This is in Florida. Note at 6:06, I couldn't help but wonder, is that young guy in the whitish blue shirt behind Obama, Dan ?

    Here's the NRA script for the PSA they'll release this afternoon:

    It's Obama's fault.

    His disarm America policy left those people defenseless.

    Reject the Kenyan interloper!

    Stand your ground like Zimmerman!

    And open fire!

    Sorry folks, there's nothing to be done. As long as half of the country regards gun ownership as a human right and public education and social services as liberal indoctrination claptrap I'm afraid we're just going to have to accept some collateral damage.

    Colorado appears to have "Castle Doctrine" and generally supportive of self-defense.

    I read Colorado is a "shall issue" state as far as concealed carry permits.

    I used to live in Georgia and had a permit there. Generally speaking you apply and you will get one, unless there is justifiable cause to deny like background check issues.

    So there's not a lot of room for pro-RKBA lobbyists to maneuver here. It's actually a bit surprising to me that in a theatre full of people there wasn't one armed citizen. But I dunno, I had a permit and sometimes did carry sometimes not. In the summertime it's a hassle to conceal so I was less likely to bother.

    Very sad and tragic in any case.

    No, don't be silly. The Zimmerman is gods one and only tool on this earth! Only things that the Zimmerman does have been ordained by god! All others should be treated with suspicion and perhaps shot.

    All hail the Zimmer-god! (and please send money)

    That was one of my first thoughts, but maybe there was. Not speaking from experience, but there can be a big jump from carrying a gun and actually pulling it out and using it.

    But I dunno, I had a permit and sometimes did carry sometimes not. In the summertime it's a hassle to conceal so I was less likely to bother.

    When I had a permit I carried almost all the time. Weather would usually just change the number of guns and rigs I would use.

    However, my permit prohibited carrying in to establishments that sold alcohol. So even if I was to be a designated driver I would not carry if I was going to a bar.

    Yes, horribly sad.

    Not surprising at all. Century theater is a gun free zone. Law–abiding–citizen–gun–free–zone is a better term, in light of the shooting.

    Condolences to the families.

    You guys realize that even if people in the theater were armed, they'd have to also have remembered their gas masks if you expected them to return fire. While I am generally a RKBA supporter, I also am honest enough to admit that it's not any sort of crime deterrent. Bad people intent on doing bad things will always find a way to cause mayhem.

    seems to me that the anti-gun, anti-American, anti-white, anti-freedom, anti-conservative side of humanity thanks that all bad guys are too lazy to use anything but a firearm to commet murder. How weird is that? I happen to think that bad guys will not give up on commetting murder just because they have to work at it, and swing a bat, or throw a brick, or use their bare hands.

    You see, the welfare - nanny state - mentality on the left has it banged into their head that people are lazy and stupid and can only do things that are easy. So, if something like murder is made too hard, nobody would do it. Remember that, the left thinks if murder demands more effort from the murderer, it will not happen --- really --- and that may be why they want the abortatoriums to be set up as they are with full welfare paid murdering, and as few obsitcles as possible.

    If the left is willing to be honest (ya right), then they would have to look at murder with an even hand. They say abortions will keep going on without welfare paid abortatoriums, but in back alleys and with clothes hangers. So, they should understand that murderers will murder innocent people with a legal firearm, or a bat, or a brick, or a bomb, or poison, or spreading AIDS on purpose. What the left minded human likes to see is the controlling of other humans through political/judicial action. Liberalism really is a mental disorder. Seek help.

    I can understand people who want guns so they can hunt. People who want them for self defense strike me as badly misguided (their gun is much more likely to kill themselves or a family member than a criminal). People who like them for their own sake strike me as creepy fetishists. People who think the right to own/carry a gun is a first-order human right, just like freedom of speech or universal suffrage strike me as having badly skewed priorities.

    But as best I can tell most of the country disagrees with me. Of our two parties, one of them thinks gun rights should generally be expanded and the other is terrified of the whole subject and want it to just go away. 12 democratic congressmen voted to impeach their own president's attorney general rather than risking their endorsement from the NRA. So, under these circumstances, I accept the fact of the right to keep and bear arms, although I don't recognize its legitimacy. Unless this changes (and I don't think it will) the US will always have a very high level of gun violence.

    Again, how does that relate to this specific situation? You surely aren't suggesting that people blind from tear gas should have just started shooting in the dark in hopes they would hit the bad guy along with all the collateral damage, do you? Or are you just a reactionary incapable of maintaining a chain of coherent thought?

    I think the only connection between criminal activity and Americans being allowed to carry a weapon at all times -- and this crime -- is that there would be a greater deturant to the perp to step up and start the war. Meaning, this may have still happened, but if the real-world situation was that anyone in the theater, working at the theater, and walking by the theater, was likely (not just possibly) carring a means to kill the dude walking in to murder all those people, the perp may not have ever even came to a point where he wanted to face that chance. I hope you can follow my point.

    Would having every sane legal Adult in America carring a weapon stop such things as this? Not a chance. But I think it would reduce the number of bad guys willing to take the shot. Bad guys are not allways willing to die in the attempt to commit murder.

    It's like car-jacking dropping when folks were told to start packing in bad areas. Same as home invasions seldom recurring in areas where homes have been defended by armed occupants. An armed populous makes being a bad guy harder.

    But, I also feel a quick death penalty from a public hanging is a great deturant also. I'm weird I guess.

    If everyone were packing and a bad guy wanted to stir up some serious carnage, he could do so without even firing a shot. Toss a brick of firecrackers into the mix and just watch all the itchy finger Death Wish wannabes start shooting each other.

    These things aren't hard to noodle through, people.
