Re: Gunman kills 12 in Colorado movie theater
The bad guys will always manage to get guns or some other method of killing people. The whole point of guns is giving people a method of protecting themselves. The flip side of that is it could turn into the wild, wild west if everybody has a gun.

Pretty fucked up that someone would choose a place of comfort, escapism, and entertainment as a place for murder. I feel bad for the families, friends and relatives of those killed and wounded.
I feel bad for Christopher Nolan too, that this may impact negatively on what is one of his best films.

Actually the point of assault rifles and automatic weapons is so far from protecting yourself it's not even funny.
On the topic of gun laws because I've been seeing it pop up all over the internet but it's so frustrating to see people completely ignore the fact that strict gun laws do help. Not saying more strict gun laws can pervent these types of incidents because they can't but ask whyis the number of gun related crimes per capita in the States is so much higher than a country like Canada? It's cause we have gun registry laws and people don't have this dellusioanl thought process that Guns protect and we don't cling to this wild wild west idea of "everyone has the right to bare arms" You can't just geta gun at the drop of a dime here and whether people want to acknowledge it or not that does impact the number of gun related crimes. But again how dare the government try to take away the rights of the people to "protect themselves"

Re: Gunman kills 12 in Colorado movie theater
I am thinking I might start carrying a gun. Had someone shot back perhaps maybe only 5 die instead of 12. Since I can control what I do and not the crazies, perhaps a gun is a good idea.

Good point, but he would have had to adjust and that Teflon shit isn't perfect. It may have stalled him enough for someone to tackle him and be Jason bourne esque

Yeah, you're not getting it. I certainly didn't endorse automatic weapons. Frankly, I don't like guns at all. But the bad guys will always get them no matter what the laws are. In some cases, our gov't will give them to them.
