Lawful Gun Owner Plans Aurora-Type Attack - Arrested
The Ottawa Citizen reportsA 20-year-old man is in jail in southwest Missouri on Friday on charges he planned a mass shooting at a theatre during the showing Sunday of the new movie Twilight.
Blaec Lammers told police in Bolivar, Mo., that he bought two assault rifles and 400 rounds of ammunition with the intent of carrying out a shooting that would be similar to one that killed 12 people and wounded 58 during a Batman movie premier in Aurora, Colorado, last July.
Police announced Lammers’ arrest on Friday. He was arrested Thursday and charged in state court with making a terrorist threat, armed criminal action and first degree assault, records show. He is being held on $500,000 bond.
Lammers’ mother alerted police on Thursday that her son and bought weapons similar to those suspect James Holmes allegedly used in the Aurora shooting, Bolivar police detective Dustin Ross said in a sworn statement to the court.
The biased spin doctors over at TTAG are all excited about the fantasy that young Mr. Lammars was heading to the theater BECAUSE it was a gun free zone and he'd be able to kill people like sitting ducks.
Nothing could be further from the truth. He himself admitted the reason, it was to imitate the Aurora Colorado shooter, [link:http://mikeb302000.blogspot.it/2012/07/the-amazing-james-holmes-lawful-gun.html|James Holmes.

The real story here is that someone as sick as this guy was able to legally buy guns. He was a lawful gun owner, as was Holmes, who was so unfit to own them safely that the most basic examination into his mental health might have been able to raise red flags.
Licensing of gun owners, which would include an exhaustive mental health background check combined with a "may issue" policy, is the only way to weed out these dangerous characters. We can't depend on their mothers dropping a dime.

Because your idea is pure authoritarianism.
You can show us how it's done. 
We could all chip in. You get a bow and arrows, sleeping bag, canteen, machete, fishing line and hooks...
You start at Chilchukabena Lake in the Denali National Park, bag a bear and bring it to Anchorage. When you manage to show us the bear, we sign a petition to bring your idea before the House and Senate.
I'd wait til Spring though, it's getting a bit brisk. How many arrows would you like?
Sure you want to stick to that lie?

School attacks in China (2010–2011)
A series of uncoordinated mass stabbings, hammer attacks, and cleaver attacks in the People's Republic of China began in March 2010. The spate of attacks left at least 21 dead and some 90 injured. Analysts have blamed mental health problems caused by rapid social change for the rise in these kind of mass murder and murder-suicide incidents.[1]

So you can't commit mass murder w/o a gun?
to your cell home, so that the door wouldn't open if you were carrying forbidden items. Not just a metal detector of course - I'm sure an automated blood-test, breathalyzer, and robotic frisker/cavity-searcher could be devised. No windows or alternative exits would be permitted, and those members of society who don't have homes in which to be imprisoned would naturally be rounded up and placed in prison. All blunt and sharp objects would be removed from public spaces, and, as a final safety measure, all citizens would be required to wear one-piece fleece jumpsuits with attached footy-socks and mittens. GPS monitors sewn in, natch! I really don't see what's so difficult about this... 
The sarcasm tag is created by typing the word "sarcasm" and putting a colon ":" before and after with no spaces.
Should there be a prize um... I mean bounty for ratting out your neighbors, friends and relatives with guns?
There was no reference to "hidden criminals". 
Say it ain't so!
...is that you didn't link out of the OP and I like that. 
Anything about an "exhaustive mental health background check combined with a "may issue" policy" relating to exercising a right is just fascism.
I feel bad for him. 
I think he and rDigital should be allowed back in.
