The downside of carrying a firearm...

[rightwinger]

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

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.

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

Without a gun in the equation, this would have just been a shoving match with alot of profanities

You sound so certain. LOL. You do realize people get maimed and killed with bare hands, yeah? No, of course not. You're so full of your(shit)self that you believe what you say as though you have some authority on the matter.

without a gun free zone, which this movie theatre WAS, the guy with a gun might have been more restrained to use his own, as the wife of the guy texting might have killed him as well. Or any other moviegoer. Or the killed guy himself.

He knew he was packing there ALONE.

A repeat of the Aurora situation all over again.

I can guarantee you that this psycho won't be that fast to get loose anywhere else where carry is not prohibited.

It's Florida. People know that anybody next to you can be packing.
And generally people are polite and self-restrained.

Shit yea
We could have had a shootout in the theater....that would have fixed things

A shithead with anger issues was packing and an innocent man lost his life

 

[9thIDdoc]

So we should disarm everyong because of one nut case ?

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

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

Driving a car is considered a privilege while keeping and bearing arms is a Constitutional right. What's hard to understand about that?

Most probably we won't have even an altercation as the guy opposing the texting would be polite in asking to stop and the guy texting would either politely explain it 's a 3 yo he is texting and he will be done in a sec, or just go outside.

Your idiocy about the "shootout" is just an idiocy ecasue everywhere else except the stupid gun free zones people are packing but there are no shootouts.

except in the stupid gun free zones.

Get them out.

Both are subject to legal constraints

Neither is absolute...What's so hard to understand about that?

We are just lucky to have guns keeping us safe

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

Won't be long till this nut job is the next perp.

Some legal constraints, yes. But not to the point of infringement with arms. Not so cars.

Reasonable infringement has alway been allowed. Felons can't buy guns. You can't buy a machine gun. You can't buy armor piercing bullets. You can't carry a gun onto an airplane

Police: Texting argument in movie theater sparks fatal shooting - CNN.com

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

You can't paint just anyone that has a permit with the same brush as this idiot.

He was 71 and probably a tad feeble minded.

 

[Lonestar_logic]

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.

Your ignorance is outstanding.

Finally got my concealed carry license yesterday. It took over 3 months! There must be a tremendous backlog in the State I live in. People are breaking records for the purchase of guns here as well as the license to carry them.

Luckily, I live in a State that still believes in freedom. One of the last bastions of rugged individualism.

If my State ever turns blue, then the game will be over for all. We hold too many electoral votes, our population is too big for the effect to be limited to our State.

If you value your 2nd amendment rights, support my State.

Support Texas. Support freedom. Support the Constitution.

2 to 3 months is pretty average and has been for the past few years. As a co-owner of a gun shop I can attest to the fact that more and more people are not only buying guns but filling up gun ranges and applying for CHL's.

God Bless Texas!

Actually you can buy armor piercing rounds, look up M855 (green tip).

The cop only did what millions of us would love to do but are not crazy enough. They should have stopped texting, I guess.

Look what happens when the entire population thinks they live in a bubble of narcissism. We should outlaw cell phones.
