I don't know the source of this graphic [below], but I suspect it's from someone trying to prove that there was a "gunman on the grassy knoll" in Aurora.
So, let's go shopping, shall we? And let's Shop Stupid©, and pay full asking retail, too!
Lessee: we want a moderately tricked out AR15, and lets get it at Cabelas. We're an ignorant but book-smart wannabe with no experience so we'll really overpay for accuracy we're never going to use anyway... toss in the tax, $2,000
Two .40S&W Glocks. Again, let's buy at the high end, this time from Glock, and we're at, oh, call it $1,100 with tax.
And a Remington 870. What the heck, lets buy premium from Bass Pro Shops, were our budding young movie terrorist shopped. $700. (Mind you, we could have gotten just as much gun for our purposes for about $400).
And, off to the interwebz for ammo! We need 6k, of mixed calibers - but I'm betting our wannabe bought mostly .223. You've got lots of choices, and I'm betting that when Holmes saw these pages, he went for bulk pricing, and wasn't buying high-end hunting ammo in 20 round boxes, rather, he bought in bulk. Toss in shipping... and make it $3,100.
...and, I've spent $6,900. Mind you, I had to pretty much Shop Stupid© to do that. I could have brought this in, without breaking a sweat, for about $3,500, *max*.
Assume an unloaded credit card and this just isn't hard.
I.e., quit striving so hard to find a "false flag" angle on things. Sometimes a twisted soul is just a twisted soul.
Clearly, in order to prevent crimes like this... we need to ban credit cards.
