thenumberone : Banning guns isn't going to stop people from killing people. There's endless other ways to kill a massive amount of people. The terrorists that killed 1000s of people on 9/11 I'm pretty sure didn't need guns to do what they did.

Davideo7 :

While they didn't need "guns" per se, they did something far easier.

I'm in favor of more gun CONTROL, as opposed to outright banning them. While guns are bad, they are good for one thing. SELF DEFENSE.

Even if you outright ban guns, people are going to get their hands on them, and while you may FEEL safe, now anyone who feels like illegaly owning a gun can kill you with much less effort.

I think the proper route with all this is to simply allow all people to own a gun, and even carry one on their person, so if anyone does something stupid like this, they can be taken care of pos haste.

legacyme3 : I agree, better gun control is needed and I do think hunters should still be allowed to own them for hunting and people should be allowed to have them in their own homes for self defense.

legacyme3 : I love how trigger happy/ stereotypical redneck that sounds.

First off, he had a regular hand gun, a shotgun, and if I recall correctly, an ASSAULT RIFLE. Now tell me, what do you think the chances of survival would be on that? Next to none, basically. And he also had TEAR GAS. How overwhelming and confusing do you think that would make a theater be in a situation such as this?

What we need for better gun control is not to give guns to everyone, but to take them away. Not in the sense of ridding ourselves of the rights to bear arms, no. The way I imagine is to outlaw guns such as shotguns, assault rifles, and anything else that's a more or less guaranteed one shot kill gun. Hand guns, those would be alright to allow. They give people a better chance at survival (If you don't hit obvious vitle points). Aside from allowing just handguns, they should make people take a test of mentality, to see if they're more on the psyho side, or the safe side. Obviously, we should know which one doesn't get the guns.

If we limit it down to people who won't have a mental brakedown, and limit it down to guns that aren't a 1S1K type, it would be much safer.

And another thing, Movie Theaters, of all places, are the most chaotic and stressful. There are tons of people all the time, and the rooms are dark and easy to close off. Perfect place to go and watch the blood of innocent people spill everywhere. That's why, in crowded work areas like these, two guns should be kept in the managers office. No employees get to use them, just as a security measure because any employee could take it and join the killing spree, or maybe even start it. The second one would go to an obviously trustful and helpful employee. This way, less lives would end rather than it being dragged out until police show up, which could take a long time in certain situations. Especially when the killer is smart enough to block off any roads leading to the destination.

In this world, it's all a matter of doing anything possible just to survive. Even if it means that one innocent life would probably have to end in the process,or maybe even more than one, people will try what they can so they can survive. You would get a rare case where there is a real hero, but people are selfish. It's a fact.

MegaRevolution1 :

Let's say everyone had a f***ing pistol on them.

Have you ever been shot by a handgun? Well?

If you "take" away guns, you are going to basically make people even more defenseless than they already are. People will ALWAYS FIND A WAY TO USE GUNS. EVEN IF ITS NOT ALLOWED.

Do you think it is legal to walk into a movie theater with an assault rifle? Do you think it is legal TO KILL people with said Assault Rifle? Do you think anything the shooter did was within legal rights? Just because it's illegal doesn't mean people won't do it.

Right now, we are ignoring this specific case to argue in favor that self defense is a right. Maybe it wouldn't have helped so much but it would have given them a DAMN BETTER CHANCE THAN THEY HAD.

If people were allowed to carry a stupid ass handgun around with them, I guarantee you less than 12 people would have died, and one of the people who would have died is the person who OPENED FIRE ON INNOCENTS.

Going on to your next point, you are basically agreeing with me. I'm not saying "everyone should carry an assault rifle" and I love how you seem to assume that's what I meant. I'm talking a pistol/handgun that can be quickly taken out as a means of self defense.

legacyme3 : The way you said that whole explanation is very offensive, making it seem as if I am a huge idiot, which I can assure you I am not. It almost sounds as if you're TRYING to pick a fight.

I was more or less agreeing with you. Not everyone should have a gun, but there should be one or two in the managers room in a store or theater or whatever in cases such as this.

If everyone had a pistol on them, we'd be reverting back to times where weaponry production is the only point in life. Build, kill, Conquer, Rule. We should be more conserned about building things to bring peace and help life, rather than to destroy it.

No, I have never been shot by a handgun, but I can almost assure you that you'd have a better chance at surviving, compared to being shot by a shotgun or assault rifle.

I didn't say "take away guns 100%", I said take away most guns that can cause chaos, such as those. Handguns are used by police forces, so it'd be the wiser choice. Give them a more powerful weapon, then the law is below the people.

I never said it was legal. Why try to imply that I did? To possibly get people to side against me, and with you?

Fourteen to Fifteen people last I heard, not twelve. Along with Seventy-one injured, but I doubt more than half were gunshot injuries, but rather injuries from the chaos and ignorance of others, leaving everyone else to fend for themselves while they get trampled on, bash their head against stuff while falling, etc.

I never said or assumed that you meant an Assault Rifle at all, so I have no idea where you got that absurd idea out of.

