Horrible tragedy!! More reinforcment for why, like my wallet and keys, I never leave the house without, unarmed and defensless anymore. Stay frosty and safe everyone.

I and another member here just took a class last weekend with Brannon LeBouef. How true are his words on a day like today. "We don't choose the moment, the moment chooses us."

Good video, thanks for sharing. I had not seen it yet.

Very sad! With all the politics and religous whackos anymore I would want security at such a big event if it were my theater, if they would have had the undercover cops working traffic or whatever they were doing in the hall this could have ended differently? I would hire security for all the birthday partys and such at my house if everyone wasnt already packing.

There's a lot of bad in this world and it rarely makes sense or is easily understood. My heart goes out to the families of those that lost their lives.

While I understand your reasoning, this would be effectively a police-state, and I don't think that's what any Americans truly want in our country... having police presence and first responder services will always be critical, but expecting to have the public-paid resources at every possible event such as this, is not realistic without drastic economic impact. As sad and unfortunate as this shooting (any shooting!) is, it simply cannot be anyone elses responsibility to keep me and my family safe, than my own.

A terrible day, very sad. Read that the shooter used an AR for the rampage. Given how unhinged so many on the left are, will we be hearing about some imagined connection between this site and the shooter? I sure hope not...

Folks, with the reporting that an AR was used by this very deranged individual, at a theater, in CO, you must all realize that this site WILL be drawing an increased number of "guests" for a while.

You can imagine that many of these guests will be part of the Anti Firearm community looking for anything they can to use against our freedom.

I beg you all to heed KevDen2005's suggestion in another thread to watch everything you post to ensure it can't be used to further their agenda.

We ALL agree that this is a very tragic situation. Let's pause to reflect on this situation. If you are inclined to praying, do this. If you know of a way to provide aid or assistance at this point, please share it with the rest of us so that we can work to improve this situation for those affected.


**NEWS BREAK: It's just been confirmed, the 6 year old little girl victim has passed away. ** ETA: Sorry, already covered.

I find it interesting/odd that when I was at this theater last week on a Tuesday night, there were about 6 cops hanging out in the lobby. I wasn't sure if it was for a call, because they were really loitering.

I'm not saying they should have been there, I'm sure they have better things to do than babysit a movie theater.

Nothing much to add, except. this "Never let a tragedy go to waste"
Unfortunately there are those who will beat the drums of ban's, restrictions and tougher laws for those who want to legally own a gun.
You as a law abiding citizen if not already decided, must make up your mind where you stand.
