  1. I think you have to add all the transportation, and filings, etc, costs, and then times it by the time extended to execution, then i think the math works a little more in those who say so's favor. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  2. Banning the manufacture and sale of assault weapons to consumers in the United States would. Of course History proves this wrong. The US had a ban, didn't work. That's why we need to make a ban that does work. That is just fear talking, it will, pass with further education. Assault Weapons, the term, did not exist before the ban talk started. Bans are just to hold control of an entire populace, not for its "protection". That is just the excuse used. I am not afraid of the guns, i don"t think you should be either. It is the lack of punishment for abusing rights that you should be afraid of. Punish the criminals with actual punishment, nit a free education and three hots and a cot.

  3. Banning the manufacture and sale of assault weapons to consumers in the United States would. Of course History proves this wrong. The US had a ban, didn't work. Plus, any weapon can be used in an assault, it is just a knee jerk marketing ploy by those who are anti Constitution and anti Bill of Rights. All in the name of Politics exercised under the false pretense of protecting the populace. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  4. I agree the gun is not the issue the dude holding them is. His Mom might have been able to stop it, or a friend who might pay attention. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  5. Not necessary either, since the Supreme Court has already stated quite unambiguously that preventing felons and the mentally ill from having firearms is NOT a violation of the 2nd Amendment. Well, at that point I think the Individual has shown they do not deserve to retain their rights, or in the case of the mentally ill, it is better for the whole of society. I think 100% background checks, including for private sales. With a web based system it is doable. Mandatory Fire Arms training for ALL, regardless of back ground. And for those who are gonna pile on how wrong this is, remember it is not taking away your rights. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  6. Setting aside the gun free zone venue. One of the things all Fire Arms owners should know, and any who has ever taken any class has been told this, is KNOW what you aiming at, AND, what id behind your target. For my CCW, the Instructor reinforced my already held belief that my weapon is for DEFENSE, and that some times retreating to a safer area is a better option in that defense. The net is on fire with tough guys saying they would have done this or that. Most have no true training or experience in this type of situation, I know I never trained to have a gun fight in a crowded theater in my 21 Years in the Army or my years in PS and VIPS. Honestly, I think the discussion should be on how we can take reasonable steps in trying to prevent mentally unstable people from being able to do something like this again, with out removing rights, we have at birth and reaffirmed with the Constitution and Bill of Rights, for law abiding and stable Citizens.

  7. I thought I read in a link from one of the earlier pages in this thread, that the Police Officer wanted to charge him, to send it to the Prosecutor, and the Prosecutor looked at the available evidence and declined, did I misread that?

  8. They were probably the first one's hitting the exits. A buddy is an Aurora PD Officer, the theater is a gun free zone as I understand it. Matt Realistically, how many people do you think that stops from bringing their weapons in anyway, even if only accidentally, I'd imagine there'd still be one or two. Sure one or two may still do it using an ideology that some feel is the be all and end all, the Second Amendment. But many of us remember from the forms we filled out for our background checks, and the courses we took, and on the card we carry that reminds us of the Private Businesses rights too.

  10. Accept, already we have "speculators" claiming he had PTSD, I have yet to read or hear any thing stating he did, or had served in a venue to suffer from PTSD. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  11. Typically the Police can't get there fats enough, they have small numbers and big territory. But if TM had hung up with his girl friend and called 911, maybe some one in the call center would have said, "hey, wait a minute" and the two dispatchers could have each told GZ and TM stop, you two are calling in on each other etc. I think that might have been the posters point, however, i could be wrong.

  12. +1, a senseless tragedy. And regardless of this person’s religious or political leanings, in the end, he is just disturbed..... Period..... Right, we need to do a FAR BETTER JOB keeping guns out of the hands of nutcases. Good job all those CCW holders were around to prevent this. Ah yes The circluar argument of the gun banner comes up early in the thread Until you can be honest about your position on guns, why don't you just read and learn something Bye I am honest - I want it to be far more difficult for **nutcases** to get guns. If you think this will impact you, then the rest of us can draw our own conclusions about your own opinion of yourself. What will be the measurement? The Mom "knew", in the linked article, so what was she to do? what are the laws for her to help protect society? How far do you want the laws to be able to reach?

