    Still, I see his logic. In a perfect world (that still has muderous rampage-killers), everyone would whip out their sidearms as soon as they see the door kicked open, and the gunman would find himself staring at least 40 various firearms. If he shoots, they shoot back, and in a perfect world, no one will miss-fire or hit someone else in a panic, and it won't turn into an absolute bloodbath. Or they shoot first, and someone else hears a shot so they shoot, and the guy winds up getting shot about 300 times before getting off a good shot.

    ...Or something. Trying to wrap logic around mass murderers and a world where most-everyone is constantly walking around with guns is terribly difficult. It sounds like the Congo, and I don't like the Congo. This whole situation sucks.

    On one hand this is a terrible tragedy. On another I'm somewhat let down by the fact that not a single person in a batman or batgirl costume let loose the ultimate fury and took those fuckers down.

    This is really terrible, but it happens. If this leads to anything it will be be TSA-like agents at the doors of movie theaters.

    Now for heartless joke:

    Spoiler: show
    DC is going all out with their publicity for this film... Avengers must have really put a scare in them...

    If you seriously believe that having a ban on firearms would "stop someone from having them" you're a fucking moron. There's a ban on plenty of things that people still have readily available, just look at how easily drugs are laundered into this country, you don't think firearms would be just as easy? C'mon now

    Dearest random Facebook people who keep confusing me for a mass murderer and yet still send me Facebook requests.;

    I appreciate the fact that you are trying to become better-informed about the occurrences last night in Aurora, but you have been somewhat mislead, in that I am not the man who did it. I am not a 24-year-old gun-slinging killer from Aurora, I am a 22-year-old book-slinging mass eater from Littleton. Somewhat distinct, I would assume. But I would appreciate if you would read this particular post an not assume that it would be interesting to be friends with someone on Facebook who is very probably going to be in jail and not be able to confirm your friend requests anyway, or even be friends with his girlfriend, who had the rather interesting experience of having to tell someone she had a job interview with that she is not, in fact dating a serial killer. James Holmes happens to be a pretty common name, surprisingly, so try not to jump the gun.

    Regards, A different guy named James Holmes

    Considering we are the largest manufacturer of firearms in the world...I think it wouldn't matter in the short term but long term yeah it would.


    At the very least guns would become cost prohibited.

    Tell them. "Sure, if you want even more innocent people dead. It's not an open area, there was tear gas, and people were in a panic. If anything there would be more innocent people dead."

    those feels.
    Anybody crack a Final Destination joke yet?

    Seriously though. Been down around Aurora on business before. While CS is partially right, still is a shitty thing to happen. I dread the aftermath of this.

    EDIT: Perm just confirmed on twitter that he's OK.
