This is a tragic event. Let's not derail the thread with a gun control debate. Posts from page 9 onward will be moderated for steering the discussion towards gun control.

It's an ar15 which is semiauto. No more deadly than a mini14 which doesn't look military style. That you can buy anywheres in north America. They are hunting weapons and are not fully auto. Just because it looks like a military weapon people get their feathers all ruffled. Secondy handguns are much more deadly due to ease of concealment.

I can't imagine how this is going to change movie premiers. I am def never ever going to a midnight showing again and probably won't see this movie in theater now. How can theater's even accommodate for a crisis like this? (building exits etc.)

So a random tragedy causes you to take irrational actions? This horror has nothing to do with the movie theater, that's just where it took place. He could've done this at any crowded venue.

uh how many people wanted to fly after 9/11 happened? jesus man.....i don't go out like at all but shit like this happens and i'm glad i don't


That is tragic.

You don't understand because your premises/assumptions are false. This thread is not the place to delve into it though.

Pretty shameful how the media handles stories like these. They go bonkers over anything that will sell well, no matter whether it serves the public interest or not. We do not, I repeat DO NOT need to hear the fucking 911 calls. I would honestly not have any problem with stories like this not even making the national news. All the guy probably wanted was to make the news. It serves no one to give it so much attention in the media. I would actually be ashamed of myself and my profession if I was a journalist today.

Yes, there are laws against using low powered rifles on large game due to suffering caused.

What? you need military M16's to kill deers?


A) It isn't a military M16. It's a civilain AR-15.
B) The AR-15 is not functionally different than any other semi-automatic rifle. Semi-automatic is only different from bolt-action in that it reloads for you, you still have to pull the trigger again to fire again.
C) As noted above, large rifles are preferred and sometimes mandated for hunting to prevent animal suffering
D) Shotguns have been used in skeetshooting for a century - it's an olympic sport

As I think I've said earlier, Channel 9 has been doing a pretty good job.

I've noticed that local news almost always handles major stories better than major news outlets.

Yeah but still why would you need an semi automatic rifle for hunting? Those things are killing machines. Imagine if it was a bolt action gun, would he have been able to kill/injure as many people as he did? probaly not.

But yeah this will just turn into a never ending arguement and probaly not the best place to talk about it here. Just angry that fuckers him are able to kill so many innocent people.

You mean its "broadcasted" more in America.. I didn't see anyone going over to the Norwaymassacre saying "Well... pesky Swedish allowing that to happen" or insinuating that in some way is Americas fault bad people exist. 360+million people, bad shit happens.

EDIT: Hell ... I'm usually one to condone America for its shit actions, and bash its foreign policy, but this instance you are really out of line.

For me, this is a really odd thing to say. If there is anything constructive that can come from a tragedy, then it is learning how to prevent it in the future. If gun control is one of those things that can help to prevent something like this from happening on this scale, then it needs to be discussed.

I think that gun control is one of the things that should be discussed. But I think what is also important, is determining what is wrong with this person psychologically and if there are enough systems in place to detect and take care of people who are mentally unstable.

You own TL forums? I didn't know, maybe you should ask your moderators to remove the big headline saying "don't derail into gun control debate"
