Hey Doomberg,
Kiss my smelly Obama.
An armed audience might have stopped him.
Give everyone 16oz sodas to throw. They’re dangerous weapons.
So they ban handguns, semi-automatic weapons, etc. But they allow hunting rifles and shotguns. I then suppose a deranged killer, like Holmes, wouldn’t use those weapons do murder people? I guarantee you, if Holmes only had a very legal pump shotgun, he could have killed just as many or more people than he did kill. And since he knew about explosives, what would have stopped him from throwing a molotov cocktail or some other type of bomb into the audience? Nothing. Nothing except a law enforcement officer OR AN ARMED CITIZEN!!! can stop a deranged killer.
Bump for later reading.
Good article that highlights the obvious fact that there is simply no way to prevent a person like James Holmes from committing mass murder. He had no criminal record, no association with any terrorist group and was never considered psychotic. That is, until he began randomly killing people in a movie theater last week. Too late, then. So, all the restrictions on gun ownership that most people agree on would have been useless against a psycho like Holmes. Of course the left doesn’t want restrictions, they want private ownership of guns totally outlawed. Arrogant leftists like New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg are using a tragedy to score political points. What else is new? Bloomberg can go pound sand.
Can anyone make demands like this or just the Mayor of NYC? What is the penalty for not meeting his demands?
***New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg demanded that the two major parties’ presidential candidates explain how they plan to prevent such senseless outbursts of violence. ****
I supposed Bloomberg would be thrilled if Holmes had driven his auto up to the theater exit and set of a big bomb killing everyone in several theaters. He could grandstand about how no one was shot!
Despot Bloomberg can say all he wants, but the fact remains 2nd Amendment infringement does nothing but get people killed. That’s where the argument starts and ends. Put it this way; Despot Bloomberg waltzes around town with armed bodyguards. If some nut suddenly ran up to him waving a machete, would he want his guards armed or disarmed?
Given the outrages he has perpetrated on the public, when is New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg going to get professional psychiatric help?
I’m not even sure that there is a current description of a mentally ill person who tries to “externalize” their internal conflicts by forcing others to do what they personally need to do but don’t.
For example, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg consumes such unhealthy levels of salt that food served in the Mayor’s mansion is inedible to normal people. And after being told that consuming so much salt is bad for *him*, his response is to try and limit other people’s consumption of salt.
This is mentally ill.
Bloomberg also has “issues” with cigarettes, so he tries to make them prohibitively expensive in NYC. And he is dreadfully afraid of assassination, so he surrounds himself with a heavily armed phalanx of bodyguards. But he also wants to take guns away from everyone else.
This is all characteristic of mental illness. New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s mental illness. And until he is treated for his mental illness, he is a public threat or menace.

“I’m convinced that we have to have federal legislation to build on. We’re going to have to take one step at a time, and the first step is necessarily — given the political realities — going to be very modest. Of course, it’s true that politicians will then go home and say, ‘This is a great law. The problem is solved.’ And it’s also true that such statements will tend to defuse the gun-control issue for a time. So then we’ll have to strengthen that law, and then again to strengthen that law, and maybe again and again. Right now, though, we’d be satisfied not with half a loaf but with a slice. Our ultimate goal — total control of handguns in the United States — is going to take time. My estimate is from seven to ten years. The problem is to slow down the increasing number of handguns sold in this country. The second problem is to get them all registered. And the final problem is to make the possession of all handguns and all handgun ammunition — except for the military, policemen, licensed security guards, licensed sporting clubs, and licensed gun collectors — totally illegal.”

“Yes, I’m for an outright ban [on handguns].”

And rifles are already in their sights.
“The NRA is a rifle organization! They should give up their handguns and they can keep their rifles!”-Lee Grant on GMA.
“We only want to control handguns. Rifles and shotguns will not be affected”.-HCI from about 1980.
“Today we make America safe by taking guns out of the hands of criminals.”-Lyndon Johnson when he signed the 1968 gun control act into law.
I can think of several things:
I am sure other can think of other correctives.
Romney: "I've decided Democrats have been right all along. People act out because they're economically disenfranchised. Therefore, my administration will prevent this senseless violence by fixing the damage Barack Obama's done to the economy."
