Poll asks: Would stricter gun-control laws have prevented the movie-theater shooting in Colorado? Yes or No.
I noticed that immediately. The Miami Herald must be a real commie rag.
While I offer my prayers for the victims and their friends and families, I'm trying to watch what 'the other hand' is doing while they are not letting this crisis go to waste.
The question is: Would stricter “gun-control” laws prevent a homicidal maniac from killing innocent people?
The answer is no.
Would there have been less/no loss of life if movie goers were carrying?
The answer is yes.
Some sources said tear gas, some said smoke. I’m not sure that has been cleared up, but tear gas sounds more sensational...
The theater and its parent company are responsible for requiring their patrons to be defenseless. None of them had any chance of stopping this with equal force.
Been there.
FReeped that.
BTTT!

"It's so simple even a republican can figure it out. Just pass a law making it
illegal to break the gun laws we already have. Now pass that blunt over here."
On non .gov and .us property I carry anyway. If asked to leave, I leave.

Done.
“WHAT LAWS ???? WE DON’T NEED NO STINKIN’ LAWS!”
(rallying cry from Chicago thugs and Cartel gang members and anyone who buys weapons and or ammo over the internet!)
The shooter bought his huge ammo stockpile on the NET!!!
Hey, Bloomberg, why don’t you BAN the Internet!!
“When criminals have internet, only criminals will have the internet.” ...or something like that..ha.
“I refuse to patronize businesses that require me to disarm to enter their property. I also politely inform them why.”
In KY, they may have “stores” that don’t permit concealed weapons, but all they can do is request you leave their property in the event they know it. It’s not illegal to carry in those places—only a private property rights issue.
Then again, if one is probably concealed, they wouldn’t know anyway.
Stupid poll. What are these stricter gun control laws they are talking about? The laws they already had seemed to have prevented anyone from stopping the shooter. Maybe they could pass a law allowing the theater to tie the patrons to their seats.
Properly—not probably...sheesh.
