The hosts argue that "common sense" gun legislation is actually a move to control citizens through mental health records. They use the James Holmes Aurora theater shooting case to illustrate how psychiatric warnings and medications are being used to justify increased state surveillance.

Jury selection began for the trial of James Holmes, the man accused of the 2012 Aurora movie theater shooting. Holmes pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity, requiring prosecutors to prove he was legally sane at the time of the attack. The hosts discuss the "sketchy" details of the original event, including witness reports of multiple shooters, and note the high cost of the trial to Colorado taxpayers.

A study by James Alan Fox challenges common myths about mass shootings, stating that they are not on the rise and have remained consistent since 1976. The data also shows no clear link between psychiatric diagnoses and mass murder, and reveals that "assault weapons" were used in only 14 out of 93 analyzed incidents.

A judge in the James Holmes theater shooting case has barred the public from pretrial hearings regarding the defendant's sanity, claiming factual information would "infect" the jury pool. Seven pages of the ruling were redacted, leading to speculation that the government is hiding information about Holmes' potential involvement in state-sponsored programs or drug experiments.

The Aurora theater shooter James Holmes had reportedly been identified as a danger by his psychiatrist, Dr. Lynne Fenton, prior to the attack. The incident is being used to advocate for "common sense" legislation that would integrate mental health records into law enforcement databases. The hosts warn that this system will eventually be used to restrict other civil liberties, such as driving or employment.

Aurora shooting suspect James Holmes appears in court with a significantly different demeanor, appearing alert and well-groomed compared to his previous dazed state. Reporters speculate that his medication has been changed, though a gag order prevents confirmation. The hosts discuss the "stunning" physical transformation of the defendant.

The hosts discuss alternative theories regarding the Aurora theater shooting and the Jared Lee Loughner case. They mention "scopolamine" as a potential drug used for mind control and report on listener claims of shrapnel injuries that do not match official bullet reports. They speculate on whether the events were staged for media ratings or political purposes.

John C. Dvorak criticizes a CNN human interest segment featuring a 12-year-old girl who survived the Aurora movie theater shooting. He argues the footage was staged and exploitative, focusing on the girl's trauma regarding popcorn and loud noises. The hosts suggest the media is using the "Joker" meme to maximize the emotional impact of the tragedy.

A comparison of photos featuring Aurora theater shooter James Holmes suggests potential discrepancies between his original appearance and his courtroom appearance with orange hair. Observations focus on differences in nose shape and ear structure, leading to claims of psychological programming or the use of a body double. The discussion highlights how mugshots typically focus on ears as unique identifiers similar to fingerprints.

An eyewitness account of the Aurora shooting is scrutinized for its use of specific technical language, such as "casualties" and "10-24" location codes. The witness describes a man propping open an emergency door and signaling someone during the movie trailers. The hosts question the validity of the testimony, suggesting the witness sounds like an intelligence plant or a trained professional.
