this will be with us for sometime and should have its own thread
I found this interesting:

Did I read correctly that one of the victims was already involved in some sort of mall shooting somewhere else? Wow.
Interesting question. Are we going to see metal detectors now at the movies? I wouldn't be opposed to it.
It's way too easy for psychos to get a hold of weapons and guns made for warfare.
There's more of a background check for getting your drivers license. Why are gun fanatics opposed to this? ( background checks, passing a safety test) What's the problem?
Or putting controls on how many bullets or what type of bullets you can buy. What is the big freaking deal? This makes me so mad.
Can someone here who is pro-guns explain to me in what kind of fucking situation would an ordinary citizen need an assault rifle?
Exactly. In my opinion, you can't stop a murderer from doing what he or she is going to do.There's a good article in the Disgusting thread that points out that, unfortunately, stricter gun laws are unlikely to prevent mass shootings like this one.

A guy from Maine was arrested today when he was speeding over 100 mph. He had a massive arsenal of weapons in his car and articles about Aurora and told them he went to Dark Knight Rises in Maine with a gun in his backpack. Then he was on his way to a former employer.

Neither of these are good reasons not to tighten gun laws.

As I posted in the hugs thread, I personally knew of the people that were there. Unfortunately her boyfriend died in order to save her.
She's a friend of mine, and we went to the same school. Since it is a small school, it is certainly hitting home to a lot of us.
LJT said:I find it odd when supporters of guns point out countries like Switzerland and what not having equal numbers of gun ownership but less shootings. In my mind that's because you have a more homogeneous population and likely a lot less social inequality. Social inequality being one of the great creators mental illness (though I know in many cases and in this case Mr Holmes is not from an underprivileged background).