Swearing and using CAPS LOCK isn't very necessary in such a case as defending points or whatnot.

MegaRevolution1 :

I could say the same thing for your post. I saw it as you picking a fight, and I chose to just ignore the undertones.

So why are we arguing if we agree :| That doesn't make sense

It's like

"I like that hat."

"I also like that hat! But here's something about why this hat is ugly."

"A HAT IS A HAT"

Davideo7 :
So because it wont fix all murders its not worth anything? The last time someone killed 70 people with a knife?
911, they had guns which is how they controlled the pasangers and pilots, if they were just threatening them with knifes or bats it would probably have failed.
At any rate, its a moot point, its too late, the us is flooded with guns.
Me, i dont see it, people feel safe in there beds owning a gun? My thought? Great, now theres thousands of criminals who can buy heavy duty smg's and hmg's.
The classic argument, is defense.
If that nutter showed up at your house with an smg, and shot at you/ your family, are you able to shoot that bullout out of the air?it dosent defend, just atacks back, by which point the damage is done.
The only circumstance is when you're prepared. But murderers and thiefs dont wear a sign saying im gona kill y'all.
Guns arent toys and civilians arent rambo. Iv seen some colosal retards in my time and theres no way id want a gun in there hands.

thenumberone : I'm just saying that if someone wants to find a way to kill lots of people, they can easily find other ways. Plus there's already an endless number of guns already in this country, making them illegal wont make all of those guns disappear. So in other words, making guns illegal wont stop people from finding guns and shooting people with them.

I'm sure criminals would be less likely to break into my house and kill me and my family if they knew or thought I had a gun to defend myself. If all the good people had no guns and all the bad people did, that makes things a little unfair because as I said, the bad people are still going to find their guns whether it be legally or illegally. Good people on the other hand are only going to get their guns legally. So if all the bad people had guns and all the good people didn't have guns, I'm sure there would be an increase in robberies.

I can think of a lot of things that we could make illegal that would greatly reduce the number of deaths in this country including: Alcohol, Unhealthy Food, Cell Phones, Cars, Motorcycles, Cigarettes, etc but we don't make them all illegal because that'd be taking rights away from us that we've all been entitled to for a very long time.

Davideo7 :
Yes, like i said, banning guns in the us is too late, its awash with them.
As such, youre probably going to have massacres like this continuosly.
I dont think they would be less likely,if they have guns and the element of surprise theyre in a better position than you.
In the uk, the death penalty was used so often for ridiculous things, and it really didnt deter people at all because theyre either stupid or desperate.
All the things you listed are self harming, not weapons, hence completely different.

Elara : I actually completely agree with you about the media coverage. I'm fine with limited coverage but the media is doing too much. I also think they shouldn't display his picture on TV ever, instead they should be displaying pictures of the victims. It kind of makes me sick to turn the TV on and to see his face everywhere, it's almost as if he's being glorified.

like how this thread, meant to commemorate the lives of those that ended at the Colorado Massacre, has turned into an argument about the right to bare arms. Whether or not people should be allowed to carry and own guns doesn't help the dead in any way, shape, or form. I don't think this thread was intended for a gun rights debate, rather to inform those that may not have heard about this horrible and dark mark on human history and the history of cinema. Because you know this will change the way going to the movies work,s just like September 11th changed the way we fly in airplanes. It shouldn't, but it will.

Now that I have that out of my system, here are some factoids that I have heard regarding the Massacre over the last couple of days:

- Among the victims killed in this tragedy was a six year old girl. Her mother has also shot and remains in critical condition The mother doesn't even know yet that her child is gone. That is something I don't think I could ever handle waking up to, assuming the woman actually ever wakes up...

- Three of the deceased were active service men, two from the Navy and one from the Air Force, If I'm not mistaken. It disheartens me that some people I've talked to feel that this makes what the shooter did an even greater tragedy. You know what I feel makes this a greater tragedy? The fact that a six year old girl was slaughtered by this nut case.

- Among those injured in the shooting was a six month old baby. This poor child is likely going to carry a permanent scar for all of his or her life because of that nut case. But there is, I think, a bigger question raised here. What exactly was a baby doing at the midnight showing of an R rated movie? Who are the parents and what compelled them to bring their baby to a movie that they knew would contain a lot of loud noises that might scare the poor thing and make it cry? It just seems like irresponsible parenting to me, but this isn't the big issue from that night and I will not digress any further.

- There is speculation that the shooter was a member of the 'Occupy Wall Street' movement and that he might have felt that the Bane character in this Batman movie was a parody of that movement, hence why he may have felt inclined to do what he did. If this is the case, it just further cements my belief that the OWS bull crap needs to stop and most of the people involved need to have their heads examined.


