James E. Holmes, ordered 3,000 rounds of handgun ammunition, 3,000 rounds for an assault rifle and 350 shells for a 12-gauge shotgun — an amount of firepower that costs roughly $3,000 at the online sites — in the four months before the shooting, according to the police. It was pretty much as easy as ordering a book from Amazon.He also bought bulletproof vests and other tactical gear, and a high-capacity “drum magazine” large enough to hold 100 rounds and capable of firing 50 or 60 rounds per minute — a purchase that would have been restricted under proposed legislation that has been stalled in Washington for more than a year.A few states like Illinois, Massachusetts and New Jersey, and cities like Los Angeles and Sacramento, have passed restrictions on ammunition sales, requiring permits for buyers or licenses for sellers, or insisting that dealers track their ammunition sales for law enforcement.But in Colorado, and across much of the United States, the markets for ammunition — online and in storefronts — are largely unregulated, gun-control advocates say.
it seems all the bad and really bad things mass killings, oil spills, sub standard Levee's, and war just happen to be able to manifest themselves through at some point in is birth that twelve letter word rears it's for "we the people" ugly head, for right wing, happy dance's and singing "money,money, m o n e y dollar bill y'all, and that word "D E R E G U L A T I ON". regulations are safe guards not the business boogeyman the right tries to make it. for business it's just an ethical practice, that business is suppose to provide it's consumers with a quality product and safe in use. factories to keep them from pollutting our earth, air and water. but this is what the right wing is so vigorously fighting against, you and your safety.
is their an underlying reason for such devious clandestine efforts to support guns, other then power over gov't and money. like maybe keeping those radicals armed and ginned up for conflict not of the international kind? can Blacks and Hispanic's get access to guns as easily as their white counterparts? does kinda make you go hmmmmmmm? "stand your ground" capital HMMMMMM?
