I instead chose to live somewhere where the threat of violence isn't so great that you need to pack at all times. Poor you. Now do you see how the obsession by the NRA and others over easy access to guns has ruined the US?
I can't think of a single place in the United States were I have ZERO chance of being a victim of crime. Even the slightest odds are unacceptable for me. You find the risk acceptable, me and my family don't

I couldn't raise a family in the US, when the opportunity arose, we moved to a safer country.
The points made by the gun grabbers = moot.
Opposition to banning guns is at the highest level since......ready for this......1959!!!!
74%
Gallup Poll: Support for gun control is waning, opposition to handgun ban at all-time high
In 2014, lets face it.......gun grabbing is gay.
Wow, another thread where the gun nuts fantasize about all the people they want to shoot.
The guy in the theatre was living their dream.

I think we can all agree that the shooter in this case should not have had a firearm. Now what is the minimum amount of regulation that would prevent someone like him from having a firearm?

Well there you have it. Your solution works too.
Like I said earlier, I have served to defend the Constitution of the United States. Today, nothing has changed except my determination to not be assimilated. I will defend the Constitution until my last breath.

Gimme a break, as soon as one shot is fired at anyone, you're pulling out your piece and blasting away. And I feel sorry for you that you have to live somewhere where going to the movies requires a gun. Poor you.Seems like a massive problem where you live.
Violence is a problem everywhere.
It's your choice to not protect yourself should you be the victim of violence.
And don't worry if you are a victim of violence I will respect your right not to protect yourself and leave you alone.

In the 46-page study, which can be read in its entirety here, Kates and Mauser looked at and compared data from the U.S. and parts of Europe to show that stricter laws don’t mean there is less crime. As an example, when looking at “intentional deaths,” or murder, on an international scope, the U.S. falls behind Russia, Estonia, and four other countries, ranking it seventh. More specifically, data shows that in Russia, where guns are banned, the murder rate is significantly higher than in the U.S in comparison. “There is a compound assertion that guns are uniquely available in the United States compared with other modern developed nations, which is why the United States has by far the highest murder rate. Though these assertions have been endlessly repeated, [the latter] is, in fact, false and [the former] is substantially so,” the authors point out, based on their research

Strawman argument. Reality is that the US is so dangerous because of lax gun laws and sales that everyone feels the need to pack.

Are we actually suggesting that Russia is a modern developed nation? Really?

That is not true- Criminals will and do use bats, knives etc..
To defend that, since LEO have no legal obligation to come to my aid...My choice is a gun

I don't agree with that. He claims he was defending himself.
We have only heard one side of the story.
