The kid legally carrying wasnt causing trouble for anyone.

Campus firearms ban:
The shootings also renewed debate surrounding Virginia Tech's firearms ban. The university has a general ban on possession or storage of firearms on campus by employees, students, and volunteers, or any visitor or other third parties, even if they are concealed handgun permit holders.[116] In April 2005, a student permitted by the state to carry concealed handguns was discovered in possession of a concealed firearm while in class. While no criminal charges were filed, a university spokesman said the University had "the right to adhere to and enforce that policy as a common-sense protection of students, staff and faculty as well as guests and visitors".[117]
Being it's private property I think the theater has the right to refuse service to anyone (aside from age/race/religion/handicap/etc discrimination of course)
I could be wrong though.
This is why I dont like such policies. Nobody who's gone on a shooting spree bothers to attend the classes, get a background check, and legally carry a permit & gun.
If the other patrons had all been legally armed this asshole could have been put down in about 5 seconds.
Ditto the kid at Virginia Tech.
lol you can always count on ATOT to derail something into a limp dicked, retarded, hang wringing contest.

You have absolutely, positively, zero evidence to support that claim.
And increasing the volume would do what, exactly? Maintain that success rate?
Simple probability. More CCW = more idiots with CCW. Just like more gun sales = more idiots with guns.
How the hell did this guy even get in the theatre with the gun?
I wouldn't say they would be the cure all, but at least the group would have had a chance...

CCW is not the problem.
Good. Take yourself and GTFO of the country.Gun nuts and their guns. I'm sure this guy is a NRA supporter too. Makes me want to move to a country that doesn't have more guns than people.
To sum up my thoughts:
2. Clearly the guy isn't sane. Media and political hacks around here will try to pin it on his political persuasion, gun control issues, violent video games or music, etc. None of that matters. The guy is batshit crazy regardless of his personal beliefs and his actions do not reflect on whatever groups he claimed membership of.
The illusion that we live in the wild west... A hero will whip out his hand canon and save the day!! Ah huh, life is a movie.. Most will run regardless because that's human nature, and we don't need more of those Zimmerman's walking around, "protecting" us.
Yes, except he wouldn't have such easy means to massacre 12 dead and 38 injured without guns.
In most Asian countries where gun laws are SUPER strict and civilians don't have the right to bear arms, massacres like these by an individual just don't happen.
I still remember living in Korea, people reading about massacres of lone crazed gunman in US with awe and disbelief. That sort of thing is just unimaginable over there.
US has had massacres like these in the past (duh) and will continue to happen due to guns. Fvck, I mean, at my short time here we've already went through fvcking Columbine, one in MA, Virginia Tech, DC sniper, and now this.
Can ANYONE argue against this?
I live here and actually what you said is very true. LOL, I just told Todd33 to GTFO the country (I wasn't being serious; when I say crap like that on here I'm not that mad and forget about it a minute later anyway). But I do agree with you. I've seen way too many people get way too bent out of shape over shit that ultimately DOES NOT MATTER.Rather than gun ownership the thing that strikes me about Americans is how angry you guys are.
The tales of road/consumer rage just on this forum are pretty shocking, and the way you guys act about political issues seems bizarre sometimes.
There's pretty much nothing you can do about gun ownership there, there's way too many of them sloshing around the population and it's not like there's an expiry date on them.
Just try, as a nation, not to take everything personally. That guy who you've never met, who's trying to pull in front of you isn't trying to insult you, he's just trying to get to work. Just let him in and move on with your day. The guy with different political/religious views to you didn't pick them as a criticism of yours, he just looks at the world differently. Just accept that different people like different things, it doesn't mean one of you is wrong.
In short, America you're an angry, angry country, it's time to chill out.
But being concealed, they would not know. Asking a friend who has his CCW, he said he is only legally supposed to not carry in Federal buildings, and schools. If a business asks to not do it, then he would not, but he said he can still conceal carry in a place like a mall/theater, IF no one asked him to remove it/himself.
