Who needs the movie: isn't that the premise behind legalizing pot?

I saw Star Trek: Into Darkness, The Great Gatsby, Iron Man 3, Oblivion, and Fast and Furious 6 all on opening weekend. So far I'm 0 for 5 in the mass shooting department. I think you'll be okay, OP.
I went to Great Gatsby on opening night in the hopes a lonely rich man would shower me with riches!
Also, I don't think mass shooting was the fear of the OP. Just violence in general. Remember when The Fast and The Furious came out and ricers were wrecking their cars all over the parking lots?
Just watched I-3 and probably hit ST next monday, matinee. But i carry CONCEALED.Quote:

There is a little genuine concern and a little tinfoil hat involved. I see this as a movie that could easily be the target of an agenda of sorts especially since there have been enough failures on GC recently that it needs a boost. OR It is something that someone will emulate etc.Quote:

While an active shooter scenario isn't something I want to get involved in, I have been present for two already in my lifetime. The second one I was out with my wife, and at the time did not have my CCW nor had I even thought I would ever need more than my edc knife. That was a game changer, especially when the only thing between us and the shooter were about 5 feet of air and a 30" wide brick pillar.
My concern is solely based on the climate, the content of the movie, and of all the movies out there that someone might emulate in a parking lot or in the theater itself, this one has the most potential to draw in that element. How many Italian tough guys thought they were Rocky in the 80's and got the shit stomped out of them for their stupidity?
Also odds of getting hit by lightning 1/10,000 , odds of getting bit by a shark 1/300,000 (In the United States) ...odds for getting killed are way lower
I wish it was The Purge Washington,DC
