What if gang members had blown their whistles and got the guy with their sideways aim, would gun nuts be cool with that? You know, more guns protecting us and all.

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.

Yes only a cop, FBI type could have saved lives and not taken an innocent by accident just ask the Tillman family. They are all snipers with sidearms.

2 tickets to Dark Knight please. 1 for me and 1 for the Judge. And I'd say "all rise!"

This is why people should be allowed to carry RPGs into movie theaters. Orange hair would've thought twice about his little stunt if he knew he was walking into a theater full of grenade wielding citizens prepared to defend themselves. Would you go hunting if the birds had RPGs and were capable of aiming and firing them? No, you wouldn't.

Dumbass.

Look, I am just saying that I don't want some armed redneck sitting next to me who's only gun training is a childhood of A-Team and a little time in the back field where half the instruction starts with "Hold my beer and watch this..." and ends with "eff yeah(high fives)".

Full disclosure: I own guns. I have used them all my life. And, I don't feel like I would be qualified to safely take the guy out given the circumstances without possibly harming others.

Look, if you are looking to measure dicks, I bet there are other boards for that.

Reality in sitch's like this is that no change in gun policy is best. Stupid stuff happens and no matter how well you plan, you can't control stupid or insanity. So, when this happens, you feel bad, hope it doesn't happen to you, and move on. You don't lobby to legislate against insanity. Statistical outliers will always exist.

Emo EMAW · « **Reply #141 on:** July 25, 2012, 05:26:08 PM »

Count me as a self aware gun nut. If any of you have fired a CCW weapon you'd know it's pretty effing hard to hit a moving head sized target in the dark at much more than 5 or 10 feet away, especially when he's shooting back with a high powered semi-automatic rifle.

Nice evasion, I take from your comments that everyone should be able to arm without regulation. B/c you can't regulate against insanity, then you must let the sane choose whether they arm or not.

I do feel bad, this bad person had bigger plans with bringing down a building with innocent people as well to distract authorities as he got away. The violence displayed in this act should dealt with the most harsh penalties and I believe there should be more than just the shooter punished. Someone else knew he was at the very least capable of this, if not then what the eff is the agency known as Homeland Security cashing checks for?

It's the only rational one to have. I mean, either that or we give everyone a gun, take guns away from everyone, or we could stage large metal detectors, xray machines, and pat down areas at all public places.

I think a good gift for the President would be a chocolate revolver. And since he's so busy, you'd probably have to run up to him real quick and hand it to him.

You don't seem to be the best at reading. Current policy is to not let the known insane arm. Current policy is to not let everyone arm. I am saying that you shouldn't take it away and that it shouldn't be more open. Reasonable control is what is best. Reason is what is missing from people who want it all or nothing in either direction.

I am in Colorado and I don't see too many people I'd want packing heat everywhere they went.

I assume there are states where there are CC laws and we can look at stats that these people are probably not popping off shots all over town so I am not really opposed to them but to think they'd really lessen the death toll when someone like Jerry the Joker from losing his crap is not reality.

I think permits to carry should take a lot of effort to get and be really expensive though. Rich people are just more responsible.

Colorado allows CC permits, the problem is the movie theatre was designated as a gun-free zone. Those places where firearms are permissible/non-permissible needs to be vetted more thoroughly.
