14 dead, 50 wounded in Colorado theater shootiing....

People that choose not to carry are the ones that contradict themselves. It's those people that question why someone carries a firearm in public and give us law abiding citizens a bad reputation but will then thank us if we have to use it to protect them. I thoroughly agree with Mikes statement about people randomly opening fire at someone who opened fire first. You never know if you did or did not contribute to the body count. It's one thing if you are out in the open but this situation is not that case. They were in a dark room where nobody could accurately see the shooter. Even as a firearm carrier, I would have gotten the hell on.



Are you telling me I don't have the right to take my son to see a movie at a time I choose? I have kids so I personally take offense to a stupid fucking comment like this. Then tell me this. Should the driver of a vehicle be charged because he was t-boned and their child was killed while on the way home from a family gathering at 1:00 in the morning? Should my brother be charged with murder because he found his one month old daughter dead in her crib less than one hour after being put down for bedtime even though it was a SIDS case?



I will agree to an extent. Society has a lot to do with situations like this too so its not always the parents raising the kids wrong. We are the reason our society is the way it is. The guy in question was majoring in neuroscience which is a huge thing in med school so something was done right somewhere when he was being brought up to have gone to med school in the first place.

Your examples are poor and if you did have a 3 month old baby would you really take the baby with you for a midnight screening of the batman, just so you can watch a movie about a guy dressed in black with a cape flying around the city? By the time the movie is over and by then you will get home propably passed 2 a.m. Think of the child

on top of that............. think of..... ME........ and YOU........

the last thing i want to hear is someone's baby crying when im trying to enjoy a movie. I chose not to have kids so that i can come and go as i please and do whatever i like whenever i like. You chose to be a parent, so be a parent. There's absolutely no reason to have a 3 month old baby in a crowded movie theater of people. You're potentially exposing your child to communicable illness, the theater speakers are probably too loud for an infants hearing.... there's a variety of reasons not to do this........

but the absolute most important one is so that you dont take the chance of annoying someone with a crying baby.

Valid point taken so let's eliminate the three month old. I have a four year old so am I required to leave him at home so my wife and I can watch a movie or what? People take their kids to the movies all the time and they are fine. Your comment is still a ridiculous statement in saying what the fuck are people bringing their kids to a movie theater for? You go to a theater to enjoy a flick. Nobody that day knew they would become part of one of the worse massacres in US history.

Another point about armed citizens opening fire as well. Suppose you got a great line of sight to the suspect and take aim. It would be your luck that that one unarmed citizen would walk into your line of fire. The body count would rise and you would be responsible for the death of one person.

Ok, so instead we'll continue to just let the shooter mow people down...good call! /sarcasm

Mike and QD, where in hell did I ever say that I or any other individual would have prevented this entire incident from happening?? I'm clear the attack would have happened regardless, even if the theater was full of SEAL Team fucking 6. The theater was a "gun free zone", thus denying all law abiding citizens from CCW inside...I just don't understand how you guys think letting the shooter roam free is the best idea.

Just as you're accusing us (well me at least) of putting words in your mouth.......

You go and do the same with......

Quote me, please, where I said it was the "best idea." Later, QD.

Im not saying not to take your kids to the movies by all means go. I am more along the lines of when it is appropriate to take your kids. The incident happened on a Thurday night and the Batman movie premiere started at midnight. The movie is 2 hours, 45 mins long, but by the time the movie is over and you walk back to your car it will probably be 3 am. Now I am no parent but, I would not take my 4 year old to the movies on a Thurday night at the middle of the night for 3 hours. I would wait till the next day and see the movie at a much earlier time so that me and my family can enjoy the flick. Thats just my 2 cents.
