Aurora Shooting

[That_Guy]

I think he is playing the insanity thing because he did get a degree in neurology, which I think that would help him out and know what to do to to make his insanity be more believable

[puniraptor]

maybe he was doing nutty brain experiments on himself trying to acheive the next level or something and mumped his brain up

Well looks like the University of Colorado is going to get sued off the face of the earth now:

probably not since it was unopened.  Now if they had opened it, and had any idea this was coming...........

While I agree with the idea that we should be able to carry in more places, this guy was a lunatic and he was going to do that regardless.  A private citizen might have mitigated some of it, but it still would have happened.

Exactly, this dude was planning on getting shot at. He was armored to the point where any carry gun a person would be likely to have would be ineffective. Of course, he may have pissed himself and ran the instant someone started shooting back.

Did he say anything about how a duck is almost 5 times more likely to be shot at if it can also shoot back?

I shook down ever potential loon I saw at last night's late night batman showing.  Turned out most of them were just fat social weirdos.

[CNS]

LOL at the thought of half the people I know who own a gun being able to hit the guy half a theater away through smoke, fear, chaos, and panic.

The only thing that would have helped is if a cop, FBI, etc type was in the audience and packing. 

Your neighbor who deer hunts would have been killed as soon as he peeled off and missed 3 rounds in rapid succession and drew the lunatic's attention.

We don't need more retards carrying guns to the movies.  Most of them can't work their cellphone in the dark.

hey dumbfuck, so you think that some untrained chode would pull out his gun and successfully stop the shooter when there are hundreds of people running around in chaos, smoke in the air, and his/her adrenaline pumping?  chances are way more likely that the dumbass hick would have shot someone who was running for their life.

eff you cns casey, i thought it first.

eff yeah.  Most dangerous game and crap.  "[T]here is no hunting like the hunting of man and those who have hunted armed men long enough and liked it, never really care for anything else thereafter." - Hemingway; also Adrien Brody's character in Predators said it.

The thought of the type of people who probably have C&C licenses trying to be heroes and engage in a firefight is probably more terrifying than any alternative.

eff you cns casey, i thought it first.

Yeah, right after you got in your time machine and went back 2 whole entire min. 

[shivvyman]

What a bunch of pathetic pussies on this board.

1) If more people are carrying, then yes, I do believe the chances of this kid walking into the movies and blowing people away are reduced. Obviously, he didn't turn the gun on himself afterwards. He still wanted to live. He didn't go into the theatre with the intent of being harmed or dying.

2) True, I don't think most people would be able to effectively combat the shooter if they were carrying. However, I do feel they could effectively reduce the total loss of life. If I start popping off shots from the side and he sees me, his firepower gets aimed in my direction. Sure, I may go down, but I buy everyone a little more time to escape/evade to safety.

What are the risks? Your hero with a CC permit does take out a crowd member. It could happen, but to this date, there has yet to be a reported shooting incident where an innocent bystandard was killed by a CC holder using his weapon.

Take a gander at this and see if you still feel the same: http://www.gainesville.com/article/20120716/ARTICLES/120719707.  Make sure you watch the video.

Game, set, old guy with a gun.

unfortunately, people are following your advice. yeah, this is what we need, untrained jittery civilians carrying guns everywhere.

from an article about the unopened notebook he sent to the professor/pschiatrist

Both sources said the intended recipient of Holmes’ notebook was a professor who also treated patients at the psychiatry outpatient facility, located in Building 500, where the first suspicious package was delivered. It could not be verified that the psychiatrist had had previous contact with Holmes, who was a dropout from the school’s neuroscience doctoral program and had studied various mental health issues and ailments as part of his curriculum.

Armed human vs. armed duck?  Pffft, still not even a challenge.  Please post this in the What Animals Do You Think You Could Take in a Fight Thread.

i'm sure the guy with bulletproof clothing covering 100% of his body would care about some hick with a pistol who probably wouldn't even hit him.
