    That’s assuming he got it legally. My guess is that he did, but we’ll see what develops.

    But Colorado requires universal background checks - so he obviously couldn’t have acquired a gun without one!

    If the "facts" there are correct, I'd say this is cause for major reform and government action....

    In the public education system

    in the public mental health system

    well, that's a good point but...

    if he came here when he was 3 I don't know if it's totally relevant

    and...

    the left is currently uninterested in stemming the tide of future D voters so I wouldn't expect to see that change. I'd think that mental health and education reform, at least in principal, would be something we could all agree on.

    I already see this guy being called a "jihadi" in various places, which seems a stretch at best from the information so far.

    My prediction: Colorado will soon enact Alissa's law which will penalize friends, family, educators, & coworkers who do not invoke red flag laws against someone who later uses a gun in crime. That'll solve everything...

    What information? I've searched and am not really finding anything. That, I find interesting. Also, a person doesn't have to be foreign born to have extremist Jihadi beliefs.

    The usual gun control ghouls are wetting themselves with joy over the Colorado incident.

    I get that some folks just want to bang on the jihadi drum, often for some sort of other agenda (ironic how many will pitch a bitch that the left is "using a tragedy to curtail gun rights" but then use the same tragedy as a reason to scream "jihadi!") but if homeboy had a legit set of mental problems then the even if he shouted "a la peanut butter and jelly sandwiches" while firing that doesn't make him a "jihadi".

    I have a relative that is bat-crap-crazy. When he goes off his meds he gets on about Cuba, and revolutions, and all that shit. Doesn't make him a "marxist" or whatever.

    no more so than someone that thinks aliens are probing his asshole is a Martian.

    CNN reporting it was an AR pistol with an "arm grip." Must be what Biden was talking about when he said more info would come out about the "modifications made to it."
