No guns, much less death.

The problem with talking about this is it satisfies the killer's "Herostratus Syndrome" cravings.

treaclefingers, msw2525 and MingSubu please explain why the annual average of murders by guns is thirteen times higher in the US compared to this other states if the availability of guns is not the reason.

People kill, not guns.
Thank you for saying this!
People, if they want to do harm to others are going to it regardless of guns being legal or illegal or whatever. If they are determined nothing is going to stop them, and people acting like making gun ownership illegal across the board is a solution to stop crazy people from doing horrible things are being ignorant and incredibly naive.
So true.
It's not the guns fault, it's the people's fault. The only thing that guns do is allow the person to kill huge numbers of people.
That is also not the gun's fault. Poor gun gets all the blame.

There have been massive gun shootings in countries that ban fireweapon...
"guns make us safer" may have proved wrong, but so did "no guns make us safer", ask Breivii's victims.

And was the movie good? Because frankly, the previous "Dark Knight" was a bloated expensive turd.
Getting shot while watching a bad movie is imho terminally tacky...

Why should I? You will doubt any source I come up with. Just do some research for yourself.

America is a sexually repressed society based on mythical achievement of status.
You can buy guns and ammo, watch insane violence on TV but one ounce of skin or sexual reference gets you an R movie rating. Kill people on screen and it PG or PG 13.
This guy was in the theater. He knew that women, children and even babies (why a parent would take their kids is beyond me) and he went out the side exit, propped the door open, changed into armor and strapped on the guns only to return and shoot at innocent people.
America is imploding all on it's own.

It could have happened anywhere at any time. It's the one year anniversary of the tragic shootings in Norway. Was that during a violent movie?Quote

"The only thing I can think to say is that's a pretty f-ucked up thing to post."
That's bleak humor. What else can you do expect restate the obvious ("tragedy" "horrible event" "what a sicko" "I'm in shock" ).
What puzzled me is the fact that several movie-goers thought the shooting was part of the movie... hence my sick joke.
My point is : how many ppl are killed onscreen during this 3rd "Dark Knight" movie? 50? 100? I saw the 2nd DK and it was a disgusting bloodbath from start to finish. Freely available weapons are a problem but stupid movies that solely rely on acts of violence upon acts of violence are one, too (imo).
Could this have happened during a Woody Allen film...? Think about it!

These don't seem like terribly outlandish stats...and for the record, I'm not in with the 'in crowd' here...sorry MingSubu.
