It will be exploited to try and ratify UN arms/gun treaty, expand TSA screening beyond airports.
Mayor DUMBberg has already spoke through his nether region. He seems to hate everything , soda, salt, brains, etc. All the signs of a possible lunatic. All this while traveling in a bullet-proof limo surrounded by highly armed bodyguards.
Take away guns and crazed fools like this one in Colorado will build bombs. In fact this man had the bomb making tools he needed to make one.
When there are insane people who want to kill for any reason, they will find a way.
You can restrict weapons to only people with no police record. This kid would have still gotten his weapons.
You can restrict everyone to one weapon only. This kid would have bought his weapon and enough clips, to continue firing, while reloading.
You can restrict ammo purchases to 100 rounds a month. The kid would have patiently bought 100 rounds each month for eighteen months, and had more than enough ammo to do his damage.
You can restrict weapons entirely, and the kid would have bought the ingredients to build a bomb from his local farm store, the drug store, or the grocery.
Thanks markomalley.
There’s only one law that could have prevented this tragedy, a law that would have guaranteed the rights of law abiding citizens to carry a ccw in the theater despite some stinking god damned sign posted on the front door that says otherwise. America has gone to hell. No law will protect you. People are eating each other. On a daliy basis, people are perpetrating vile acts of malice too heinous to describe. The streets of our cities are completely unsafe. More people were murdered in Chicago in the past 10 years than were killed in Afghanistan during the same period and Chicago has some of the strictest antigun laws in the country. Laws can not protect you or your family, only you can and if you don’t, that’s on you. As I type this, a .357 rests on my hip as it always does. If this SOB had gone off in my presence, tragedy would have been averted.
This guy was very smart, and a planner. Even without the AR-15, shotgun and pistols, he could have gone up into a tower like Charles Whitman at the U. of Texas. Just do it on the day of some festival or rally, with thousands of targets below him. Or, build bombs. Or, drive a big truck through a crowd at high speed. Etc etc etc.
When guns are outlawed only Eric Holder and his drug dealing South-of-the-Border outlaws will have guns.
Be careful. This was not your average nutcase like the perp in the Rep Giffords shooting.
This guy was very clear-headed, had a plan and would have been VERY hard to stop.
He had body armor, including leg guards and throat guards. He had a helmet, mask and used tear gas.
Just imagine trying to shoot this twit in a crowded theater, people panicking, using only a concealed pistol, from a distance, with tear gas clouding your vision and making you choke.
A concealed carrier would have been fairly ineffective against this guy.
This is the anarchist mentality --- they are not crazy, emotional loons, but meticulous planners and prepared for many eventualities.
The gunman is a registered Democrat! The lefties screaming about guns don’t seem to understand that Colorado’s laws allow gun purchases and that if Coloradans were so “gun happy” (as one moron wrote) then the entire theater would have risen up and shot the monster to death. He was the only one sneaking into the theater with guns. He’s a deranged murderer trying to become the center of the attention. That was his reasoning, look at me, pay attention to me. Even his own mother knew that her son was capable of such an act, she wasn’t surprised. Sadly, no one tried to find “help” for him. I doubt any mental health professional could have prevented these murders. Are there laws that his parents could have used to have him “committed” to an institution or even evaluated as a very dangerous person? Banning guns seems to be the only answer for the lefties, what a farce!
Notice the frequent reminders of the massacre at Columbine High School. One other commonality is that in both cases, bombs and/or destructive devices were left behind as part of the plan and in both cases the media focused on refining laws that prohibited possession of firearms and paid no attention to laws prohibiting destructive devices.
Another commonality is the so-called “assault weapon” ban. Advocates of that law jumped into high gear in the wake of the Columbine massacre, but a bit of fact checking would show that only two of the several weapons used in that killing would have been affected by the ban, putting aside how many other laws failed to protect those victims.
In the case of the Aurora massacre, of the three firearms used, only one was covered by the ban, and it is easily modified to comply with the ban.
But such trivialities has never stopped those who have other agendas from using mass murders as the basis to advance their cause.
You’re correct. Had he driven an SUV into the crowd outside the theater would there be calls to ban SUV’s and confiscate all the ones on the road now? Had he managed to bar all the doors and use 5 gallon gas cans to set the place on fire would there be calls to ban 5 gallon gas cans? Or ban doors that could be blocked from the outside? Typical lib blame the tool used and not the tool using it.
Helping keep mankind warm for 65 years.
Great. She just HAD to show you that!
You’ll forgive the twist of insult, but it’s funny anyway: How do you keep a dad busy? Show him Paint! hehe
