Why would they stop showing it if the baby was dressed as the joker? :\

 

[Wazzerphuk]

There's an assault rifle in most bedroom closets in Switzerland. Geneva is the site of constant running battle, oh wait a minute.

This. Don't they have the most guns per head in the world? There's really minimal violent crime in Switzerland too. Probably because everyone's too busy living in such a fucking awesome place.

I am.

At best you're being over cautious.

At worst your doing exactly what he wanted?

The shooter was dressed as the joker.

 

[TdC]

yeah? according to the news, he also came from a decent family. LETS BAN THE MIDDLE CLASS!!!!

I told ya, normal citizens in America love to get their hands on a M16/M4 variant with scope attachment of course!

It's just crazy that people in America have access to military assault rifles, i remember our holiday a few years back to Floria walked into a store for some food and half the store was a gun shop and they pretty much had anything you wanted and people were at the counter having a hands on with an M4

 

[Punishment]

Nuts

 

[ECA]

Cmon Aada, the AR15 is the semi-auto version - it isnt a fully auto assault rifle - that would just be silly, these weapons are for self defence and it's a shame these kind of things happen. /actual republican sentiment in the us.

 

[Punishment]

Never said it was full auto, still a stupid weapon for anyone to be able to legally own w/o a reason

Ah, the Swiss myth. Switzerland, population 7.9m, gun related murders, 68. UK, population 60m, gun related murders, 14. You're 368 times more likely to be killed by a gun in Switzerland than you are in the UK.

Not if you are at war with someone though.

 

[Job]

He wasn't dressed as the Joker, just claimed to be him,
Th Dark Knight was a 12a in UK, which means any age accompanied with an adult, just watch it again and say to yourself if the scenes were suitable for ANYONE under 12.

 

[TdC]

according to recent media, he had 4 (!) guns and 6000 (!!!) bullets with him. I'm sorry, how can a dropped out student even get these things in such a volume? What the actual fuck, man!

A Denver news site:

The theater gunman was dressed in black and was wearing full tactical gear including a ballistics helmet, a ballistics vest, a groin protector, throat protector, tactical gloves and other gear, police said. He was well armed with an AR-15 .223-caliber rifle, a Remington 12-gauge shotgun and a 40-caliber Glock handgun, police said. Another 40-caliber Glock handgun was found in the suspect's white Hyundai behind the theater.

Aurora Police Chief Dan Oates said Holmes came with a full arsenal.

"In the last 60 days he purchased four guns at local metro gunshops and through the Internet he purchased more than 6,000 rounds of ammunition, more 3,000 rounds of .223 for the assault rifle, 3,000 rounds of .40-caliber ammunition for the two Glocks in his possession and 300 rounds for the 12-gauge shotgun," Oates said. " Also through the Internet, he purchased multiple magazine for the .223-caliber assault rifle, including one 100-round drum magazine which was recovered from the scene."

The drum could allow a shooter to fire 50 to 60 rounds in a minute -- even as a semi-automatic, Oates said.

I simply can NOT believe that a person toting that kind of kit can even walk down a street without getting all kinds of police asking nasty questions, let alone actually go in to a public place.

It was a premiere of Batman in the good ole USA, I bet there were loads of people dressed up in various outfits that you or I would be alarmed at. Maybe he was going for a Batman-esque look with the body armour etc, maybe he had a cape to complete the ensemble.

It's shocking that he managed to get into the cinema with that much firepower on him, though. :\

All I see on my phone is Dean Winchester from Supernatural. Am I missing something?

dude....come ON! it's not even cosplay normal anymore

 

[BloodOmen]

Gun laws in the USA are naff, enough said. You could argue if they didn't have guns they would use knifes but lets face it, the chances of him knifing 12 people to death and injuring 50 are slim to none. Reap what you sow America... the fact that a baby was killed just makes it 100x worse and more shameful.

 

[Job]

It's hard to find the facts,but Ithink he pretended to take a cellcall, walked out to his car, got the ammo then burst in through the emergency exits

Bit off as they're not legal over here What's it like in comparison with Yankland, which was the main point I was trying to make?

 

[Lamp]

I heard on the radio that the shooter's house was so extensively booby-trapped that police will have to detonate their way in rather than de-activate.

Apparently the guy's a PhD and his only brush with the law was a speeding ticket.

I believe the proper comparison is with the US, which in 2007 had 31,224 gun-related deaths. From a population of about 302,000,000. I'm no mathematician but even I can see that the US has a bit of a problem there.

As Chris Rock says, they don't need to ban guns, they need to ban bullets.
Anyway just searching the torrents for the handcam recording someone was
making at the time..man that's what I call 3D!

[throdgrain]

Remington 870 my favourite shotgun, I got a beautiful one, it doesnt make me a mass murderer ...

 

[caLLous]

Of course it doesn't. Guns don't kill people, etc etc.

 

[TdC]

indeed. what Cal said tbh. also, you're not several marbles short of a full set. I don't think that you'd choose to act out a counterstrike game in real life, and if you were a marble or two short I believe you'd choose a different way to opt out of the world than shooting babies.

 

[TdC]

actually that reads kind of weird. for the record, I mean the above in a very positive way. I'm sorry if it came out wrong; in my defense I've had a lot of wine tonight
