Yes God bless the victims but to say that this is common place in a country with close to half a billion people is a bit disingenuous.

Anyway, watching the coverage it was interestingly obvious how the language used while reporting this tragedy seemed to be starkly different than that of the murder of the five military personnel a week ago by the media who one, strive to deny Islamic terror and two, immediately try to go into pushing their anti-gun rhetoric even before the bodies were removed from the scene. Some of these people have no scruples at all.
Bobby Jindal put them in their place quickly though.
Maybe it's time to ban movie theaters...makes as much sense.

The fact that there will never be any way to prevent a lunatic from committing acts of violence if they set their mind to it seems completely lost on some people.

But yeah, senseless loss of life for those poor people and their families.

I agree with the "gun free zone" sentiment but I haven't heard any reference that this theater was one.

Just wait for it, the NRA will come out with a statement that all theatre atterndants should be armed.

Not being armed certainly didn't work out too well for those people.

Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal said two teachers were in the theater – one of whom jumped in front of her colleague and was shot, but still managed to pull a fire alarm that alerted authorities and “saved many lives”.

So how many more people would not have been shot, if the teacher had been armed and shot the gunman , instead of going for the fire alarm? We will never know.

How many people were armed?

Louisiana is an open carry state, and offers CCW permits.

Tragic event.

Amen to all of that ^

Things like this are becoming so common place down there now, I'm surprised it makes front page news anymore.

Tragic, it boggles my mind how these mentally ill maniacs can rationalize killing anyone but themselves.....

Two shot in a theater and Obama starts beating his gun control drum. Five are stabbed to death in OK and no demands for action from the president.

The Lafayette, Louisiana, Grand Theatre–site of the tragic July 23 attack in which a gunman killed two, wounded at least seven others, then took his own life–is a gun free zone.

The movie theater chain does not even allow law-abiding citizens with concealed carry permits to carry for self-defense.

Yup another massacre in a gun free zone. Interesting how cowards always take the easy target.

Do you think that they seem to choose the gun free locations by accident?

Sarcasm isn't easy to get across on the Internet.

What would you suggest p2pjunky? Perhaps a bag of peanut M&Ms and a slingshot?

Thanks for that. I hadn't heard if it was or not. Not sure "interesting" is the right word but maybe "logically" or "of course", cowards choose gun free/soft targets.

No I think you misunderstand my meh.

It is a "what does anyone really expect?" meh.

Seriously, gun free zones in the land of the 2nd ammendment equals an easy target for a nutjob to commit his crime.

Either A) He was in a gun free zone and did not abide by the law,

B) He killed people indiscriminately and did not abide by the law,

C) He is on meds and did not abide by the law

an oh I could go on but the fact is that the government facilitated this.

Man they said citizens who want to carry and protect the soldiers would be prosecuted.

They are setting up for things like this to happen.

Not meh "oh well innocents killed."

Meh, bound to happen with the idiots at the helm they have.

EDIT: I just guessed it was a gun free zone. Looks like I'm right. Wasn't hard to figure though.

No surprise. It is all part of a disarmament agenda.

15 Black guys beat a white guy while shouting racial slurs at him just a few days ago. Nothing in the media. A deranged white guy shoots 10 black people, tear down mount rushmore.

5 Army/Navy officers killed by a MUSLIM with an TERRORIST agenda, not much of a peep. Except, "we don't know if he was muslim" and a lecture from obama about tolerance to islam.

Light up the white house with rainbow colours because the gays can now marry within hours of the decision, but wait for 3 or 4 days to order flags at half mast for the soldiers shot.

This is part of a wider progressive, liberal, socialist agenda where minorities and musls can do no wrong. Straights and whites are the devil. Blame guns not the shooters. This is ON SCHEDULE AS PLANNED.

It is time for everyone worldwide to wake up. Either you have to be able to put the puzzle pieces together and see the conspiracy of it all or you choose to ignore it and knowingly facilitate it happening.

Think we're immune up here?

Wanna roll the dice in October?

[elkdump]

America ( Obama) should be pounding the drum on how to control LUNITICS , but you never hear a word about " Lunitic Control " as said before blame the gun and excuse the maniac.

America has to acknowledge the fact Americans HATE Americans , there lays the problem.

Oh so very untrue.

Obama stated that he will NOT address gun control issues in his final 18mnths in power.

But nice guesswork

WASHINGTON -- U.S. President Barack Obama says the issue that has left him "the most stymied" is the debate over gun control.

Obama tells the BBC he is "frustrated" that the U.S. does not have "commonsense gun safety laws, even in the face of repeated mass killings."

Obama says that while fewer than 100 Americans have been killed by terrorism since September 11, 2001, tens of thousands have been killed by gun violence.

He says the nation's inability to resolve the issue is "distressing" but that he intends to keep working on it.

Obama's interview with the BBC was recorded Thursday afternoon, hours before a deadly shooting at a Louisiana movie theatre.

Yes I saw that interview.
But he's NOT beating the gun control drum.
He's only stating that he couldnt do more to help the problems that exist during his time as Pres.
Thats all !!!!
And I'll repeat one more time......he stated that gun control is NOT on his list of things to do in the last 18mnths of power in a later interview.

[Redfrog]

gun free zone? Makes sense. no guns, so they ran, pulled the fire alarm, screamed and finally the only guy who had a gun put a stop to the killer.

He was the guy doing all the shooting, but still it took a gun to stop him.

Gunfree zone indeed.

[TanksNHank]

Hey fellas you can't carry guns into any movie theatres in Canada, Australia or Great Britain for that matter. How many mass shootings have there been in any of these regions?

The United States on average has nearly six times more gun related homicides per 100,000 than Canada, Australia, and Great Britain combined.
