"Look, this is the time to talk about all of it. Everything should be on the table. Anything that could possibly help mitigate these terrible events. I’m not even saying gun control would do it. It’s just got to be part of the conversation."

In early July, Mr. Holmes ordered a Blackhawk Urban Assault Vest, a knife and two magazine holders from a Web site called Tactical Gear, according to an order slip provided by the company’s chief executive, Chad Weinman. He chose expedited two-day delivery to his apartment in the eastern Denver suburb of Aurora, where the shootings took place early Friday, just a few miles from Mr. Holmes’s apartment.


‘I think it conveys a sense of urgency and shows premeditation,’ Mr. Weinman said in an interview, adding that the company was ‘deeply saddened’ its gear had apparently been used in a mass killing.

The New York Times does not indicate whether Mr. Weinman’s company plans to stop selling murder accessories.

"Speaking on behalf of the cast and crew of The Dark Knight Rises, I would like to express our profound sorrow at the senseless tragedy that has befallen the entire Aurora community. I would not presume to know anything about the victims of the shooting, but that they were there last night to watch a movie. I believe movies are one of the great American art forms and the shared experience of watching a story unfold on screen is an important and joyful pastime. The movie theatre is my home, and the idea that someone would violate that innocent and hopeful place in such an unbearably savage way is devastating to me. Nothing any of us can say could ever adequately express our feelings for the innocent victims of this appalling crime, but our thoughts are with them and their families."
