The "assault rifle" is always the target when this stuff happens. Because Hand guns, shotguns and rifles aren't dangerous.Those guys arguing for strict regulation of gun sales - wouldn't this guy likely have qualified for a weapon still under those despite the law? After all, the guy was a good student, citizen, no priors, bright, etc.
Not that anyone has posted about
The point has been made several times today that if crazy people want to kill, they'll do it regardless of regulations or the availability of weapons. The only thing that can really be done is try to spot the signs sooner.
not shiny phallus surrogates that wreak deadly havoc with the spray of their discharge. that'd why Al Qaeda has to package virgins to get guys to blow themselves up.
he was making a statement about gun control
This. While any kind of gun control probably wouldn't make a dent on criminal activity as a whole, I absolutely believe it would curtail these kinds of killings. It's at least worth looking into. All the guys that commit these kinds of crimes are antisocial losers that wouldn't be able to establish black market connections. Forcing them to use other kinds of weapons is at least pushing the goalposts back, because nothing's as easy as firing a gun.

We were out shooting on a buddy's farm and they had small metal "spinning" targets. In our group were a Memphis PD officer and two guardsmen who are very active shooters. We took turns emptying clips from a Springfield XD40 (these guys sidearm of choice) at the target and at the distance we were at they would hit it 30pct of the time.... I'd hit about 20pct of the time. My girl walks up and hits at around a 50pct clip using a tiny keltec 9mm concealed carry I got her. Crazy. She hit 98pct on her concealed carry test.Then once the sun set we broke out the assault rifles fitted with milspec IR laser sighting and the military issue battle helmets with current gen night vision monacles mounted up and moved a case of green tips into the treelike (including some tracer rounds). I gotta say it's pretty fun to be able to unload a clip into what is complete darkness to the gallery, but you see the laser and target as clear as day, and can flat out turn a target to dust while aiming loosely from the hip. Helluva weapon.
A regulatory law against private ownership of assault weapons wouldn't have made ANY difference whatsoever?
### #### constitution
I don't believe so. No.
I predict you wont
This turd lost his rights.### #### constitution
No, sorry. This thread never went off the rails. It's been good since the beginning.
Unfortunately we will be paying the bill ($ millions) to keep this turd in prison for the next 60+ years.
This is what death row should be about. Stop making mistakes with people who are questionable. Here's a definite. Get it done!
I hear ya.
who would you like to see make the decision that the guy should be put to death tomorrow?
amen. ### #### constitution.This turd lost his rights.### #### constitution
The police were there in minutes and found him outside at his car and he gave up without a fight.
He has no reason to cooperate, and likely doesn't give a rat's ### about his own life as he's achieved what he set out to do. He's likely getting perverse pleasure from the attention and patting himself on the back for surviving it to see it.I'm as much if not more anti-death-penalty than anyone here.Fry his ###.
Me. I could make these calls with zero remorse.
Me too. Open and shut case here boys. Crime happens in the morning and that will be the last sunrise he sees. By midnight he will be buried.
Canada, but that is not why I am commenting here.While I feel it should be harder for people to own, carry, sell guns, this was a well thought out planned attack. He knew what he was doing. He was going to get his hands on these guns. He knew how to cause a confusion. You won't hear it on the news, but this was a Cimemark, which all the Cimemarks I have been in im LA has a no gun/carry policy. What does Columbine, VA Tech, Ohio School, this movie theater have in common? They all occured in no gun zones where law bidding citizens follow the rules.We just hear of an elderly man with a CCP stopping an armed robbery in Florida this week. It may have been a big media driven story if those two went into the internet cafe and shot as many people as they could.
I can see you up on the stage right now in your evening gown, hair done all nice and teeth sparkling as you answer the question with, "World Peace". The crowd applauses and you take your place in the back.
The death row inmates cost the most.
Only because they are not executed immediately.
Our legal system has a lot of problems, but it's still far superior to most.Of course in this case it would be nice to see him executed immediately, but overall our system, while not perfect, is better then pretty much any others.
Clifford keeps bring up other countiries figure out what it is they do. Does China have this much violence. If this happened, the media would cover the full day public torture, allowing victim's family members take a couple of swings with a bat publicly, humiliate him publicly, then behead him publicly. Then the president would come on and say, "To all of those planning some crazy #### for your 15 minutes of fame, I'll give you a full day."
You should apply for an Obamacare death panel in your area.
One innocent for the life of 12 innocent victims.
Tell you what, if there would have been a few people with concealed carry weapons in that theater, then he may not have gotten so many shots off. The law-abiding populace needs MORE guns, not less. The criminals and crazies will always have access to weapons. It is the law-abiding people who get hurt by gun control laws. Or do you think that criminals really pay attention to them?
The guy is not crazy.
Save your money. The movie sucks.
Not sure I understood your post, but if the gov. were allowed to torture all convicted murderers, I'm sure the count of wrongly convicted tortured would eventually go over 12. While we can tell the difference between a guy like this that definitely did it, and someone who probably did it (some doubt but not necessarily reasonable doubt), I don't have the first idea how you put it into writing and enforce it. And creating two classes of guilty people is going down a strange road.
