    Dammit! Wonder if this will be a case of just a nut like the CO shooter or a pissed off boyfriend.

    Movie theaters, churches, etc. are prime kill zones. Large crowds with no where to go. Always carry at these places.

    On the very few occassions I actually go to the theater, I always carry and try to sit where I have no one behind me and a good view of entrances/exits.

    I watched a news clip on this. Towards the end Obama said we need common sense gun laws. I agree. Common sense says that every honest and mentally competent citizen who wants to carry a firearm should be allowed to do so. "An armed society is a polite society." - Robert Heinlein

    Obama also told the big lie, "Since 9/11 less than 100 Americans have been killed by terrorists, the number killed by gun violence is in the tens of thousands."
    I used to recruit for the NRA until they sold us down the river (again!) in Heller v. DC. See my auctions (if any) under username henryreilly

    As deplorable such shootings are, one thing is always a certainty: The gun hating democrats and their allies in the media will politicize the event.

    Anyone ever notice. Each mass shooting was in a so called "Gun Free" zone.

    Gov doesn't call most muslim terrorist acts as such, Fort Hood for example.

    Funny how these incidents occur so frequently during an election time.

    We are 15 months from an election, but then anymore were seem to be in a constant election cycle.

    Just hours after Obama has another temper tantrum about common sense gun Laws that he cannot get passed.


    quote:TGIF, the 205th day of 2015 and the day after President Barack Obama, in an exclusive interview with the BBC, said the failure to pass "sensible" gun safety legislation was "the greatest frustration" of his presidency, lamenting that "the United States of America is the one advanced nation on Earth" where spree shootings seem to continue unchecked. As if on cue, a gunman opened fire Thursday evening inside a Lafayette, Louisiana, movie theater; the gunman killed three people, including himself, and wounded nine others. Adding insult to tragedy: The bloodshed happened exactly a week after a gunman killed four people in a Chattanooga, Tennessee, military recruiting station, prompting civilians to bring their own guns to guard those centers - sometimes with dangerous consequences. size=4]

    Already hearing the shooter had a history of mental illness. Including an arrest for arson. He was rejected for a concealed weapon permit based on his arrest record.

    This was not an act of "Gun Violence". There is no such thing as an object being violent or non-violent. Only living persons are capable of violence, or peace, or any other act.

    We need to rebuild the mental health infrastructure that was torn down back in the 1970's. Get the crazies back into secured I stitutions where the belong. Instead of wondering thru life like unstable bombs looking for a place to go boom.

    This guy wasn't even from our area, he wasn't from Louisiana. His only ties to the community was an uncle who lived here 35 years ago. He'd been staying at a motel 6 since the beginning of July, they found wigs, and other forms of disguise in his room.

    I don't care how many gun laws you enact,it will do nothing to stop the gun violence by criminals.

    Agreed, no anti-gun laws will change what criminals and the crazies do.

    I disagree on any of us even using the phrase "Gun Violence". The phrase carries with it the pre-conception guns cause the violence.

    People cause violence. People do violence. Only people.
