The downside of carrying a firearm...

It is more of a mental health issue. This was a retired cop, but it could have been anyone with a carry permit. Pretty sad

Saying it could have been anyone as a reason for policy is ridiculous.

And before you deny any alternative motive for posting this other than some gun control argument to ban concealed carry weapons let's cut to the chase.

Implying that everyone with a carry permit is a potential murderer and then using that false statement for a argument for gun control is the same as saying every driver is a potential drunk driver who will kill someone so we should suspend everyone's license.

It is, your firearms laws are insane.

Try and take us over, Einstein.

 

[Luddly Neddite]

Well if everyone in the theater was armed, they could have shot the cop

Instead, an unarmed person relieved the nutter of his weapon.

Too bad it was AFTER a bad guy with a gun stopped a good guy with a phone.

Implying that everyone with a carry permit is a potential murderer and then using that false statement for a argument for gun control is the same as saying every driver is a potential drunk driver who will kill someone so we should suspend everyone's license.

I'll do more than "imply". I will state outright that anyone with a gun is a potential killer/murderer. Being ready and able to kill is the only reason to carry a gun.

The silly ass comparison to cars is just nonsense because, among other reasons, we pass laws to mitigate the damages that can be done by cars and drunks. We also require that drivers have insurance or can prove they can pay for the damage they cause.

Adding a firearm to the equation turned what would have been a shoving and shouting match into a fatality

 

[Luddly Neddite]

So we should disarm everyong because of one nut case ?

Should we ban cars when a mental case drives into a crowd?

No but we have many safety regulations on said cars that have reduced deaths caused by accidents. You have to pass a drivers test and complete comprehensive training to get a liscense. Not the weekend "training course" you need in most states for your CC.

Only if you plan to drive on state roads. You dont need a license to buy and drive a car around your own property. The same as you should not need a background check on a firearm you plan to keep on your own property.

It's just that gun grabbers like to pre-emptively attack firearm owners because it's a platform position for the weak parasites. They love a gun grabber.

Oh.

I didn't realize the cop was in a theater located on his own property.

Most hand carry firearms do not have the stopping power to afford a carrier the license to kill. Most are for self defense, you ignorant shit stain on society. That said, most who carry a gun reserve the right TO DEFEND themselves, not kill someone else. But to a moron, there is no difference between the initiation of violence and defending oneself.

Because you can not fix stupid. You just can not.

Yep. Up until the nutter pulled his gun, the worst damage was caused by thrown popcorn. Popcorn would not have made a three year old an orphan.

The nutters are defending in the indefensible.

Wrong on all counts since most gun owners will never shoot anyone.

There is nothing stopping anyone from getting behind the wheel of a car drunk or sober. In fact I will bet my left nut that there are more people on the road right this very second driving impaired than there are people with concealed carry permits in your town. So who is the greater threat to your life?

And a gun owner convicted of wrongful death can be sued for all he is worth just like a drunk driver can.

The cop will now spend his remaining years in prison. All because he had to be "safe" by bringing a gun into a movie theater

The real point is that guns are too far out of control in the US, and there are just too many around, to be able to do any real sort of gun control. The NRA has terrorized the populace so much for so long that there probably won't be any going back to a saner society where people don't feel the need to be packing.

So there is no level of violence between popcorn throwing and shooting? you forget a good old fashioned ass-kicking.

Sorry, bubble head, but your COMMIE LEFTIST ANTI CONSTITUTION BULL SHIT isn't going to hold water here. It is the "POPULACE" by a VAST MAJORITY that WANT their second amendment RIGHT to KEEP AND BEAR ARMS, and because of people like YOU, firearm sales in America jumped FORTY PERCENT last year.

It is you CONSTITUTION HATING, RADICAL, COMMIE LEFTARDS that think everyone should be disarmed that are the minority.

Fuck off, COMMIE.

One nut case???? This happens frequently. And the automobile argument is stupid, but what should we expect.

i would be interested in hearing the full story

for now it is one sided

 

[Redfish]

yes, we are. Safe from the government. And thats the exact reason for the 2nd amendment.

Very true.....

Our society is suffering from the Gubmint gunning down 13,000 Americans a year

The 2nd amendment was about protecting Americans from redcoats and indians. Since neither is now a threat, the 2nd amendment is now obsolete.

wrong:

"The beauty of the second amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it." -Thomas Jefferson



The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.-Thomas Jefferson

Why would you advertise that you have guns to steal and your neighbor doesn't?

Bad guys like guns

 

[Vox]

This is tragic.

as a general remark and in no way justification for the shooting - people, get off your stupid cellphones, if you need to text - go outside, there are MANY people which get extremely irritated by somebody texting or calling or receiving the call in supposedly "no cell phone area".

Cell phone use in the restricted areas is a known trigger for somebody unstable.
It is just not worthy to get somebody off the rails becasue of the need to use the device.

I know it is your right. But sometimes it is just safer not to.

 

[9thIDdoc]

Can't get it repealed, The NRA has the US by the balls and is squeezing much too hard.

Great. But you would have had to have some to start with.
Childish temper tantrums won't help. Sometimes the answer is "no".
