Shooting at TDKR Midnight Premiere in Aurora, CO. Multiple dead.
At least 10 moviegoers were killed and 39 injured at a cinema in the Colorado city of Aurora in the Denver suburbs. They were attending a midnight showing of the new Batman film, The Dark Knight Rises.
The theater was packed with a lot of people, many of them young fans, at the time the shooting started, 9news reports. The violence erupted some 15 minutes after the movie started, witnesses said. Some say that when they first heard the shooting, they thought it was some new type of special effect. Local media reports that two gunmen were involved in the rampage. An explosive device was set off during the shooting, injuring several people. Witnesses said the gunmen were probably wearing body armor and gas masks and used some kind of a tear gas bomb in the attack. Some reports say police have apprehended one of the assailants while the second one is still at large. Police have cleared people from the scene over fears that another explosive device might be on the premises. Aurora medical services were alerted to attend to the large number of injured http://www.rt.com/news/shooting-dark...er-aurora-654/ WOW |

the problem with society isn't 'more guns'; it's more guns carried by criminals. the legit CCW folks typically aren't the ones going batshit crazy. no matter the gun control, criminals will get their guns, leaving those without to be at the criminals' mercy. My $.02 anyway / IMO. |

Yup. Every other day or so, some crazy white dude in a North Face vest goes on a shooting spree in a movie theater. It's like Harlem, Detroit, and Philly combined up in them mountains..... I'd cancel that trip immediately...

Being armed in this situation would possibly do more harm than good. I couldn't live with myself if I hit someone other than the shooter.

A sad fact is the crazies and thugs are always going to have guns regardless of whether or not the law allows it. I am in favor of an even playing field. Plus, people that go through the process of getting a concealed permit more often than not are very conscientious gun owners and wouldn't just hop up with guns blazing in that situation.

If your son/daughter were killed, how would you feel about being unarmed? Having a CCW permit doesn't mean you get to freely sling lead wherever you want. |
