Fatal shooting at Denver screening of The Dark Knight Rises

[anatta]

Now you are just being absurd. Just make it easier to carry a concealed weapon. I carry mine almost always. Movie theater, car, etc. etc. Obviously there are places I do not take it, like an airplane. But, I carry it quite a bit. The beauty is that you wouldn't know it.

You see, in a society where it was easier to carry a concealed weapon, many would wonder who was packing and who wasn't and they would think twice. Of course nut jobs are nut jobs and no amount of gun control laws will change that.

The sad thing is that libtardiots always use events like these to further their nazi goals of unarming the citizenry. They can hardly conceal their glee. Like Rahmbo the ballerina always says "Never let a good tragedy go to waste"

But, whenever a Muslime terrorist attacks, we aren't supposed to jump to conclusions. Oh no, we are supposed to sit back and wait to hear all of the facts. We are supposed to be understanding.

Now, I would have probably been packing in that theater. What would I have done? I don't know. My guess is make sure that my family was safe and if I could have safely gotten a clean shot on the dirtbag, I would have taken it. But, nobody really knows what they will do in those types of situations. That is why it is always best to be prepared and think about them before they happen.

screed. I live in Florida, there are laws that say you can even prohibit a person from carrying a gun to work(although they have to keep it locked in the car.}

Th concealed carry hasn't stopped but a few crimes, and for everyone it did, chances are someone got killed - maybe Trayvon Martin rings a bell?
If you're trying to say "more guns would equate to less gun deaths" it's an absurdity res ipsa loquitur

Obviously the difference didn't make much difference in this case. The shooter was able to kill and injure as many as he did because he was not firing single shot.

Where are you getting that?

He had a shotgun, a rifle and two handguns (semi auto). where have you read otherwise?

 

[blackascoal]

this is not true. I have no wish to kill you, but I will if you intend to take away my rights. I sincerely hope it never comes to that.

Taking away your gun is not taking away your rights. You can buy another gun.

Even if someone is working politically to curb the proliferation of guns .. does that mean they should be killed?

I simply cannot understand the mindset of a group of people that willingly surrender their best tools to defend themselves.

A gun is not my best tool to defend myself .. which I've done rather well without a gun.

That's a paranoia that I have no understanding of.

Fuck I bought a gun at an auction the other week. No questions asked. I paid the money and left with the gun. I could go out right now and have pretty much the hand gun of choice with in a day. Now I can understand that to poorly educated right wingers filling out a form is a major challenge and would be a major difficulty for you but for us literate people it's not really a significant challenge.

Why did you buy a gun? Are you a collector? Did you break any laws?

How old is the gun?

I heard that the shooter had automatic or semi-automatic weapons ..which would be assumed given the number of people that he shot .. but more importantly, I don't understand the point of what kind of gun he had.

He had the kind or enough of them to kill a lot of people and injure a lot more.

 

[anatta]

most of those gun deaths are gang related, so most people are just not going to give a damn. at least half of the others might have been prevented had other people been around to defend themselves with their own guns.

Ya. fine. beleive what you wanna beleive.

Ever had a gun pointed at your chest? I have. what good would it do for me to have a gun with me? Am I supposed to "quickdraw" myself out of a fatal shot?

I get SO TIRED OF THE CIRCULAR LOGIC "MORE GUNS EQUAL LESS GUN DEATHS"

Seems to me the gun saved Jorge Zimmermans life. Thanks for proving my point. Maybe you like having your head slammed into a sidewalk

*yeppers* I think too many ppl have seen too many westerns.

maybe old Georgie wouldn't have been quite so cocky and gotten out of the truck to begin with?
Travon was a big dude -Zimmerman was older and smaller - if he didn't have his gun, maybe he wouldn't have confronted Martin?

Anyways I don't wanna get lost in the weeds, and make this about Zimmerman, derails the thread -sorry.

Was everyone supposed to bring their guns into the movie?

The guy starts shooting and everybody pull out your guns and start blazing away in the chaos?

Let's all walk around with our fingers on the trigger .. just in case?

The bulk of the victims he shot with the shotgun and rifle. People were f'd up by the gas he threw in there and he simply kept shooting at the exits. Quit assuming. Either discuss what actually happened or don't.

He had the kind or enough of them to kill a lot of people and injure a lot more.

Yes, he had four guns. Now do go on telling us how making guns illegal would have stopped him. If people are intent upon such killing, he could have just as easily made a home made bomb and tossed that in. That too is easy to do.

Making guns illegal just means that only criminals will have them.

Westerns .. that's where Americans learn history.

Educated by Warner Brothers.

Works for me

Just shoot it out, in a dark movie theater, ya. that's a GOOD idea.

The guy was sure that he had a very high likelihood that nobody would be armed though, and chose a place it would take a while for the guys with guns to get to. One dude with a CCW could have, at the very least, limited the damage. The dude was wearing a bullet proof vest though and did smoke the place as he entered... I suspect he would have focused on the dude with a gun and that itself may have saved some others.

When seconds count the cops are minutes away.

Tell me, you have been very successful without guns. Many people have, but what would you do to defend yourself in this scenario?

What difference does it make what kind of guns he had or how he killed them?

He had guns and he murdered innocent people with those guns irrespective of their type.

AND, with all due respect, I'm going to discuss this anyway I choose to .. just like you.

Yes, he had four guns. Now do go on telling us how making guns illegal would have stopped him. If people are intent upon such killing, he could have just as easily made a home made bomb and tossed that in. That too is easy to do.

You have me confused brother. I'm not trying to convince you of a single thing. You can have, keep, and love just as many guns as you choose.

However, I'm giving MY opinion of a gun-loving society .. supported by the statistics that demonstrate the horrors of a gun-loving society.

Your paranoia about somebody taking your guns is not my issue and not my problem.

 

[canceled.2021.1]

We should ban tear gas too. Liberals are such reactionary idiots whose first response is too limit freedom. Now if there unborn babies getting shot up, the libs here would be standing up applauding the killers commitment to Roe v Wade and his right to choose

Would it be better to just be a target?

I simply cannot understand the mindset of a group of people that willingly surrender their best tools to defend themselves.

There is something fundamentall wrong with someone who believes a weapon, any weapon, is the best tool to defend themselves. The reality is, is that it is a tool of last resort and one of the least affective tools to defend oneself.

good point. the fact that you have to pose this question shows there is a problem with the abundence of guns.

Yes. 1 person with a CCPermit could have taken ou the shooter - but it was a movie theater, the guy used smoke, and suppose this person with the CCPermit missed?

Start a shoot out in a movie theater, supose other ppl bring out their guns? then you have ppl shooting each other. Mass confusion.

It's a problem with no good solution, i justy don't buy into "everybody get a gun" is going to solve this
