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. |

And what happens when you take that right away? Nothing changes in homicides. The guy clearly got some of his weapons illegally, and even if you made it illegal to bear arms, there are still ways to obtain them, just like how this guy got his illegal weapons.
EDIT: Sorry if I violated the rule about gun control debates. Didn't see it before I posted this.
EDIT 2: Don't mind this post. According to an article I read, all of the weapons he possessed, he possessed legally. I have very little knowledge about weapons and such so ignore this ignorant post.

Considering what has just happened, I think what you said was very insensitive.

No. So people can't get illegal weapons without being involved in very serious criminal curcuits. This will never happen though. NRA and weapon manufacturers got your country by the balls. You will never get rid of this kind of voilence.
As for the OP. People. Fucking people. What kind of psychosis did these people go through to justify mass murder of women and children?

Please no 2nd amendment debate. Guns don't kill people, people kill people.
This is just more proof to the depressing reality that if somebody dedicates their full effort towards killing people, there's almost nothing you can do to stop it. Humanity is bound to have a percentage of homicidal, insane people that decide to do this for whatever twisted reason.
All we can really do is enforce stringer security measures, and put the victims' families in our thoughts and prayers.
People are so fucked up =(

My grandparents live like 2 blocks from there. That is messed up. Thoughts and prayers to everyone obviously.

Doesn't look like this is a terrorist act and therefore the FBI are not looking to impose the plan of heightening the security level for the country, in a way it's good its not terrorism but then again its not due to the fact someone would do this.

Added a public note. NO gun control debate, please. It completely destroys every thread. Let's just agree that this event is a tragedy to the victims and their loved ones.

Could a Mod edit the op to be update to date
14 dead + 50 wounded
stops people from needlessly asking.
- on that note going to sleep need to wake up in 8hrs for work. Wanted to watch GSTL but that's irrelevant atm.

Report from Sky News said mounting sources saying the gunman was found and arreseted near a car outside the cinema, pointing to the Hyundai as the car he was using hense it is being checked by the bomb disposal robot.

Just heard it on BBC World, very sad news indeed. It's horrible but I can't say im surprised anymore, these things seem to happen every now and then in USA.

stops people from needlessly asking. Nobody is asking, they can look it up themselves, and there are actually 15 dead at this point.
Glad to see that the gun control discussion was stopped before it really began.

- weapons kill people - no, people kill people, weapons are just tools like a knife, give it to a murder and a surgeon and each will use it his way - but there is so much more murder in US - you are stupid - no you are stupid - no you are stupid

My condolence to the victims. This is so shocking. It really seems similar to what Breivik did in some way. Calculated to kill as many as possible. The funnel in a cinema makes it hard to get out, a bit like on an island.
