local theater manager wants metal detectors

[The Glockantuan]

I'm going to call every theater near me to find out their gun rules, and inform those prohibiting my ability to defend myself that they are on the wrong side of things, and that will not visit their establishment. I hope everyone does the same thing.

Have you had much fruit to your labors as of yet? I'm going to AMC tonight myself.

Meh, let them, its will be a man thousand dollar waste, when 60 percent of the movie patrons walk in late, and pissed off becasue they had to be patted down after their coins set off the metal detector.

 

[EvilBlackGun]

O, I tho't you said "mental detectors."

 

[CPT Nervous]

I posted. Come on guys, post comments on there. There's only two. Imagine if we all posted...

25,000 comments on how utterly stupid this is. Would that sway his opinion?

I'll go in with a chunk of steel in my pocket.

We are probably going to see a push for more and more metal detectors everywhere in the near future. Fear seems to make people give up their rights at the drop of a hat.

It is a GREAT day to be in the metal detector business for sure! But the shooter would've never passed through a detector with guns in this case, so it is obviously a false sense of security for them.

This reminds me a lot of the banks that put in the man trap doors with metal detectors. As soon as those went in people just started robbing the people going inside and outside of the bank.

Off of my list. I won't patronize a place managed by folks so stupid that they think this idea is worth consideration.

That said, to their credit the idiots are not crying for the state to legislate such things. Thus they are the fresh dung on top of the dry dung heap.

Leave comments guys! This is vital! So far so good. Let this guy know what an IDIOT he is.

This is where the problem lies. They think that criminals actually obey the law. If someone is bent on shooting up the theater, metal detectors are not going to stop them. Somehow, they are to stupid to realize that. All they want to do is make the sheep have a false sense of security. That's all it is, a false sense.

I added a comment, and recognized a few INGOers had as well.

Politicians don't have real answers, so the next best thing is to tell people what they want to hear (at least some people) in an effort to look good and hopefully get votes. The problem with this is, sheeple actually believe them.

This guy came in the back....yes. Metal detectors will only disarm the innocent. Stupid, just stupid.

It's probably a waste of time, but I'm good at wasting time and put a comment there too.

"local theater manager wants metal detectors"

Does this mean they're going to hire TSA workers to man the metal detectors and I'm going to have to remove my shoes before entering the theater?

I rarely go to the movies as it is.
If they start using metal detectors or doing pat downs, etc. I will stop going to the movies all together.
Unfortunately we have too many sheeple in our society that think this would be a good idea to do everywhere.

^^^^^ THIS ^^^^^
