After Aurora, what will big brother do next?

Obama, Romney views have evolved toward gun rights - Yahoo! News

Calls for gun control stir little support - Yahoo! News

Maybe its just too early, but the panic from the arizona senator shooting just isn't there.

I hope you're right! Some crimes just can't be presciently government planned and controlled against - other than by law-abiding citizens being given their inalienable right to protect themselves, by carrying their own handguns.

You will see more off-duty cops at movie theaters, especially with big openings. Many already do this. Depending on the local area, some departments may provide an extra officer, but it is unlikely given the current state of government budgets. Many movie theaters will just pay the $30/hour or so and hire an officer or two.

Big brother will attempt a few gun control measures: Limited capacity magazine requirements, one-firearm-a-month type laws, large ammo quantity purchase bans and/or record keeping. Not sure if any of it will pass.

I'll just add this here... Diane F., was on FOX News Sunday, on local 59, this morning, talking about how NO ONE "NEEDS" 100 round "drum" magazines, they are NOT used for hunting or self-defense... so it is "out there".....

I very rarely go to the theatre now anyway. Why pay for overprices tickets, eat overpriced unhealthy food so I can sit in a dark room with a bunch of strangers with my feet stuck to the floor. All this so I can watch a bunch of liberal, socialists that are overpaid, untalented idiots that need to be told what to do and say. They think they know all and look down on us. The last good movie I watched was "Act of Valor", at least I had some respect for those starring in that film.

I'm almost to a similar point-- practically swearing off theaters. I find that I don't enjoy overpaying for a movie experience that involves overpriced, yet terrible food, dirty facilties, usually crappy sound (loud, but awful), and content that is merely unoriginal when not flat out offensive.

I saw Avengers only because I was on vacation in Hawaii and new the Dole Cannery was a good place to go.

Heck, even "family" movies are starting to suck. Cars 3 was basically just a propaganda film teaching kids how evil Big Oil is when alternative fuels are the "good guys."

Anyway, I'm voting with my feet.

Just look at some of the articles in the various papers. The big complaint from the left is that the Senate has too much of rural influence (as leftwingers tend to live in urban areas). Most articles in the WaPo and Politico basically state that nothing is going to be done as too many Senators are rejecting any gun control measures.

Remember it takes something of this level to get congress moving. And there are too many of us now counter acting for the left to have as great an influence as they once did.

And it is coming across that James Holmes was a member of Occupy Black Bloc, the violent wing of the OWS movement. The libertarian-socialists had huge issues with this Batman movie as it made the OWS folks look like villians.

Moreover it is clear that there are those who feel that they are smarter than the rest of us. Thus they are willing to do things that show how stupid the rest of us are. REmember how the anarchist hacker group Anonymous targeted people to destroy just to show how much smarter they were? Same with these anarchists in Occupy Black Bloc. If Obama wins next year then he will purge them as he no longer needs them.

And many of these libertarian-socialists (so called anarchists, Norm Chomsky is their mentor) dislike the Progressives who they see as controlling nannies (feminism which their mothers bought into) thus they strike out to harm progressives, feminists, as well as big corporate types. Think that the Progressives can get these folks under control without using national health care (mental health) as a way to get them off the street and into treatment? BTW that is how the USSR dealt with dissent.

Diane is always 'out there' trying to drum up support. Does she still keep her assault handgun under her pillow?

The current line from the Brady bunch is that the House is basically an adjunct of the NRA, but that the Senate is reasonable. Why do they care, we now know that the president does not need Congress or the Supreme Court to enact his policies.

Well, both sides know if they go after guns big in an election year, its political suicide. However, this is what is most likely to happen so they can say they did something, restrictions on body armor to civilians. They are liable to ban civilians from possessing it even though in this case, it really didn't have any effect cause nobody shot back. The other thing I see getting restricted, gas masks.

I'm hoping nothing happens as no amount of laws would of stopped this guy, perfectly clean record, smart guy, but deep down, he just plain snapped, most likely because he may of failed a test who got turned down from a girl he liked, who knows.

There is just too many of us who will now be on the phone Monday to congress. It is not any particular item but rather that we oppose banning of anything as unconstitutional. Liberty means that we make the choices, not some group of elites.

The Tea Party has gotten us awake. Now the left is confused, tactics that used to work no longer are effective. And one of their own, this Holmes guy, struck out at them. The blood is on the hands of the left this time. Big time.

Now that Congress seems to be listening re the 2A, is there anything we can do about the DHS, TSA and PATRIOT Act?

 

[Loco179]

This is a fun topic to say the least.

1. If they do anything huge like TSA at the shows. Hollywood will suffer greatly.

2. Hollywood is already suffering greatly with a huge decrease in audience with bigger costs.

3. Hollywood will continue their anti-2a song, there is no changing that.

4. Batman will be a huge flop now and no matter if the movie sucked or not. They will be paid for it.

 

[Blackhawk2001]

Just heard on the news that the newsreader and his puppetmasters decry the fact that "there is little will on either side to confront the gun issue". Waaaaaa.

Also heard the new Batman movie grossed $152M this weekend, in spite of the shooting Friday night.

Interestingly enough, this news broadcast actually included a pro-gun advocate making the argument for self-defense capabilities against shooters. Yeah, they picked the most hick-ish guy they could find, but it didn't squelch the message.

Vote for candidates that say they are against them ..... oh wait, that didnt work

 

[Hookeye]

What would Big Brother do???? I doubt they'd ban Hollywood.

Maybe ban theaters, have all movies go straight to rental. Pay 4X the price of current new release (to fund some feel good do nothing programs).
Late fees are jail time.

Opinion in Brief

Opinion in Brief


"What happened in Colorado in the early hours of [Friday] morning was not a 'tragedy' but a willful act of mass murder. Beyond his age, name, and ethnicity, nobody yet knows who the shooter is, or why he chose to do what he did. In my view, this is a blessing, albeit a temporary one; for, as has been the way in recent years, once his party registration, television-viewing habits, and random scribblings become known to the public, all sorts of hysterical speculation and unlettered accusations will burst forth. Whole groups will be vilified, blame will be apportioned to those many times removed, and the shooter will be partially absolved of blame by those who prefer to see fault in video games or talk radio or political rhetoric or anything else that can be conscripted to explain why terrible things happen to good people. Few will point out that unless someone commits an atrocity in the name of an ideology -- Timothy McVeigh, for example -- their political beliefs are wholly irrelevant. ... [T]his crime was ultimately about people. It was about the shooter, the victims, and their families -- and very little else besides -- and we would do well to avoid breathlessly proposing radical changes to our constitutional order because a man abused his liberty." --columnist Charles C. W. Cooke

Report from the BBC on James Holmes

The owner of a gun range said he told his staff to keep James Holmes from becoming a member.

James Holmes, 24, sat in court in a red jail suit with dyed orange hair, and appeared sleepy during the proceedings.

If that^ is the case, I have seen my last movie on the big screen.

BS...

If your local Theater would hire a Tom Selleck look alike you, you would go there like it was a new ride at the amusement park...
