Who paid for James Eagan Holmes’ gear? #aurora

James Eagan Holmes gear

This stuff isn’t cheap. From several reports, Holmes purchases this in the last few months, while being unemployed.

According to one friend of his, the height of his employment history is working at McDonald’s. That is minimum wage – this gear, at the very least, cost about $10,000.

Plus, we know that his home was booby trapped with explosives.

Where did he get all of this money?

At the very least $10,000?

Not terribly informed about this sort of thing, are you?

A no-frills M&P AR is around $1000-1200, A Glock pistol is around $550 so thats $1100 for two. The 870 is maybe $600. So we're into guns for $3400, tops.

6000 rounds of ammo, which is what theyre hysterically claiming he had, depending on the ammo, can be around $300/1m..so thats around $1800. That brings us to $5200. A used PASGT helmet is $100 offa eBay, a surplus mask is $50. Relatively decent body armour is a grand. The rest of the SWAT gear comes offa eBay or similar venue for less than $600.

Way I see it, the maximum amount this cost was $6k. In fact, it was probably less because when the media uses words like 'ballistic leggings' they have no idea what theyre talking about and are probably mixing up 'ballistic nylon' with 'ballistic armour'.

No way this came to over $10k. Check your sources.

OK! Let it be - 6 thousand dollars, in any case, it is too much for a student!
Plus some explosives in his apartment
And so - all the questions ask to the author of the blog,(http://unsettledchristianity.com/2012/07/who-paid-for-james-eagan-holmes-gear-aurora/)
I really do not know too much about the prices of weapons :)

..............Question: How does an unemployed medical student afford $20,000 in weapons gear?

If you start to look at the really big picture here, the obvious question arises: How does an unemployed medical student afford all the complex weapons gear, bomb-making gear, “flammable” booby trap devices, ammunition, multiple magazines, bullet-proof vest, groin protection, ballistic helmet, SWAT uniform and all the rest of it?

A decent AR-15 rifle costs $1,000 or more all by itself. The shotgun and handgun might run another $800 total. Spare mags, sights, slings, and so on will run you at least another $1,000 across three firearms. The bullet-proof vest is easily another $800, and the cost of the bomb-making gear is anybody’s guess. With all the specialty body gear, ammunition, booby-trap devices and more, I’m guessing this is at least $20,000 in weapons and tactical gear, much of which is very difficult for civilians to get in the first place........
