12 Dead 58 Wounded at Premiere of Dark Knight

[vandeleur]

A trained concealed carrier in the theater would have had a good chance of taking this idiot out and thus reducing the death toll...

you might be missing the point ... more guns ?? you gonna have one in every public building ?
good job that wont cost

[ELVIS]

I'm not missing the point...

[ELVIS]

Soon we will have to arrive at the theater two hours early with our shoes off...

That story is being ran by dozens of press entities right now, but it's HuffPo that should be ashamed ?

Are you saying that they shouldn't be?

[Va Beach VH Fan]

Are you saying that they shouldn't be?

In my opinion? It's an on-the-record statement by a U.S. Congressman, don't see why it not newsworthy....

It further illustrates that Gohmert Pile is an idiot. THAT is not news.

Booby trap...???? google translation "trapped by boobies" but seriously its Friday

[FORD]

This could be just a coincidence, of course..... but isn't it odd that this tragedy happens less than 24 hours after Mush Limpdick's insane oxycontin addled rant about the Batman movie being anti Romney political propaganda, because the villain character is named "Bain".

[ELVIS]

Maybe it's an anti-gun false flag...

[FORD]

Is that the Alex Jones spin on it?

"Aurora police Chief Dan Oates said the suspect wore a gas mask, a ballistic helmet and vest as well as leg, groin and throat protectors. He said he had an AR-15 military-style, semi-automatic rifle, a shotgun and two pistols."

It would have taken one hell of a shot for someone with a CCW to take this guy down. He was more than prepared.

What a horrible and sad situation.

Is that the Alex Jones spin on it?

He hasn't declared that quite yet, but he's getting there...

Only in America ! As always. The most violent fucked up country in the world ! And I have never owned a gun in my life GUNS DO KILL PEOPLE BUT A PERSON HAS TO PULL THE TRIGGER ! As much as I hate Ted Nugent's politics he couldn't be more correct ! Not that he came up with the stat's. But he doe's have the balls to defend them. We let too many sick fucks like this walk around this country ! The family members of the victums should be allowed to torture this sick fuck ! I don't care about the mentally ill talk !

Is that the Alex Jones spin on it?

No question.

For those who think that more armed people in the theater would have been a GOOD thing, just remember this detail from the Gabby Giffords shooting in Tucson....

One of the witnesses there was armed. He admitted that he came very close to shooting who he THOUGHT was the gunman, but later turned out to be someone who had managed to get the gun away from the psycho Laughner when he was attempting to reload. There very easily could have been two murderers on the scene that day, had this guy followed through with his impulse.

And that was in broad Arizona daylight in an open parking lot, mind you. A darkened enclosed space such as a movie theater only adds to the possibility of things getting even more fucked up in an already fucked up situation. More guns isn't the answer.
