Batman shooter bought 6,000 rounds of ammunition before Denver massacre

“My understanding is that all the weapons he possessed, he possessed legally
and all the clips that he possessed, he possessed legally and all the
ammunition he possessed, he possessed legally.”

Holmes is also believed to have joined a casual sex website where he
apparently hinted at his plans for his killing spree, asking potential
suitors: “Will you visit me in prison?”

The AdultFriendFinder website, which offers users the chance for casual
encounters, features pictures of a man features pictures of a man who
resembles Holmes with dyed red hair, the same colour described by NYPD
spokesman Ray Kelly following Holmes’s arrest.

Under the username ‘classicjimbo’, the 24-year-old — known as Jimmy to friends
and family — said he was “looking for a fling or casual sex gal. Am a nice
guy. Well, as nice enough of a guy who does these sort of shenanigans
(sic)”.

The AdultFriendFinder account was last accessed on Tuesday, two days before
the shootings. Holmes is believed to have joined the site on July 5th, just
two weeks before Thursday’s attack.

The ease with which Holmes was able to obtain his deadly arsenal has provoked
renewed debate over the issue of gun control in the US, where many are
fiercely protective of their Constitutional Second Amendment ‘right to bear
arms’.

Colorado’s gun laws are notoriously lax, even in light of the 1999 Columbine
High School shootings, which took place just a 30 minute drive from the site
of the Aurora cinema massacre.

Thirteen students died at Columbine when disaffected students Eric Harris and
and Dylan Klebold opened fire on campus.

Firearm rights organisations have successfully blocked many attempts to
tighten gun legislation in the state, and residents are permitted to carry
loaded weapons in a vehicle if intended for ‘lawful purposes’. Individuals
with permits are entitled to carry concealed weapons and many claim the
process of obtaining a permit is ‘straightforward’ for anyone with no prior
criminal convictions.
