How do you know this kid wasn't a "responsible owner" before something snapped? Latest report I saw was he purchased these weapons over 6 months. Again, give me some viable rationale why the average gun owner shouldd have access to a weapon that has the capability of firing more than 30 rounds? For what purpose? Please don't give me the "It's their 2nd Amendment right", or "they want one for sport shooting." How many computers have you seen taken into a public place with the ability to kill 12 people, and injure 59 more? How many people could you kill with two knives in your hand before you were apprehended? Yea, you could drive a car into a large crowd and injure several individuals. But a car is large enough to where if you saw it coming, you could get out of the way, or get into an area where it couldn't go. You're not going to dodge a bullet coming out of an AR-15, and hiding behind certain structures isn't a given the bullet can be stopped. I can unload a 30-round clip out of an AR in less than a minute. Try avoiding those coming at you. Yes, people kill people. The ones that have guns in their hands.
And before you respond with another 2 in. font, the kid would've cared less if he knew someone had a gun in that theatre. THAT'S WHY HE HAD THE BULLET PROOF GEAR ON! HE WAS PREPARED FOR THAT SITUATION! If you would've been there with your weapon, drew it, and managed to hit him while tear gas was in your eyes, and people were screaming and pushing each other around to get out, all that would've happen would he would have turned around, aim his AR-15 with the 100 round drum in your general directon, and sprayed 30 - 50 rounds. You just got yourself and anyone in a 10 ft perimeter of you killed.
HOW DO YOU KNOW THIS KID WASN'T A "RESPONSIBLE OWNER" BEFORE SOMETHING SNAPPED? UMMM CAUSE HE KILLED PEOPLE..... JUST A GUESS....
I THINK THE WHOLE RESPONSIBLE OWNER CATEGORY KINDA GOES HAND IN HAND WITH, NOT KILLING PEOPLE...... YOU ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU SNAP..... Another thing, its not really a sane persons thing to buy ballistics helmet/chest/leg/neck/groin protection, ohh not to mention booby trap your apartment with explosives (HOW MANY MORE PEOPLE COULD HE HAVE KILLED IF HE WOULD OF JUST USED A BOMB AND BLEW UP THE THEATER? HE ALLEGEDLY HAD ACCESS TO ONE..... ).....
Why have access to a gun that can carry that many rounds? Well it boils down to "because you can," what do you want as an answer? Criminals can modify their guns so they do other things then intended, so if you don't sell it, they will make it. The day you can say a sane person commits one of these heinous acts.... then ok blame a gun...... I have yet to see a sane person commit any such acts!

Hey, ban air planes (They are big enough to see coming right?)..... I believe that 4 of those killed more people in seconds....... NOT minutes........then his one 12 people stint (No heartlessness intended here, as it is VERY TRAGIC).......... I didn't see people who pride them selves in terrorism using GUNS......... NOPE..... They use BOMBS and Airplanes.
You guys REALLY ARE MISSING THE POINT of concealed weapons, IF EVERYONE HAD ONE IN THAT THEATER (With reason, don't be stupid with that comment) they would of in ESSENCE BEEN THE POLICE, WHOM ....... ANSWER THIS PLEASE...... DID HE FIRE A SHOT AT THE POLICE? THEY HAD GUNS....... AND HE HAD ALL THE SAME STUFF AS WHEN HE WENT INTO THE THEATER........... AND YOUR ANSWER IS???????????????
I bet that computers play a big part in a lot of bomb detentions around the world....... I bet they put terrorist organizations on the same page......

I will take a theater full of CWP holders any day, I bet this idiot wouldn't have come close to it.........
Fact is you CAN NOT BLAME what they use, if they don't have a gun, they will use something else........
