Anti gunners claim that mass shooters do not choose targets based on gun free zones...because most of the time they have a connection to the shooting site...a school, a job....or a place of grievance.....but that is lazy thinking or out right deception....those places are gun free zones already...no choice is needed to be made since they are already gun free zones...
But....when the mass shooter is just picking a target without a connection to it......they actually choose gun free zones.....how do we know...at least 5 mass shooters have given notice before their attacks in their diaries or videos they made or in confessions to police...
The colorado theater shooter is covered here....

Notes on the James Holmes Batman Movie Theater Shooting case: Maximize killing and Deterrence matters for these mass killers
This past week we finally got a look at the diary of the Batman movie theater killer, James Holmes, and it was clear that he was considering both attacking an airport and a movie theater. But he turned down the airport option because he was concerned about their “substantial security.”
While Holmes’ diary was no where near as detailed as Elliot Rodger’s, the Santa Barbara killer from last year, it still shows that he was concerned about avoiding people who might stop his attack.
Dr. William Reid, a state-appointed psychiatrist who performed Holmes’ sanity evaluation, had these comments:
— “Reid said the gunman picked a show in the movie theater that was going to be packed”
— “Holmes said he looked at what other mass killers did but didn’t compare it. He said he just learned from what they did — specifically, ‘don’t shoot police or they will kill you.'”
Your evidence is weak. An airport does have actual security. Not comparing a gun free zone to a place where maybe there will be someone armed.
No....he chose a theater that was farther away from his home than several others...all had the same movie, at the same time, the same night....but that theater had a gun free zone policy while the others did not........
Or is that the one where the movie playing had a door he could leave ajar so he could get in? You don't really know. The fact he was considering an airport is very counter to your claim.
Brain....the theater he attacked was the only one with a gun free zone policy....it was farther away than the other theaters from where he lived......and he considered the airport...and rejected it...why...because people there had guns....are you really that....challenged brain.....?

He needed a door he could leave ajar that wouldn't be noticed to get back in. That I'm sure played a far bigger role in his decision. Given how few of people carry I doubt he though about it. And you've done nothing to prove it. Your arguments are empty.
As is your brain, brain...really...that is the best you have......try harder next time.....
