Dark Knight Rises

Errr....why would you make that assumption?

He clearly didn't have any underground criminal connections. He got what was legal and convenient.

In Canada, he'd probably have shot the theatre up with a single 0.22 if anything. Which would've had dramatically different results.

A far more apt comparison is this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W._R._M...chool_shooting

Not long after Columbine, Canada had a similar school shooting. The difference is instead of semi-automatic assault rifles, all he could get was a sawed-off 0.22.

PS: Canada tightened gun control after the Ecole Polytechnique, and it worked for us. Good comparison after all?

Banning guns over shootings like these is especially retarded given how goddamn rare they are. If you have any sense you're not making bones over it.

[Asher]

It depends on your definition or rare. Mass shootings in the US certainly seem less than rare these days.

You're right though - the vast majority of gun deaths are not mass shootings by crazy white men. They're still deaths caused by guns all the same.

They're pretty rare compared to how awash the US is in private firearms.

It seriously sets off no flags for someone to buy, within 60 days, an assault rifle, shotgun, TWO hand guns, and 6,000 rounds of ammunition.

Dontcha know? He bought the 6,000 rounds of ammo for game hunting. Or in case a guverment offishal intrudes in his home and can protect himself from black helicopters.

He didn't plan to use the 6,000 rounds of ammo for killing people in a theater - that's just a spin by the librul media.

APT stands for Asher's Position (is) True. You do stand corrected.

The best argument for gun control is that it would decrease the amount of guns that are stolen here in the US and end up in Mexico where they are likely to be used to killed Mexicans who get in the way of the drug cartel.

The way Holmes prepred to survive I thought that he probably had some sort of statement to make, but that's obviously not the case.

Or we could just legalize drugs.

Who the hell is this ron reagan and why should I listen to him? He's obviously not the former President.

[Asher]

What he says certainly makes sense.