In the end, this whole ordeal is a terrible thing that should never have happened. The man responsible should be publicly executed for his crime, in my honest opinion. What I would do is place him in a movie theatre and play some really crappy movie while a shotgun rigged with a timer set to go off at some random point is aimed at his head. He will not know when that shotgun will trigger, and we will have to sit and wait for his final moment to come. That's just me, however. I feel the punishment should always reflect the crime.


like how this thread, meant to commemorate the lives of those that ended at the Colorado Massacre, has turned into an argument about the right to bare arms. Whether or not people should be allowed to carry and own guns doesn't help the dead in any way, shape, or form. I don't think this thread was intended for a gun rights debate, rather to inform those that may not have heard about this horrible and dark mark on human history and the history of cinema. Because you know this will change the way going to the movies work,s just like September 11th changed the way we fly in airplanes. It shouldn't, but it will.

Now that I have that out of my system, here are some factoids that I have heard regarding the Massacre over the last couple of days:

- Among the victims killed in this tragedy was a six year old girl. Her mother has also shot and remains in critical condition The mother doesn't even know yet that her child is gone. That is something I don't think I could ever handle waking up to, assuming the woman actually ever wakes up...

- Three of the deceased were active service men, two from the Navy and one from the Air Force, If I'm not mistaken. It disheartens me that some people I've talked to feel that this makes what the shooter did an even greater tragedy. You know what I feel makes this a greater tragedy? The fact that a six year old girl was slaughtered by this nut case.

- Among those injured in the shooting was a six month old baby. This poor child is likely going to carry a permanent scar for all of his or her life because of that nut case. But there is, I think, a bigger question raised here. What exactly was a baby doing at the midnight showing of an R rated movie?

But an execution like that will only fuel another later on... "look, that guy got executed publicly, everyone paid attention to him. I wanna get attention like that!"

The shooter and people like him are mentally ill. Actions like that only add fuel to the fire.

This actually hit a lot closer to my family than I thought. My cousin, who lives in the area, was thinking about going to that exact theater for the midnight premiere but didn't end up going. Who knew a small decision like that can ended up being an indirect life and death decision and we were so thankful that she and the entire family are safe. It doesn't take away the grieve that they feel about the incident. From what she told me, the entire community was definitely shaken up from it.

thenumberone : consider these words, guns don't kill people, people kill people, would you have felt better if he pushed all of the people off a cliff? And please don't mistake my expressed opinion for a cold heart, because I feel for those that lost their loved ones, I think lots of people do,(I hope) one of the people he killed was a six year old girl, she just wanted to watch a movie, they all did, those were innocent lives at the mercy of a deranged individual, but it's the man that made that decision to pull the trigger, that's why he's in front of the jury, not the guns. (getting a little off topic here but...it kind of goes along) I believe what I believe, and I believe that if all of the people in the world would pull their heads out of their a!@#% the world would actually work right. If everyone would set aside their wont for selfish and petty gain and opened their eyes and paid attention to the rest of the world and learned something, we would be able to avoid situations like this and others and the world would be a better place. But sadly it is not, and filled with greedy, prideful and ignorant people, there is always hope that the system will work, but how much I don't know, I guess all that I am saying is that is that it might come to that, but people need to realise that it doesn't need to.


-My deepest condolences go to those who lost their lives and their loved ones-

lumine2156 :
I doubt hed be able to kill that many people with a cliff and its not a weapon. Guns are and pretty much the best means of murder.
Guns just legitimise the concept of murder.

thenumberone : I could say that abortion legitimizes murder, but both subjects are highly opinionated and not meant for this topic in the first place.

One of our local theaters decide to take one small extra step in regards to the Aurora shooting. No face masks of any kind will be permitted in the theater (maybe they allowed it around Halloween before this). Other than that, it would not surprise me if they decided it is best to start searching peoples' totes and purses like they do at amusement parks and sports stadiums. Whatever the case this lunatic got the attention he wanted, and now we have to live with the idea that we have no personal safety.

AuraBlaze : not really the same since you cant definitively say when a baby is really alive. I mean you can say your opinion but you cant prove it.
Incidentaly im only replying to peoples ritoric, i never intended any debate, its already clear in my mind. I just find it strange that things like this happen every year but no one ever changes anything.
Yeh, theres respect being paid, but whats actualy been done that will stop a recurence.
The true tradgedy is this is going to happen again.
Kids died that day, more will follow. i dont know how much suffering it will take before 'something' changes.

*sigh* Yeah, I saw the news the morning that it happened. I mean, now you can't even go to a movie theater and enjoy a movie because you are afraid that some psycho comes in and shoots everyone. The last time I went to that theater, I went to watch "2012." And I also had friends that were supposed to go there but, luckily, they never went. From what I heard on the news, James Holmes had many Batman costumes in his apartment, so he was very obsessed with the comic hero, and he even told the authorities that he was "The Joker." Something else I found out was that, now that he is in jail, he tells the inmates that "he doesn't know why he is in prison, and why he ended up there." The inmates say that Holmes is faking Amnesia (from what I read). I really feel bad for the victims, and I really think that if someone noticed something odd about this man, then maybe he could've been stopped. But, you may never know when things like this may happen again. Holmes reallys DOES deserve the death penalty.
