Right-Wing Gun Group: Was Aurora an Inside Job?

http://www.motherjones.com/mojo/2012/07/right-wing-gun-group-aurora-was-inside-job


Here's the first right-wing conspiracy theory about the shootings that killed 12 people and injured dozens more at a midnight screening of the latest Batman movie in Aurora, Colorado over the weekend.
All indications from the Aurora Police Department are thatBatman gunman James Holmes acted alone, for reasons that have yet to be established. But Larry Pratt—the president of Gun Owners of America, a far-right Second Amendment group that's backed by prominent people likeSen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.)—has a different theory. 
Pratt believes the timing of Holmes' rampage, which left 12 people dead and 58 wounded, seemed designed to coincide with the upcoming negotiation of the United Nations Small Arms Treaty. Apress release sent out to radio bookers on Tuesday advertising Pratt's availability noted that, "In an article posted at The New American...one expert even outlined a theory that Holmes didn't act alone, but was possibly 'enlisted' to carry out his violent act." Pratt, the publicist stated, was free for interviews on Holmes' "impeccable" timing.
and they are off and running again, pun intended. has the right wing become so stressed about losing in Nov. that they keep looking in the bottom of their cereal boxes for boogeyman theories? 
from those who worry if the movie will get a box office boost to these conspiracy water carriers. all is designed by republicans and NRA to make lemonade out of the senseless death and mayhem of Americans. 
this will be their format make money off of "we the people", either they steal it, like the elections, or legislate it out of your pockets, taxes.
