I'm not even worried about the whole polite society thing of the debate.
Governments have proven to be just as culpable as any criminal/"terrorist" organization, and how could they not be? They're no more human than any 'terrorist' or crime lord, or the law-abiding citizen. They should be held accountable by the same degree as anyone else, and that means ensuring private individuals be allowed to carry and use the same equipment the military can.
I'm going to need to see some evidence or anything really to even remotely believe your outlandish claim of it being a government conspiracy. >.<
Alright.
Let's start with the most basic stuff. This is the "think about it" step.
1. James Holmes was not declared: guilty, not guilty, or innocent. Merely, insane. At no point did he receive an appropriate defense. It's equivalent to telling someone, "we think you're guilty but we have no proof of it. So we're going to allow you to plead insane." Everyone's supposed to be innocent until proven guilty, that it is the prosecution's duty to prove someone guilty - not the defense's job to prove innocence or not guilty.
2. Where the shooter was reported to have immediately left and return with his equipment, which was the fire exit, there was no fire alarm going off. He also could not have opened it from the outside, as anyone that's ever been to a movie theater should know.
3. The shooter immediately surrendered after being caught by the police. No fight whatsoever. The shooter also told the police his house was booby-trapped.
4. As I already stated, eyewitness accounts reported a second man.
5. A med student couldn't even have afforded a semi-auto on his own to begin with, and James Holmes was unemployed to boot. It's even unlikely he'd have been able to use his school loans to cover for any of the gear, as well.
5b1. Furthermore, if James Holmes were the shooter and bought every single piece of equipment, legally or otherwise, where were the red flags? Someone had to be tracking him, "national security" and all that in the post-9/11 world. You don't just walk anywhere, even via an underground market, expecting to buy such heavy equipment. Ever. Combine this with the fact he was involved in a variety of dangerous chemicals as a med student.
5b2. James Holmes' own psychiatrist, Lynne Fenton, reported to campus police about concerns over one of her own patients. Despite that he quit seeing her after June 11th, he supposedly mailed a notebook to her later. The same psychiatrist later had her information removed from the University of Colorado website.
5c. On the other hand, the FBI & DHS did warn as early as May of "terrorists planning to attack a movie theater..." - This same warning was removed sometime after.
5d. TacticalGears.com, the website the tactical gear was supposedly bought from, reported no suspicious order from the James Holmes suspect!
6. Both James Holmes & Adam Lanza are connected to the Libor scandal: Peter Lanza (Adam's father), a tax director for General Electric, was scheduled to testify in the Libor case; Robert Holmes (James' father) was set to be a Libor witness for his position at FICO.
7. Gun owners should know that the reported rifles produce a much higher lethal rate than the Death-to-Injury rate given in the theater shooting.
8. Nurse Jenny Gallagher, whom assisted with the Aurora victims and met Barack Obama during, died to drowning later.
9. Why would the University of Colorado be advised to cover up any of James Holmes' emails?
10. James Holmes, despite being called out as a loner, had a girlfriend not far back it appears.
Assault rifles vs. Assault weapons
In United States politics and law, an assault weapon is a variety of semi-automatic firearms that have certain features generally associated with military firearms, including assault rifles. The 1994 Federal Assault Weapons Ban, which expired on September 13, 2004, codified the definition of an assault weapon. It defined the rifle type of assault weapon as a semiautomatic firearm with the ability to accept a detachable magazine and two or more of the following:
- a folding or telescoping stock
- a pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon
- a bayonet mount
- a flash suppressor or threaded barrel designed to accommodate a flash suppressor
- a grenade launcher
Ergo, it was created out of thin-air. Assault weapon is just a catch-all term for politicians and gun control nuts that couldn't even pick the difference between a semi-auto and a full-auto rifle.
Source? The media had initially reported in Aurora and Connecticut that there was second shooter, but then again when something like this happens it's pure chaos so I'm not really going to hold it against them. Unless you got something concrete, I'm going to shake it off as another wild conspiracy theory.
The nun stuff seems to have already been expunged, albeit if you do a Google search, you can see in the details below the links of information relating to a nun or two.

It seems the server isn't allowing me to post everything, but has to be bit-by-bit instead. So give me time to see what I can get through.
