Colorado Shooting

[Rammjet]

If he meant legalising drugs = 0 illegal drugs then that is a poor comparison because you never suggested gun crime should be legalised

Clearly what he meant is that despite many substances being tightly regulated that people get hold of them anyway, and hence this logic can be applied to weaponry capable of grevious bodily harm.

If however we were to step into a realm of evidence, looking at countries and comparing their associated crime statistics, the most successful countries tend to 'decriminalise' drugs and restrict gun use to specialists- although many of these countries are smaller, have higher social equality etc than america does, so separating those variables distorts the image.

That masked gunman was one awesome person =P

A baby was shot.
You are a horrible person.

More likely he was a mentally ill person, and saying things like this doesn't make you edgy or cool.

Canada has the same weapon access as America, but they don't have nearly as much murders. Maybe all the nuts only live in America.

OH YEAH SO LET'S ALLLLLL MOVE TO CANADA, BECAUSE CANADA IS SOOOOO GREAT.

why are we talking about all the murders and gun laws anyway? What about all the people who lost their lives, and that were injured? Doesn't THAT matter a little more?

Every site that this discussion is on has deteriorated to people arguing about gun laws and even tuition fees [some people claim he commited the crime because he was heavily indepted from tuition fees]

Everyone likes using a passionate piece of news to push their own political agenda.

It's a shame, because it seems like it's making people feel unsafe when they see The Dark Knight.

[Blαzeth]

I live in Kansas, so I've been hearing a lot about it.

My heart goes out to all who were involved, Good Luck recovering.

It's a shame, because 12 people died.

I don't see a point in what he did, really. Calling him insane because he lit a can of whoopass to a theater is a sorry excuse for the hard truth that humans can simply be demented. I say we put a gun in his mouth and say sayonara, sucker.

Oh yeahhh he was sooo awesome, he killed people, and injured people! Ohhh soo cool!

Seriously though, how could you say something like that. What if one of your friends or family members were in that theater? How "awesome" is he then?

I suppose he thought it would be funny to joke about something such as this. I don't think he was being serious, if he is then there is seriously something wrong with him.

Probably.
But I don't see something like this, as something you should joke around about.

also might i add that he was going for his PhD in neurology, so saying it's a "mental illness" doesn't really make sense

If he was arab or black people would still call him insane because he said he was the joker

To those of you saying that they should take away guns from the public:
You are saying the government should go to every single residence in the country and try to take away their guns? First of all, there are people who would go to extreme lengths to keep their guns. I guarantee that if this happened, many of the people trying to take the guns would be shot. Also, they are going to do an extensive search of every single place? How easily could I take my guns and go put them out in the woods under a pile of leaves, the answer is very easily. My house has over 10 guns inside of it. Most of them either locked somewhere or hidden behind or in things. Pretty tough to find all of them. Lets just imagine that this was some crazy person house. They easily could hide guns in a 20 acre area and it would be nearly impossible for any person to find them to take them. This would happen everywhere. So this would make it so all of the people that would use a gun for a bad reason, would hide and keep their guns. Tons and tons of guns would still be out in the public and it would just cause people to get angry and things would go bad.

This shooting was terrible, how could he have gotten access to these expensive and powerful weapons and body armor?
