    Death-Obsessed Culture, Not Gun Rights, To Blame For ‘Batman’ Shooting

    Political opportunists seize upon tragedy to attack second amendment

    Within hours of the tragic ‘Batman’ shooting in Aurora, Colorado, political opportunists have seized upon the incident to push for gun control, with New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg demanding that both Mitt Romney and Barack Obama “stand up and tell us what they’re going to do about” mass shootings.



    Exactly as we predicted in our earlier article, leftists have wasted no time in exploiting the actions of a lone lunatic for political grist, with Bloomberg calling on the two presidential candidates to crack down on gun rights.

    We knew ghouls like Bloomberg would rush to exploit this tragedy to try and crush the right to self defense.

    Quite how either Romney or Obama have the power to reverse a Hollywood-inspired culture that serves up lashings of violence to young people like turkey at Thanksgiving is anyone’s guess.

    In addition, the notion that either of the presidential candidates can put a halt to a juggernaut pharmaceutical industry that doles out violence-causing SSRI drugs to youngsters like penny candy is clearly asinine.

    “I mean, there’s so many murders with guns every day,” said Bloomberg. “It’s just gotta stop. And instead of these two people, President [Barack] Obama and Governor [Mitt] Romney talking in broad things about, they want to make the world a better place. OK. Tell us how. And this is a problem. No matter where you stand on the Second Amendment, no matter where you stand on guns, we have a right to hear from both of them, concretely, not just in generalities, specifically, what are they going to do about guns?” Bloomberg told WOR News Talk Radio 710.

    Bloomberg was followed in his idiocy by CNN host and all-round smarm-merchant Piers Morgan, who in a series of tweets hastily seized upon the tragedy to promote his lust for disarming the general public.

    “America has got to do something about its gun laws. Now is the time,” said Morgan.

    “Lunatics like this will always try and get guns. It should be 100,000 times harder than it is for them to do so. That’s my point,” he added.

    Comment: The globalist gun grabbers and the commie left in our government are going to use what happened to go after our guns again, its happened be for, seems it just happened again.

    Expect the left-wing nuts to start demanding more gun laws as usual.

    I'm sure Obama and his tools in Congress will give in.

    NOt that either. We will quit having tragedys like this when we quit looking for excuses to blame anyone and everyone other than the shooter for his crime.

    "Louie Gohmert: Aurora Shootings Result Of 'Ongoing Attacks On Judeo-Christian Beliefs' "

    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/20/louie-gohmert-aurora-shootings_n_1689099.html

    "WASHINGTON -- Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) said Friday that the shootings that took place in an Aurora, Colo. movie theater hours earlier were a result of "ongoing attacks on Judeo-Christian beliefs" and questioned why nobody else in the theater had a gun to take down the shooter."

    "the shootings were still "a terrorist act" that could have been avoided if the country placed a higher value on God."

    Where did this guy get his money? He apparently had no job, was a college flunkee and yet had an apartment/internet/premier memberships to slut sites.

    He goes out and buys at least 3 guns in one day and orders 6k rds of ammunition online plus cs or smoke canisters and a ton of tactical gear.


    This (*)(*)(*)(*)s expensive. Especially when you have no job...

    Probably just ran up a debit - he could have gotten a credit card or two easily enough if his credit wasn't terrible.

    Uh...they could have.

    But the *******s actually think gun laws prevent this type of stuff when all it does is make it possible.

    No, they could have shot blinded into the crowd through a cloud of teargas and causes a lot more injury and death. No one in the room would be in any shape to make a difference.

    There was more than 30sec according to eye witness accounts from when he threw the smoke until he pulled the trigger.

    Try that when Im at a theater and you will get a bullet in the face.

    According to witnesses he was in clear view for most of his onslaught. He exited thought the emergency exit shortly after the movie started likely propping open the door so he could get back in reentered shortly thereafter popped the cannisters and opened fire.

    And you are wrong. Tear gas doesn't blind you it just makes your eyes water. I've been tear gassed. While it isn't at all a pleasant experience it isn't really all that terribly incapacitating if you can keep your wits about you.

    You've never been hit with tear gas, have you. You won't be able to see in front of your face, let alone aim a gun. Tear gas lasts a lot longer than 30 seconds without a special spray to kill the effects. The guy took his time because he knew no one would be able to do anything.

    For anyone with no police or military training, trying to fire a gun while having teargas in your eyes in no different than firing randomly.

    The shooting would have happened long before the police showed up.

    And yes other people very well may have been shot on accident but you know what? Maybe the next guy planning something will think twice before he carries out his plan if he knows he's going to have 30 people gunning him down.

    Crazy people don't think. I mean, the guy was screaming at cops that he was the joker. He was a few fries short of a happy meal. I would not be suprised if his lawyer goes for insanity and gets him off.

    All this name calling is ridiculous. I lean pretty far to the left yet I support the right to bear arms. Why do you assume all liberals have to be against the right to bear arms?

    Yes I have. Ive stood in a room in basic training for a minute breathing it in and telling my drill sergeant my name rank and serial number before I was allowed to leave. Ive been exposed to tear gas, tasers and more (*)(*)(*)(*) than your little brain can imagine.

    Also, its likely that it was only smoke and not CS. I initially thought it was cs as well, but it doesnt look like it was.


    Now ask me if I could shoot someone in the face in a smoky environment.

    The answer is easily, especially with over 30secs.


    You have no idea what you are talking about, so you should just stop.

    Well to be fair, many liberals consider all conservatives to be racists. There are nutjobs and idiots on both sides.

    That might possibly have been the whole idea. Although frankly the bar for a legal insanity defense is very high.

    You can aim a gun accurately in the dark? Impressive. And a tear gas-filled, dark, theatre isn't a 'smoky environment'. That (*)(*)(*)(*) is designed to incapacitate. But you knew that.

    ...and it wasnt tear gas, it was smoke.

    Even if it were CS, CS is heavier than air and sinks.

    Have you any kind of training whatsoever? It is quite possible for someone to aim a weapon even under the effects of CS. CS is a mild irritant that causes more panic than pain, and that only in untrained people.

    Naturally the longer you are exposed to it the worse it gets, however had that theater allowed guns in there as the state of CO does someone with any kind of training had more than enough time to drop this guy. There was more than a 30sec window from when he popped the smoke till he pulled the trigger.

    I could have shot him 20 times in that time frame including time to reload.