  14. And if I read ABC's article right and understand the quote from the Suspects mother, She knew he was up to this. http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/aurora-dark-knight-shooting-suspect-identified-james-holmes/story?id=16818889#.UAlmDHBbwzY Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety.

  16. See that reply has merit, and good advice. I admit, I try to ignore him, but he is such a good story teller! He could make millions with his imagination, if it was able to be balanced with his sanity. Much like Mr.King. Chief keeps laughing at him, and then me ,for addressing him.

  17. or, you could get a life. Such whit! But you're the one lampooning every one with your posts, bashing BK makes sense, it is all crap from him, but the other post your making lately? That is beneath you, stay above board sir, it is easy. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  18. _____________________________ Hardly. I can speel "thigh." _____________________________ "If it doesn't exist, you won't find it. YOU may not find it if it DOES exist. If it is not fact, it won't lead you to the truth. Yes, it can, it's called deductive reasoning. If it is from a flawed, or made up memory, it will lead you from the truth." Yes, it can, it's called a parable. _____________________________ If it is truth, it will survive repudiation. If it is from a predjudiced mind, it is biased. If it is from ignorance, it is ignorance. If it is from a Government employee, it is worthless. Truth is the best policy. Truth talks, bullshit walks. I'm talkin'. If it is from a flawed or made up memory, Blevins wrote it. If it sucks past 40 knots over 110° F, Matt was there. The less you know, the more you blow. You did it again Babbler, you edited a quoted post, with more BS too. And you're "talking" is not truth, every one knows that, even you. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety.

  19. _____________________________ Hardly. I can speel "thigh." Which rhymes with: "A guy, who can lie" Matt __________________ Pablum stuff again! Could, but won't. Too important to play the games you play. Grow up and take responsibility. Says the man who constantly spins a fable this thread. All of your none-evidence has been debunked, all of your personal recollections proven false, all of your direct association proven to be not. Yet you persist. Your world must be a lonely place. Sad you would stoop to such immature and childishness, from a man of your age. You are right, you should grow up and take responsibility, apologize for the hurt you've caused Jo, and to those you have slandered here as well as the pages your now banned from. Then step out and enjoy the sunset, away from here. Or if you're actually still believing this fable of yours, blow the whistle! Or forever be thought of as a coward and accomplice, guilty of fraud and by your own admission a felony. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

  22. This last weekend I went on a search trip with my Brother, we had to use 25 to 50 year old info, depending on the source. We found the item, after we stepped back wrote down all the info and saw a pattern, then we used a bit of modern science and bingo, found the item. A few things we found out: If it doesn't exist, you won't find it. If it is not fact, it won't lead you to the truth. If it is from a flawed, or made up memory, it will lead you from the truth.

  23. Jo's time line, and circumstantial evidence, is as strong as Robert's and his theory of KC. And both theories show a small one or two perp operation that had nothing to do with a false flag operation (that did not exist and no trace of any sort can be found, which tells you it is all false). But both theories lack that critical piece of evidence that make s it all come together. I would still like to know the details of how the FBI ruled out some suspects like McCoy.

  24. You posted that part t be funny, didn't you? Matt No, I am not being funny. There are plenty of handy cam videos out there that lack a handle check. Now we can all play dumb and assume that they are all doing them but they just editing them out, but we both know that it isn't some of the video because some aren't doing them because they are busy filming. I am not condoning it at all, just point out that some people are getting their priorities wrong on handycam jumps. I would like to see one video with the T-I wearing a hand cam and doing the Manufacturer required (In the US) handles check. I haven't, one or two may exist, but I have seen THOUSANDS that no check is made and half a dozen "modified" EP's where the T-I never even went for the Reserve handle, good ol' RSL did the heavy work. Put the cam on the Student (if outside video is too costly), and make the T-I do his primary Job, KEEP THE STUDENT SAFE! Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety.
