I was going to comment on good marksmanship, but a crowded theater and a 12 gauge?

CALMLY shooting people and then being arrested easily while claiming to be the Joker.
Tell me that drugs are not involved.
Too bad drug companies are such a huge chunk of revenue for the media.
Anyway this incident follows the same old MO, from the person all the way up to the timing - the UN gun ban treaty where all they need are two votes in the senate.
But everybody I know is saying "bring it".

Oh dear Cinemark had a no guns allowed policy
So tell me, imagine if no weapons were allowed in high sec, such that you could not enter through a get or undock with weapons and perhaps even armor, but any ship in an Orca hull or coming in via WH could, and there was no "instant police"...
Yeah, that's what a gun free zone is like. |

The numbers vary between news sites. From the OP's link: "police say 70 people were wounded".
With my respect to the dead....
The .223 round really sucks that much? No wonder we are still stuck in the middle east. We are under-gunned. Any ex-military here could shed some light as per why so many survived?

It seems most of the fatalities were from the .40 handgun and the shotgun. If that's the case, restrictions on assault rifles are meaningless and William Hughes had it all wrong. "This is the Ninja.

Getting mostly wounded is the norm with personal firearms. Wounding isn't all bad though, since the level of wounding takes the guy out of combat duty, treating wounded ties up valuable resources on the other side and takes even more people off the front line(Medical personel/equipment and soldiers/vehicles to transport them. Killing the guy removes 1 soldier from direct combat, wounding him removes the victim and 2-4 others+vehicle+resources temporarily) and having badly mutilated people is bad for enemy morale. Also with personal armor being widely available and taking in to account normal fighting distances of infantry combat, weapons like shotguns and pistols are at a clear disadvantage. |

Nonsence. I had a shotgun in battlefield BC2 that could be used as a sniper. |

He might have been spraying the AR, while the shotgun and handgun are sometimes harder to spray them. Yeah spray would kill less and injure more, but at the same time, you won't be overwhelmed by the tons of people.
Just poison tip them next time. I will not be voting in the CSM election, so you need to go vote to make up for me. |

Sold out movie theater... 1 12 gauge round would take out 2-3 people a shot, also panicked civilians don't try to overwhelm the attacker. They run or pretend to be dead like they should be for being incompetent and complacent |

And before people try to make snarky comebacks about running at a man with a gun, yes there are articles where this happens. |

Amend the constitution of the united states, to make it no longer legal to own firearms. Since I know there are like a gazillion gun nuts out there I will make a quick FAQ here, so I don't have to keep posting.
Gun nut FAQ:
1. It's my constitutional right to bears arms.
This is true. But it's also true that the constitution is a living document and can be amended. For instance slavery was abolished by an amendment to the constitution.
2. If people can't bear arms then only the criminals will have firearms.
There are roughly 300 or so cases each year in the united states of self defense resulting in death that are ruled "justifiable". The chances of you owning a gun and using that gun in self defense and it being ruled "justified" is almost none.
3. If I don't have a gun then someone can break into my house and I can't defend myself.
Generally speaking people don't break into your house when your home. Contrary to popular belief occupied home invasions are extremely rare. Since people break into your house when your not home that nice new shiny hand cannon you bought is stolen and is now used to further crime not prevent it.
4. Guns don't kill people, people kill people.
No actually guns kill people.
5. If citizens are not armed then the government can take over!
Lets see, Tanks, Air Force, Professional Army, Cruise Missles, Predator Drones, etc etc versus Small Arms.

Looking back through history I cannot think of a single event where people went mad and killed lots of others. It cannot be a coincidence that the first world war happened not long after movies were invented.
Probably has more to do with weapons technology, the reload time on a musket rules out a one man rampage.

Probably because the home owner might have a gun? Again... working as intended. Deterrance is a good thing.
