It also preys on folks fears and sympathies when a tragedy occurs.
Isn't it a bit hypocritical that whenever we have a CC citizen prevent such atradgedy, Bloomberg and His type do not call for more of them or forthe president to "get tough" on crimminals but as soon as some Ass wipe takes advantage of a gun free zone to ambush innocents, his bark is heard accross the land.
Chicago is a gun free zone. Was so when i lkived there. Only place i've ever seen the business end of a 38 pistol. Twice
This murder capitol of the nation is a bloodbath this summer. Raum Emmanual, all for aggressive gun control, is too busy preventing honest folks from having an honest vote this election. He should do something about the crimminal elementin his city.
It should be easy, but he would have to profile them. Perhaps it is via a professinal courtesy that he lets them run loose in the city.
Once again CA, two very good points.More guncontrol? And here I thought it was giant fountain drinks that killed people.
Another hypocritical thing is that the Hollywood actors that make mega CA by being in super violent fims are so antigun!
Frank IMHO, that might have been your initial reaction as it might be a lot of ours in a "hypothetical situation" , but somehow although i dont know you, i feel like you would do whatever it took to protect folks you dont even know, know matter the cost. Just an observation from the many posts i have seen you make, here and elsewhere.More gun control???? I think that this is a perfect example why we need less gun control.
I don't know but I suspect that the theater had a "no firearms" policy, ie., a 100% gun control. This lunatic could walk about the place with complete impunity killing 15 people and wounding 50 plus more and not take one, not one incoming round. I know that he was covered in body armor but his head wasn't, his feet weren't and portions of his back weren't. Not that it mattered. Throwing your popcorn and soda at him wasn't going to deter him one bit.
Now, I acknowledge that if I was caught in such a situation my initial reaction would be to get the hell out of there but if cornered or to protect a loved one I would probably turn and fight. In such a situation it would be nice to have something more than a packet of M&M's in my hand.
Do you suppose they ever talk about this situation over drinks??
Of course. All these anti gun loonie left wing types are well aware of the fact that their gun control does not work. They do not care. Because for them, it is not about gun control. It is about CONTROL. Control the masses. If you disarm them, they are easier to control. Make them dependent on the police force. They use the excuse they are making it safer for their citizens, when if reality they do not give a damn for their citizens. All they care about is furthering the ultra left wing agenda of controlling the masses.
If I am wrong in this, someone prove otherwise.
This is the perfect argument for more guns. Remember that sceen in Blues Brothers? That is the way the movie theatre should have looked after the first couple of rounds.
FOX interviewed a witness that was sitting in the second row. He states that just a few minutes after the movie started, someone in the first row received a cell phone call. He went over to the emergency door and opened it, motioned to someone outside, then went back to his seat, leaving the door ajar. I've only heard this once, from this particular witness.More NYC BS, the killer came in the back (fire exit) way so NYC's police are frisking people coming in through the front of movie theaters: http://news.yahoo.com/security-increased-movies-following-shootings-163023597.html
I can't see the conversation going very far either, mak2, election year and all.I dont even think there are that many libs pro gun control, just the few that are are very loud. All the true libs I know have tons of guns. There are also people on both sides that are afraid of guns. I cant see the gun control debate heating up.
Perhaps we should remind them of history. I wonder, would the good mayor of NY take a moment to give GW a say here?The liberal bobble heads on MSNBC are already screaming for more gun control after the Batman Massacre. You know, bring back the Clinton assault weapon ban, blah, blah, blah. We need to have a conversation NOW, they say, to get these 'evil black' guns off the streets.
Good thing it's an election year, or the conversation could get rather loud.

Taraus 9mm, Colt .45, 2 Remington 12 gauges, enfield 303, Marlin 22, Ruger 9mm, and a couple of others I just put in the safe when my step father died. I will get them out someday.
