How exactly were do the Aurora shootings prove we need more police? Police were in the parking lot of the theater. What was needed in that theater were a couple of folks carrying the weapons that their permits allowed, but the theater didn't. Police rarely stop crime. They just clean up after the fact.
Several questions here vel.............did you actually understand how the attack went down? Lemmie refresh your memory...........a dude walks into a theater, throws a CS (tear gas) cannister into the middle of the theater while wearing a gas mask and opens fire on people with an AR-15 loaded with 100 rounds of ammo and a pistol.
Have you ever been in the prescence of CS gas? I have. Matter of fact, I got to experience it in boot camp, and again when I became a member of the Security Force in Newport RI. It causes your eyes to tear up, your lungs feel like they're on fire, and lots of snot is running down your face.
Now............how many concealed carry weapons holders do you think are going to be able to make an accurate shot under those conditions? Then...........factor in the fact that there was no light and people were running to and fro trying to get out of the way. Are you sure they would have shot the right person?
Oh yeah..........yet another question............you also realize he came in with full body armor and a ballistic helmet, which means that the only weapons that had any chance against him are the ones used by SWAT with armor piercing rounds?
Yeah..............go ahead and tell me how good a shot you are and that under those conditions, you'd be able to hit a 1 ft by 1 ft target (area of his head not coveredy by armor) and take him out?
You've been watching WAAAAAYYYYY too many Die Hard movies.
As far as Romney's gaffe? I thought if there was one country he could easily make it through without any **** ups would have been Britian, but I see that I was wrong. He's been in attack mode for so long that yeah, when asked about something, he's gonna tell everyone what is wrong with it, followed up by telling them he could do a better job.
And no......................you NEVER tell anyone that you've been talking to MI6, even if you have, because the Brits take secrets pretty seriously over there.
