You can't ban guns because they can be used by criminals when so can cars, gasoline, dynamite, drugs, fertilizer, and just about anything else. Gun control doesn't stop people bent on murder from doing it.

Yea but they would of killed way less if they had to run around with knives or whatever.....

Gun are a very easy way to end an argument, and countries without gun control have significantly less murders/manslaughters. Its too easy and quick to pull out a gun....and the fear factor of taking someone on without a gun has to be considered too.

This incident could really fucck up the attendance to this movie, they had to shut down the Premier in Paris for fear of a similar terrorist attack, not that is a major concern at this point but It might bring in and it should, a bit more control inside the auditorium where kids are constantly flashing the phone lights on top of all the constant jibber, jabber some times I wanna jump on these azzholes who simply go there to disturb the show..that zhit is worse than freaking drugs, just try to take some ones phone away and see what happens...

Reminds me of the old joke, "Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?"

And now old Abe is the "vampire hunter." Fine kids, you wanna use your cellphones and laser-pointers during that movie, go ahead. I wouldn't even download it free off Demonoid.

You're right, though. Movie audiences are so unruly when it comes to action-type pictures, quite a few in that Colorado theater initially thought that the sudden smoke and noise was either part of the film, or done by some "kewl dude" to add to the fun.

I like the idea of "harvesting" from creeps like this, and that especially includes last year's psycho from Arizona, and the home-invasion duo in Connecticut (among others). That's the only reason they should stay alive.

This Holmes guy...I'm already sick of his damn face, pix with or without the red hair. The smirk's enough. We give WAY TOO MUCH COVERAGE to the shooter. Jared the Jerk in Arizona...how often did we see his "look at me, I'm scary" mugshot? I say, wipe that "scary" look off his face with some "ground and pound."

Gun control is needed but in the U$A it's all about the money, and the gun lobby has tons of it. Gun lovers lubricate themselves over these weapons of mass destruction. Owning a vintage flint-lock? Nah. Owning a beautifully designed rifle? NO! Lookie lookie, a friggin' AK-70 Mega-Blast with a 100-Clip-Capacity that has an attachment to deep-fat-fry Oreos! YEAH!

Gun control only takes guns out of law abiding citizens hands. If someone is bent on breaking the law then they will have no problem purchasing an illegal weapon.

Beautifully ornate rifle = $3000+ , AK-47= $400, 100 round drum = $90-120, 40 round clips = $12, ammo= 500 rounds $150

Thats like complaining that people aren't driving beautifully designed ferraris instead of some grocery-getter.

You should and you can. You can own destructive devices with proper licensing and paperwork.

What about C4 explosives? Mines? Grenade launchers? Chemical weapons? You would have no problem with people being able to get these as long as they got the money?

Sure but it will stop the opportunistic kind at least, also the sad fucks with no friends, since they probably wouldnt be able to get hold of them.

Way too late to do anything about gun control, it's simply the return of the wild west, it's simply gonna come down to who's the fastest draw..... I say just keep your piece handy and be on the look out for idiots with this look on their face.

I'm saying that the so-called "gun lovers" out there pretend that they admire workmanship, and history, and the tradition of weaponry that goes back to the days when a man valued his Colt 45 or his Remington or even his squirrel gun.

What they really love are big, noisy, horrible weapons of mass-murder. That they happen to be cheaper than something that might get an oooh on "Antiques Roadshow" isn't the point.

I have no problem with someone owning a gun for protection. But when a burglar is in your basement, you don't need a machine gun. Not if you're in any way a responsible and schooled gun owner. Fire one or two shots and your man is on the run. Or dead.
