Senseless it was. Sadly, I see a renewed call for fun control. Soon we will get a pat down at theaters too.
Here comes the Obama assault weapons ban.

we will probably find out the shooter has a history of violence, mental health problems, treated and released, arrests and probation, abused as a child, unemployed, electronic game addict, bad social life, recently separated, all of the above, it wasn't his fault. possibly ex service man with post stress. somebody should have seen some warning flags. I doubt it was a muslim terrorist. I would guess the guy is white, under 30, with some military training, could have been in combat, unemployed, some recent incident put him over the edge. the shootings at columbine started the crowd killing spree. those people had specific targets, virginia tech was random, but the shooter had a connection with the school. now it has gotten to the point you shoot up a crowd of people to get free room and board for the rest of your life. eliminating the death penalty hasn't proved to be a deterent. I don't recall any mass shootings in texas. concealed carry and the death penalty will do more to cure this epidemic than all the laws they can think of. It is already illegal to go around randomly shooting people. what good would another law against it do?
At least 14 killed
At least 50 injured
Can you CC carry in theater in Colorado ? Must be all young people.
The President has been notified. (You think)as per NBC news

We should ask Obama if he did this himself? He was educated in schools by a teacher, drove on roads, and all so isn't the government behind this?
Yep, he will have a history of odd behavior. His FB page will have comments regarding an attack or something, and this won't be a shock to some around him.
In an open society it is impossible to stop every evil person intent upon causing harm from doing so. He was intent upon killing and no gun law was going to stop hi,.
Helmet
Gas mask
Kevlar vest
One ccw person could have stopped it.
My GF used to think I was paranoid carrying all the time, not so now.
Wow it's a sad day for sure! And he had buckets of ammo in his apartment. Something for the media to beat down again. A sad morning for sure. Prayers going out to all involved .

kids that hunt and fish dont mug old ladies
I just herd a interview on the radio from Gary Luverne author of Shooter (or sniper) in the Tower. 1966 shooting at a Texas university.
He says, statisticly, these people are allways extremely self centered, self focused and fustrated. Nearly impossible to predict because of the thousands of false positives. 25 - 35 white males. Not really crazy in a obvious sense; but well capable of planning and executing a string of events.
CCW is the only way.
Prayers and thoughts going out to those families and victims.

Oh great, another thread that makes me spend money.
Needless to say this is a sad day, sad for the victims-- some of them small children. My prayers for them.
BUT, Some of the media is saying already that he is probly a anti constitutionalists.
Strongly hinting at the fact.
It's a sad day for gun ownership also. The antis will ride this horse until it drops.
Almost all times these creeps kill themselves. But not this time.
So here he is fully armed, kills all these people, is armed with multiple weapons,
They say he had a house full of bad goodies, AND
He is taken alive without a fight.
OH but don't worry we have the U N treaty to save us
It's not passing my smell test--Sorry.
The commie news will have a field day with this one.

I really can't imagine what it must be like for the families and friends of the victims. So senseless. We're going to take a beating over this. The "press" will be salivating over this one for weeks. Mike
