10 Dead In Colorado Theater Shooting

This is one of the most level headed and accurate opinion pieces I have seen up in the mainstream media.

Gun control or carry permits won't stop mass murder - CNN.com

He makes the point that mass murderers are unlike more traditional criminals. Their need to kill drives them to great lengths in planning and preparation. There was no way this was going to be stopped, regardless of if we had tighter gun control or more lenient gun control. Good for CNN for at least posting a reasonable opinion.

He DID escape from the movie theather alive. The cops caught him after the fact.

Also from one witness he walked from the side entrance, shoot people, reloaded and continue to walk around the theather before that witness lost track of him (witness was running out of the place)

I know he was apprehended outside the theater; I was wondering if he intended to avoid arrest and just lost track of the time.

Thoughts and Prayers to all effected by this.

I wonder why he 'gave up' .... At least that's the way they're portraying it as he was apprehended.

LOL?

They have a "no weapon policy" to keep their custumers safe.
Works great!

 

[lovemachine]

Have they announced who the shooter was? Age, anything like that?

 

[VERT]

LOL?

I think Kidd was referring to the irony that Simon properties do not want its patrons to carry weapons. Not that it is funny that it happened on one of their properties.

 

[Sylvain]

Have they announced who the shooter was? Age, anything like that?

They are showing his picture, saying his name and age (24).

I'm curious what Colorados laws says about signs. Is it anything like Indianas?

What are the chances that there WERE people armed? But were too frightened to use them?

He was 24, Aurora residence. Moved from San Diego to Aurora for a degree in neuroscience as a PhD student. He dropped out, ... and apparently he turned into a loner.

There's a lot of random information out-there... But that's all that has been 'confirmed'

Maybe some people tried to do stop him but got shot, who knows.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

What are the chances that there WERE people armed?

Extremely low.

If you are aware enough to arm yourself, you are aware enough to avoid mobs and to observe the Midnight to 4AM rule.

I couldn't imagine being armed and not trying to shoot at the person who is trying to kill you, i guess nobody knows though unless you are there and it's happening to you. I know my first reaction would be to shoot as soon as i saw an opening with the least chance of shooting anyone else

 

[stack23]

And from what i am hearing so far, the new Batman movie and guns are to blame. Not the crazy bastard who killed a bunch of people, makes sense right?

Depending on how far away from the shooter you were. If you were up in the seats, I wouldn't risk shooting that far with a sub-compact. Unless there was no one within 10 feet of him. I wouldn't risk hitting someone else.

And the asking for money has begun.
I did like the part of him hitting the theatres on the anti-2nd stance though.

Dear Timothy,

The murder of 13 moviegoers last night in a Denver-area theater was horrific.

My prayers, and the prayers of our staff and members, go out to the families of the victims and those wounded in this attack.

Living in Colorado, this attack strikes close to home for me.

I was sad this morning, but now I’m angry.

I’m angry that the theater bans law-abiding citizens from arming themselves for self-defense.

I’m angry that this deranged lunatic murdered men, women and children in a senseless act of violence.

And I’m outraged that already, not even twelve hours after the shooting, the gun control vultures are circling the victims.

This morning, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has taken to the airwaves to exploit the blood of innocents to advance his radical anti-gun agenda.

Never one to let a “crisis go to waste,” Bloomberg is demanding both President Obama and Republican nominee Mitt Romney publicly come out in favor of expanding gun control.

While Colorado and the nation remain in a state of shock and grief, the Bloomberg political machine is callously exploiting this tragedy to churn out their anti-gun lies and rhetoric.

Make no mistake -- this is a dangerous time right now for our gun rights.

President Obama and Republican Mitt Romney are neck-and-neck in the Presidential race and they’re desperate.

With a sinking economy and lackluster campaigns, they’re BOTH looking for any advantage they can muster.

And that means OUR Constitutionally-protected gun rights are certain to be in their sights.

You and I both know what President Obama thinks of gun owners . . .

. . . he thinks we’re “bitter” hicks, who “cling to our guns.”

But Mitt Romney’s record is no better. As Governor of Massachusetts he permanently banned an entire class of firearms.

Tragedies like last night's movie theater shooting are just the sort of thing that the gun-banners have been waiting to exploit.

They will use this tragedy -- and others like it -- to call for “action.”

You and I both know their “call to action” means more gun control.

As gun owners and gun rights activists we MUST be vigilant in these times -- not just in the defense of our loved ones, but in defense of our right to keep and bear arms.

With the UN "Small Arms Treaty" gun control meetings in New York City concluding exactly one week from today, it looks more likely than ever Barack Obama will attempt some sort of election-year gun grab.

In the name of public or international safety, and under pressure to conform to international “law,” that could mean a ban on inexpensive, imported ammunition . . .

. . . or a ban on full-capacity magazines . . .

. . . or an outright ban on civilian ownership of handguns . . .

. . . or worse yet, they could attack our very right to own firearms at all!

To make matters worse, Republican nominee Mitt Romney might help him!

You and I both know that Barack Obama, Michael Bloomberg and left-wing international gun-grabbers will work every angle of this shooting as an excuse to restrict our rights.

Our right to defend ourselves and our families from violent thugs -- and anti-gun politicians -- hangs in the balance on a daily basis.

Here is what you can do to help:
*** Please pray for the families of the victims and those injured by the horrific attack near Denver.
*** Gun grabbers seize upon every outrage and crime, so we must always be prepared.

Please click here to chip in $15 or $20 to help the National Association for Gun Rights continue to fight against the gun control schemes of liberals like Mayor Bloomberg and President Obama.
Please continue to stay vigilant.

Your continued engagement and activism could be the only thing that stands between our gun rights and the Obama-Bloomberg Machine's gun control schemes.

They're discussing that Colorado is a death penalty state. And that the district this guy 'selected' has one of the few DA's that pushes for death penalty.

Seems like the only place gun shots would have done anything is through the gas mask to the head.
