I guess you missed the fact that the guy didn't take any weapons in with him. He retrieved them from where he had stashed them outside a fire exit. Maybe now you'll propose welding all fire exit doors shut? I see no reason for us to overreact and prohibit others from harmless fun because of the actions of one deranged individual. All of the rules and regulations you can think of won't deter one determined individual.

Everything you said here would have solved nothing that happened the other day. People dress up to have fun and to try and out do other fans. Not for me, mind you, but let them have their fun. If you are crazy enough to show up for the movie 4 hours early, you are there to have a good time.

Want to make sure you are safe, the movie theaters should change the rule about not bringing in concealed weapons. Next time someone starts to shoot, may there be someone with a cool head and a fine weapon to take the shooter out.

Susan, maybe we should ban Batman? Those movies are pretty violent. Well at least they didn't show nudity. We all know that causes problems.

Hey... let's ban midnight movies! Every tragedy is just another opportunity to remove another American Freedom. Never let a good crisis go to waste.

Or as statistics have proven kill more innocent people!

It may not have a direct effect on crime in an overall statistic, but it would ensure that I would not be fighting negative odds if I were ever in an situation that threatened my health or life. Also, if there is no impact positive or negative, then let's stop infringing on everyone's rights and allow the individual to decide whether they need to carry or not.

The actual problem with the Florida study is that most business made it against their company policy (Like malls, theaters and restaurants) to bring weapons in. Made it hard for people to legally carry more than the first few months. So the law was diminished to be of any help in situations like Colorado.

It is almost sad how scared many people are of guns, which kill way less people than cars. I can only think it is because they are not around them, taught the proper handling and care of them and respect for them. Maybe we should introduce a required 2nd Amendment Class in all high schools in Harford County. Make it a letter sport. Teach respect and training.

The Florida study hasn't been debunked per se but does leave the issue open. Other studies do so as well. Given that there is no real obvious conclusion one way or another I'd prefer to have to the option to carry...
