surely he doesn't think his weapons *should* have been illegal. does he mean the stuff he made the bombs from? (firstread.msnbc.msn.com)

random thought: i wonder if gun companies give money to democratic presidential nominees - tRuMaN Jul 25, 14:48
It's an argument that we don't need new laws, just enforce the ones we have. - spamlet Jul 25, 14:47
Or was Romney stating that Holmes bought all the weapons and ammo illegally? - amoxy Jul 25, 14:46 1
- I'm not sure what he thought was illegal. I thought it was all legal and bought legally. -- nm - mara Jul 25, 14:48
I think he means that the problem with guns in this country is that we don't enforce our existing gun laws - znufrii Jul 25, 14:37 5
- But I wonder what he thinks was illegal in what the shooter had. -- nm - mara Jul 25, 14:39 4
  - From what's been said here, only one gun would have been illegal. The bomb stuff I don't know about. - The liioulu with a capital t Jul 25, 14:45 1
    - The semi-automatic would have been illegal if the assault weapons ban were still in effect, but it's not. -- nm - mara Jul 25, 14:49
  - Exactly the point here. There was no way using the current laws to stop this guy from doing what he did. -- nm - Bacon the Kook Jul 25, 14:43
  - *shrug* - znufrii Jul 25, 14:42
Unless he is already passing judgement that Holmes was bat-s**t insane -- nm - amoxy Jul 25, 14:34 6
- Hmm, I guess I'd be okay with laws restricting access to guns for people on any kind of psych drugs. -- nm - mara Jul 25, 14:36 5
  - I haven't been following, do we know his clinical history? - znufrii Jul 25, 14:44 2
    - Hmmm, now that I look, it was Vicodin I heard about. Painkillers aren't really psych drugs. -- (link) - mara Jul 25, 14:47
    - None so far. He's at the age when some types of problems just start to exhibit themselves. -- nm - The liioulu with a capital t Jul 25, 14:46
  - If we start taking away rights of people who are on medication, wouldn't that discourage sick people everywhere from getting the help they need? -- nm - con_carne Jul 25, 14:38 1
    - They don't need help if they've got their GUUUUNS -- nm - Beryllium Jul 25, 14:39
probably confusing what state has what laws about 100 round mags. CO seems to be one of those states you can have full auto? terminator style mini-gun -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 25, 14:30
Don't worry the NRA will explain it properly while warning about Obama taking away all gun rights. -- nm - The liioulu with a capital t Jul 25, 14:29
