More inspired posting from LJ? Those cases date back decades. But again, You have no comprhension of numbers beyond 1. All the same to you.

There a many more factors to consider, However, How many incidents of serious assault etc have turned into homicide due to the easy accessibility of guns? Guns are too lethal a weapon to have laying around everywhere. What would otherwise be serious injury can result in death because the person used a weapon very efficient at killing.

What? Guns aren't just "laying around everywhere". I live in the south, where people are all gung-ho about their right to bear arms, and I've personally only seen a handful of people carrying/owning a firearm, let alone ever using said firearm. You're talking as if the gun issue is a big one. Most people don't even care to own a gun unless they hunt or intend to keep it for self defense inside their home.

Crazy, homicidal maniacs and those who think they'll prove a point by committing heinous acts like this will always find a way to get the tools they need.

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"] Happens in other countries including Australia. Though Australia requires 4 deaths so they discount that shooting of 7 people in 2002 since only 2 died.LJS9502_basic

Does such an event event make the news in America? 7 wounded, 2 dead is a bad car accident.

Does anyone else think that The Daily Mail and Christy Lemire hired the gunman to change everyone else's opinions to match theirs of the TDKR?

[QUOTE="Netherscourge"]

This is like reason #1 why you don't go to these movie openings anymore.

If people are crazy enough to get dressed up like Batman, you know there 1 or 2 out there who are REALLY messed up and looking to go Postal.

Another killing spree brought to you from the 2nd Amendment of the US Constitution.

Netherscourge

Exactly. Land of the free, indeed.

You know it.

IT ALL MAKES SENSE!

It's a bit sad watching people make complete fools of themselves thinking this incident is something to joke about. How lame can you be? bnarmz

Indeed! People are free to acquire guns. What's the point of your post?

Or were you being sincere? I read sarcasm.

My point is that people are ruled by fear.

[QUOTE="Ravensmash"][QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"] Is it easier? Last I checked most countries have a thriving black market in guns so if someone really wants one....they can get it. And in the US most guns used in violent crimes are illegal.LJS9502_basic

Edit: Anyway, I'm not getting into this because I'm not necessarily for tight firearm controls in all circumstances, nor do I wish to see Americans have their guns taken away - just making a statement.

My point is that people are ruled by fear.

Scarebaby

Well, they can either be ruled by the somewhat irrational fear of a random psychopath mowing them down at the theater, or simply by oppression of the basic right to buy whatever you feel that you want.

Either way, people are "ruled" by something.

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"][QUOTE="Ravensmash"] Yes it's easier. Any legal citizen has access, and any of those citizens could 'flip' - much harder for a disturbed individual to grab hold of a firearm at short notice when there are tighter regulations. That's my point. Ravensmash

I don't count firearms as a basic right for everyone to purchase. Then again, I'm not an American.

This guy. This guy has sense.

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"][QUOTE="Ravensmash"] What? I'm not getting you now. Gun crime occurs here, but it is far rarer than countries with looser laws - it doesn't take a genius to work out that firearm regulation could be linked to that.

Tell me, how is a gun used gun correctly? To kill people? To frighten them? To keep them in order?
