Looks like the democrats have finally found their issue. GUN CONTROL. Secretly they smile for they think they have been delivered an issue thanks to “the joker”.
What? The theater where this shooting occurred was the pinnacle of gun control.
Shut the **** up, Mike.
I do not want or need the protection of you or anyone like you has to offer.
If I empower you to protect me, Mike, then who will protect me from you?
Oddly enough when they want to increase security what do they do? Bring in people with guns. Yet they want us to feel safer without our firearms?
But the campaign to stop smoking on television and movies had been fairly successful...the thinking being, if kids don't see it on the screen, they're less likely to copy the behavior.
But isn't it amazing how the libs, even when a killer publicly declares himself to be a hollywood movie character as he kills innocent victims, can't seem to make the obvious connection, but instead, dust off the old reliable NRA straw boogey man.
If seeing people smoke on the big screen cause kids to start smoking, then if one were being consistent, wouldn't hollywood violence lead to real life violence? Jusaskin'
Someone I follow on Twitter said it best..
Liberals use the CO shooting as reason 4 gun control. Funny, they didn’t use 9/11 to call 4 rejecting Islam
Liberals are hypocrites but we already know this
Dam this all the way back to star wars. How long vegas over under till ya get groped for a movia?
I’ve read that the theater was a “gun-free zone,” i.e., a zone where citizens are legally disarmed against sociopathic freaks. It’s also been reported that there were members of the military (with gun training) at the theater during this midnight showing (some of whom would have brought guns, if the theater allowed it.) Even with the tear gas, if there were multiple military at that showing, it’s likely that one of them would have got off the shot, preventing some or most of the fatalities and non-fatal injuries. Thus, the movie theater’s “gun-free zone” policy is a likely cause of some of these fatalities and injuries, most particularly the ones that occurred later in time, when the element of surprise - and the tear gas - dissipated, at least to some extent.
All of this is the predicate for a negligence/wrongful death suit against the corporate entity that owns the theater. That corporation, or its agents, corralled the victims into a forseeably dangerous situation, made dangerous by that corporation’s idiotic “gun-free” policy.
It is an obvious case of powerful socialists disarming the population inside the theater, which is what allowed one prepared but relatively untrained nutcase to kill so many. I just care about individuals, unlike liberals, so I think the emphasis should be on remembering the dead now and politics later.
Never let a tragedy go to waste!
Isikoff... the same a**hole whose fake “korans in the toilet at GITMO” story set off riots in multiple countries and endangered our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.. not to mention the many dozens of deaths that occurred from that rioting.
I hope a special place in hell awaits him.
Demonizing the NRA for all thier “30 second I have formed an opinion on the lies you feed us daily” drones
Oh good grief, now its going to be the endless ‘theater security gap’ debates designed solely to take the guns against law abiding citizens.
Tax paying citizens are more in danger of black flash mobs coordinating their attacks with free Obama phones...
...debate that!
I’m not sure Mitt can win this election; however, presuming he does, I predict in Sotero’s lameduck session of Nov/Dec, he’ll issue the executive order to reinstate the AWB, then when Romney rolls in January, he will not have the guts to reverse it.
If the NRA were to disappear tomorrow, it wouldn’t make the slightest bit of difference in the laws. The people are voting for pro gun laws and the NRA has nothing to do with it.
If NBC were dead and gone, America would be a much better place. Issacoff is an American enemy the likes of a Hezbollah shiek
It’s hard to protect theaters when no guns are allowed.
That’s got nothing to do with the NRA.
The media needs to do this kind of pontificating/editorializing because people in the real world know if somebody in that theatre would've had a CCW, there would've been a lot less bloodshed.
