"A random act of senseless violence Was committed again last night It seems the whole world has gone crazy And something needs to be done So starting today, I'm gonna find a way I'm gonna repay someone With a random act of senseless kindness"
An odd thing to say, as if waiting till the end would have made him seem considerate, or that not watching the entire movie qualifies someone as insane.

What did they Win? Edit: This was posted on the wrong thread... I definitely am not meaning to offend anybody by this post.
Even more now. If just a handful of people in that theater had been exercising their 2nd Amendment rights, the tragedy would likely have been minimized. You can take away people's rights until they don't have any at all, but there will still be just as many hate-filled psychos. The psychos will simply get more creative in their methods for killing--it's nice to have the opportunity to fight back against the occasional nutjob, though.
Agreed. I'm extremely liberal but still pro gun, for the reasons already stated in this thread... Guns can't be grabbed by any random person easily.. You have to go through background checks, then most really lethal guns are then registered to you.. Criminals don't use legally registered to themselves guns to do crimes (unless they arn't too bright...), they use illegal ones. So gun laws are moot.. Being gun free is a bad thing really. Why do you think criminals don't constantly rob gun stores to steal guns? Because they will get shot and killed. Criminals go after weakness and easy victories. Making a "gun-free city" more of a target for crime. As ICG said, if someone else had a gun LEGALLY there, they would of been able to stop him and would of saved lives. Guns don't kill people, people do.

The concluding sentence concisely articulates my general standpoint:
