How long until the left starts trying to pin todays shooting on the right?

71 year old man stops robbery-

Exactly. Had 2 or 3 movie-goers carried a weapon, that psycho would have killed maybe 5 or 6 people, instead of 20!

So that's neither a confirm nor deny?

Quote from achilles28:

How come not one patron in the theater carried a weapon?

We need more guns in the hands of law-abiding citizens. Not less!

Blast these mutherfuckers when they go postal.

A law-abiding citizen carrying a weapon, is like a cop on every street corner. When a violent crime happens, lock and load.

Maybe theaters should pass out handguns to all ticket holders as they enter the theater, and then collect them upon exit. Overpriced ammunition could be sold at the concession stands to help improve margins. Go NRA!

Maybe Americans should exercise their second amendment right to keep and BEAR arms, in public? That would send guys like you running for the hills! Oh me oh my, a gun!

And there you have it. Another omniscient fresh out of his teens.

that shooter was working on his PhD, pretty hard for the Left to keep on claiming the intellectual high ground and saying he's a conservative...

All who are working to attain an advanced degree are leftists.
The shooter was working to attain an advanced degree.
Therefore the shooter is a leftist.

Is this your argument?

It would appear that way. Evidently "Eight" ("H" for short) doesn't believe conservatives pursue advanced degrees. Pehaps he believes they know their limitations? Don't you wish ET's conservatives knew their limitations? If so, they certainly wouldn't be posting in the Economics forum. Except, perhaps, to occasionally thank you for your insight.

Quote from Brass:

Gun laws. Strict ones. With fierce penalties.

We already have both. Or do you mean the death penalty sans the decades of appeals instituted by your fellow bleeding hearts who oppose "fierce penalties" at every turn. Are you becoming a conservative on crime and punishment all of a sudden?

As I understand it, the Second Amendment is in place to protect the citizenry from the government. That was then. This is now

Bull Shit Gabby. Did you notice what happened in Libya or what's going on now in Syria?
Armed revolt against tyrannical government by armed citizens. The struggle/balance between liberty and tyranny never ended. And unless there is a significant change in human nature it never will.
