But one guy with a CC permit and a clear line of fire might have saved some lives that day. |

It really makes me sad to think this is almost becoming a common event and whereas before I had no opinion on gun control, I do now but I'll save it for a rainy day. |

I would certainly look for psychoactive drugs. Most mass shooters were on one of the SSRIs. It seems to me that these mass shootings happen more often during Democrat administrations. Perhaps it's because the Democrat rulers damage the psyche of our society so badly that some people are pushed over the edge into hopeless rage. Thankfully it's only a very few it happens to, we have enough insane Democrats in this country. O_o TDD |

Within the piece, he pooh-poohed concealed carry laws by noting that no one in the theater shot back at the gunman. But Ebert misses an important point. The Cinemark theater chain has a "gun-free zone" policy. In the NYT, Ebert chided America for allowing gun ownership for the common man. That James Holmes is insane, few may doubt. Our gun laws are also insane, but many refuse to make the connection. The United States is one of few developed nations that accepts the notion of firearms in public hands. In theory, the citizenry needs to defend itself. Not a single person at the Aurora, Colo., theater shot back, but the theory will still be defended. [emphasis added] Of course, if Ebert had bothered to check before trying to use this murderous crime for his own anti-Second Amendment purposes, he may have found that no one could have shot back, because the theater chain does not allow its customers to carry guns in its theaters. As it happens, the Century 16 theaters at 14300 E. Alameda Ave in Aurora, Colorado are owned by Cinemark Century Theaters, headquartered in Plano, Texas, and for several years this chain movie theater has told customers they are not welcome to bring their firearms into theaters. Back in 2009, an Alaska-based member of a gun owner's message board going by the handle SubNine reported that he tried to enter a Cinemark owned theater with his open carry weapon but was told he was not allowed to enter the premises armed because the chain had a no-weapons policy. It was a "gun-free zone," he was told by the manager. A year before the above post, another message board started a similar conversation. In 2008, the Open Carry forums also noted Cinemark's "gun-free zone" policy. One message board member even communicated via email with a Dan Meyers at the corporate offices of Cinemark. That corporate official confirmed the restriction and added that only police officers could carry their concealed weapons into Cinemark theaters. He also asked gun owners not to bother complaining to them about the policy. So, as Ebert scoffs that no one returned fire at this theater and assumed that it that would diminish the efficacy of concealed carry laws, he didn't bother to find out if anyone was or even could be armed in that theater. Turns out they couldn't, but Ebert tried to use this crime and its tragic consequences for his own political purposes anyway. Operative word, "concealed". If it is concealed, how are the theater flunkys to know someone is entering with one? -- dadiOH ____________________________ Winters getting colder? Tired of the rat race?

Criminals intent on destruction don't care if they are using a stolen or otherwise illegal weapon or not. We are about 250 years too late for effective gun control. We already have enough laws to cover just about any situation, but the people doing evil don't care about them or obey them. I have no idea what the solution may be, but making more laws and stopping the sale of certain weapons at this point is not going to stop gun related crimes. |

Everything about this incident which has been released to the public as well as numerous survivors who have been interviewed stated that the gunman entered from the exit door... His activities prior to the event scream "lone wolf" rather than being a team player... The gunman had a redeemed prepaid ticket in his possession when\ arrested, so he was there in the theater prior to exiting to retrieve his body armor and weapons while he prepared for the main event... Since he had to go outside that means he had to use an exit door, the same door he later re-entered the theater through, so the simplest explanation that fits the known facts is that HE and not some unknown partner was the one who propped open the door... Where did you get your psychology diagnostic experience ? Was it from the same cracker-jack decoder ring that the newsmedia has been using to magically divine all the pop psychology reasons why this person could have done this ? Seriously some people just snap for no reason and do terrible things without being mentally ill or taking SSRIs... |

Back in 2009, an Alaska-based member of a gun owner's message board going by the handle SubNine reported that he tried to enter a Cinemark owned theater with his open carry weapon but was told he was not allowed to enter the premises armed because the chain had a no-weapons policy. It was a "gun-free zone," he was told by the manager. A year before the above post, another message board started a similar conversation. In 2008, the Open Carry forums also noted Cinemark's "gun-free zone" policy. One message board member even communicated via email with a Dan Meyers at the corporate offices of Cinemark. That corporate official confirmed the restriction and added that only police officers could carry their concealed weapons into Cinemark theaters. He also asked gun owners not to bother complaining to them about the policy. So, as Ebert scoffs that no one returned fire at this theater and assumed that it that would diminish the efficacy of concealed carry laws, he didn't bother to find out if anyone was or even could be armed in that theater. Turns out they couldn't, but Ebert tried to use this crime and its tragic consequences for his own political purposes anyway. Operative word, "concealed". *If it is concealed, how are the theater flunkys to know someone is entering with one? -- dadiOH ____________________________ Winters getting colder? *Tired of the rat race? Maybe just ready for a change? *Check it out...http://www.floridaloghouse.net Metal detector at the entrance/exits. *I've seen a couple reports in the news where some theaters are going to do it. Harry K ROFL... How will installing metal detectors at the main entrance in any way protect against someone going out the rear exit and then coming back in armed ? |

Now come up with a legal definition of an "assault type weapon". Noone has been able to do that yet. You can always tell an assault weapon. They "look" dangerous. If any gun law should be examined, it's high capacity clips. Of course some hunter may have a pressing need to fire off 100 shots at a time. Some of the people in the theater recounted how they tried to run for the exits while they thought the shooter was reloading. Lest I be accused of being anti-gun or pro-gun, I don't have strong opinions either way. -- Dan Espen |

It makes just as much sense and would at least be Constitutional. sadly they were outlawed for awile but were allowed again You're an idiot. What does the shape of the stock have to do with the lethality of a weapon? You do know that hunting rifles are just as lethal? Right? |

Got to be prepared to take action, when the moment happens. Why would a guy with a CC / CHL permit be any different than the unprepared sheeple? (Training, mindset, preparation, and....) You really should take a CCW class sometime even if you have no intention of pursuing the permit or purchasing a firearm. It would be educational, since often a lot of time in the classroom is spent familiarizing the first time shooter with running their firearm. The class is a one day affair, and if you're lucky you'll get to send a hundred rounds downrange. Then, in this state, you present your diploma and $50 to the sheriff who shall issue a permit. You can stop on your way home, buy a LCP and a box of shells, and stick it and your permit in your fanny pack, secure in the knowledge you can take on the world. That's a rather bleak overview. Some CCW holders are very competent and motivated; others put in a day at a class and there was no magical transformation to a skilled shooter able to react under extreme stress. |

While certainly possible, because they've broken the law by keeping themselves armed; I wouldn't think any district attorney in that area would follow thru if he had saved lives. Better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it. I'm not trying to make lite of what happened either. I'm deeply saddened by the individuals acts. No reason to have shot those people. -- I don't need no arms around me. And I dont need no drugs to calm me. I have seen the writing on the wall. Don't think I need anything at all. No!

The right to keep and bear arms is not based on "need".
