Fact is of course, that this Colorado nut would have gotten his hands on a gun one way or another. 

 

Of course he would.   We've made so easy.


Oh dear Mal.  Let's just slow down Missy.  The nasty old guns are out there, and there's no way to get 'em all back.  That story your boyfriend told you about the giant magnet being carried over the country by an alien spaceship was not real.  Really.  So, given that he would get ahold of one even if they were banned, that leaves as a solution having good guys also able to have guns to protect themselves.  Now in Chicago, the good guys can't do that.  So the bad guys are winning.   Here's an idea....watch a few of those old westerns on that cable channel.  The whole goodguy-badguy concept will jump right out at you.  Little Jimmy Tagwagon used to sit and watch the old Gene Autry movies on a regular basis.  Jimmy was a hoot, but had wandering hands.

Sad

Just sad. This isn't funny.

"You boys can defend this guy's right to bear arms if you like, but I take the position it should have been denied."

 

My first question Mal would be on what do you base the denial of his right to bear arms?

 

Who, in your opinion, has the right to bear arms?

 

If you regulate everyone's right to bear arms how do you remedy the fact that there are millions of guns out there now in private possession?

 

If there were at least one person in that theater with a concealed weapon could the outcome have been different?

 

Why do you Democrats always jump on the bandwagon after the fact?

 

I believe this is a horrible tragedy and am at a loss for words for the people and their families.  This is a terrible thing and I wish we had a magic wand that allowed us to know how and when this type of thing is going to happen.  So far by all indications there was nothing that alerted law enforcement to the fact this person was going to do such a thing.

 

Please join the rest of us in feeling for the people and their families and quit making stupid gallant statements like this.  But if you do have that magic wand that says for some real reason other than your stand against guns that he should not have the right to bear arms I will withdraw that last sentence.

Logic.

Legally is legally and just as it was his right to own and bare them as we all know, it's not his to do harm to others. Agreed. I wouldn't defend him other than he did not have them illegally. This horrible event as any other is no different than any other psycho in any other part of this world---- shooting and or blowing people up for what ever they see as an excuse. It's not. It's all just so sickening and unthinkable anywhere at any time and the law won't be able to stop them even if there were no guns anywhere. As you say----There is no magic wand and now we know this creepy scumm shouldn't have had rights to guns or any weapon. The means will be what they choose. I agree, we must show our hearts for these lost people and their families.
