Mrs. Davis said this morning Mr. Davis began complaining he was constipated. Mrs. Davis said she helped Mr. Davis to the restroom where he spent approximately 20 minutes and she then helped him back to the bed. Mrs. Davis said Mr. Davis told her at this time that he "could not take this anymore" possibly referring to his physical condition. Mrs. Davis said Mr. Davis told her to turn off the light and to go to sleep. Mrs. Davis said she lay down on the couch and was dozing off when she heard a gunshot which she believed came from outside the residence. Mrs. Davis said she got up to check on Mr. Davis and found the gun on his chest, which she stated he always kept next to the bed.

The James Holmes Conspiracy Introduction The James Holmes Conspiracy has brought about contradicting views from those who do not believe the word of the government and media as evident through the link https://topdocumentaryfilms.com/james-holmes-conspiracy/. There have been arguments about the condition of his mind prior to the shooting in addition to controversies on whether he was the real shooter. Many tend to believe that he was not the shooter at all while others have confidence that he was not alone in the shooting. From the assessment of these contradicting views, I draw my belief that James Holmes at the time of shooting was simply a competent, cold-blooded murderer who was fully aware of his actions. Prior to the incident, he had no criminal record whatsoever.

As discussed by David Hemenway, director of Harvard 's Injury Control Research Center, in his book Private Guns, Public Health(2004), numerous studies have found that having a gun in the home is associated with an increased risk of unintentional firearm injury, suicide and homicide. Kates contends there is no evidence that American gun laws reduce violent crime, suicide or gun accidents, relying on a 2004 report of the National Academy of Sciences. That report, however, does not suggest that legislation is an ineffective means to address gun violence. On the contrary, the thrust of the report is that additional research is needed to identify which particular policies are most likely to stem firearm-related violence and crime.
