Not only no, but what IS getting slaughtered right now is the news. While there are moment by moment updates on police disarming devices in the shooter's apartment, Sheriff Arpaio's news release has been blown off the front page, along with the UN Arms treaty and any other 'stuff' not deemed newsworthy during this 'crisis'.

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...

tbe theater was a pen full of helpless sheep and the shooter was the wolf. Where were the sheep dogs? They were muzzled at the front door.

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.

“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.
