that the truth to liberals is like sunshine to vampires, wherever you have the strictest gun laws, is where the highest gun crimes can be found, because only criminals have guns and us law abiding citizens are just sitting ducks. You can take my guns, when you can pry them out of my cold dead fingers!!

Posted on July 20, 2012 at 11:12pmYes, I am for real you of Leftist piece of trash. Guns prevent and stop crime every single day. The problem is that idiots like you only believe the propaganda that you feed yourselves. Guns are banned in Mexico, you moron. In case you have not noticed, and I no you haven’t, crime is much much worse there.

I went and looked at some of your other drivel, Bologna. Why doesn’t it surprise me that you are also an anti-semite? What is wrong with you Leftist and your hatred? We will find out in the end that this phsyco shooter is a Leftist too. Like almost every single one of them are. It has to come from all the demonic hatred you idiots breed.

Posted on July 20, 2012 at 11:33pmTony is an idiot and NOT A CRAZY, your right. I can’t believe the media reported the 71 year old guy stopping a couple of jackasses a couple of days ago. Oh wait, how many media sites did you see that reported on? They have an agenda and only report what they want to shape your opinion, to try and make you think like them. Apparently Tony watches the lamestream media and believes it.
