WTF are you talking about? These poor men were shot, no more or less, but randomly. People ducked, some were lucky to survive, others, tragically, were not. Saying that they they heroically, John Wayne - style, dived in front of the bad guys bullets to protect the gentle women-folk is just fvcking idiotic. Americans are obsessed with finding "heroes" in every single situation. Christ. Grow up.

What? This was a "gun-free zone". The law clearly states you're not allowed to carry your weapons into the movie theater. Clearly these gun laws make the difference in these types of situations.

So your vision of an ideal world includes all men carrying around assault rifles at all times? Perhaps you'd be happier living in the Middle East.
No, he said he doesn't want to live in the middle east, he wants to live in the US with looser gun laws. There's a big difference but you're a moron if you equate the two.

Ok I'll grow up. Didn't mean to suggest anything. I only watched 4 news video of survivors stating what they saw and what others did. I suppose they were all lying and just like me...they are fvcking idiotic and deluded knobs. Sorry won't post again.

look dumba$$, yes, a "gun-free zone" does indeed DO NOTHING to dissuade a psycho like this. However, REAL GUN LAWS/RESTRICTIONS would actually do something towards saving lives. Not having strict licensing, strict background checks, not closing gun-show loopholes, allowing people unlimited access to unlimited amounts of firearms and ammo, and virtual automatic weapons is just plain lunacy. With such complete lack of real laws that would actually help keep huge amounts of firepower out of the hands of crazies and criminals, the silly gun-free zones do little. But your conclusion that any and all gun regulations would therefore also do nothing is absurd.
oh yes, stricter gun laws will definitely give the crazies & criminals pause. The crazies who actually plot mass murder will no doubt be thrown for a loop when they suddenly realize their plans aren't actually LEGAL. The criminals will probably all immediately throw down their weapons as well, just because of their high regard for the rule of law. Then maybe they'll all hold hands & sing a few bars from Birdcage or some off-Broadway hit musical..
Do go on, sir. Your logic is simply flawless; your grasp of the minds of crazies & criminals absolutely uncanny.
Wait....could you be him? The smartest man alive? barACK!, aka Chooma Bong Hussein Obama? Welcome sir! Please, continue wowing us with your intellect and mastery of the issue! Bravo! We're truly honored! Usually the only kenyans we rub keyboards with are those pesky runners from the Rift.

Hey Deluded Knob tough guy! Talk to me some more! I just confirmed some massive information that is on tape from witnesses. You would never guess where I work...COULD SHOW YOU THE INCOMING STATEMENTS. I NEVER SAID THEY WERE JOHN WAYNE OR USED THE WORD HERO. I JUST SAID THE CHARACTER DISPLAYED IS INCREDIBLE. Lets talk!
I blame Title IX

At least you're not running away, or hiding on the floor.
yep, just using you as my bullet stopper shield. Thanks man.
We should just legalize murder too because murderers will murder regardless of whether it is legal or not!
