Maybe this guy is a Marvel comic fan who didn’t want Batman to do better than The Avengers on opening night… But seriously, why couldn’t this have happened during Magic Mike? ---

If there was going to be a mass shooting at the movies why couldn’t it be someone trying to enjoy the movie snapping and shooting the bunch of asshole who won’t shut up or put away their cell phones on torch mode? ---

After all of this the fact remains that gun control only stops law abiding citizens from getting guns. I’ve personally helped arm and informed many WNYers on what their rights and legalities are. But seriously, if just one of the people in the front row was carrying a permit, do you think so many people would have been hurt? If this guy knew that the odds were someone was going to shoot back, would he have still done it? ---

Even if I were armed, I would have a hard time shooting. There are just too many liabilities these days. In this situation it would be very easy to hit an innocent person. Also imagine there are several armed people trying to shoot at one subject, you don’t think that in the confusion at least one law abiding citizen would get shot because they were confused for another attacker? Lax gun control is a Utopian ideal, and does not work in our society. ---

Yup, Batman will take the brunt of it and the fact of the poor movie security…far be it that the actual INDIVIDUAL involved be responsible for his actions! :ham: I heard a news report this AM that there is a call now for more movie security and may also place bans on ppl dressing up for movies, a la Harry Potter, Star Wars, etc.:ham: [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/movie-theatre-shooting/224723.md?page=1) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/movie-theatre-shooting/224723.md?page=3)
