It just goes to prove that if someone really wants a gun, they'll get it. There are too many AK47s in the world, cheaply available, especially in the middle east. Smuggling is an old crime, people know how to do it.
Everything I have seen says that nobody was shot, which quells the whole idea of a "mass shooting," and that it's possible the gun wasn't even real. Our media SERIOUSLY needs to lay off the term Mass Shooting because they clearly don't understand what it means.
However, Focus later reported that the man was armed with a blank weapon, and that people were only hurt by tear gas.
Holy shit, every single news site was blowing up with "25 DEAD IN CINEMA MASSACRE!" Come to find out, nobody was even shot, DAFUQ is going on with the media.
It's how modern journalism is set up. Everyone rushes to post/re-post whatever they can find. Doesn't matter if it's true or not. Better to be wrong and first, then to wait and be last.
Sickening. And I can guarantee the social justice warriors are out there right now, just blowing up facebook... LOL
That's what you got from the replies? We're "happy"? You got smudges on those glasses or what?? edit: I mean I AM happy that 25 people weren't killed...
Ah well, turns out according to this morning's reports that rumors of mass shooting are not correct. It appears the gunman had a gun shooting blanks and is the only death. That is the latest report. How terribly un-American. And if gun laws cut gun deaths in half - that would be pretty good. Not great, but an improvement. I'd bet the "extra" 50 people would think so.
If they're really interested in saving lots of lives, they'll outlaw automobiles. The 50,000+ deaths from car accidents a year who'd be alive would be really happy.
Yeah man, it's fucked up when somebody drives their Prius through a movie theater killing hundreds, or drives their car on campus taking innocent lives. We should sell tanks to everybody so we can protect ourselves from this automobile epidemic. And newspapers... You know every year 10 Americans suffer news paper related deaths. Don't even get me started on Billboards, granted once we get rid of motor vehicles billboards won't be nearly as deadly.
