58-year-old "lone white male" with a handgun
Posted: Jul 24, 2015
So not terrorism, just another guy with a hand gun. Suppose he was a responsible gun owner, just yesterday, perhaps?
Aggravated assaults with firearms: In Louisiana in 2011, there were 99.5 aggravated assaults with firearms per 100,000 residents -- 96% more than the national average and 116% more than in states that require background checks for private handgun sales.

In a BBC interview excerpt that aired on Thursday before the shooting, U.S. President Barack Obama said his biggest frustration was the failure to pass "common-sense gun safety laws" in the United States.;
This was in a "gun-free" zone. I fear we will see more of this - as the problem is spiritual,

that the person was crazy and people were shocked. That is no longer the case. The first thing in the media now is more gun control.
This kind of thing did not happen years ago and there were less - gun control laws. There are now over 25,000 laws

This reminds me of telling my kids not to do something and they say that whatever it has never gone wrong before--but, you just KNOW it will and it has such a HIGH likelihood of going wrong you PROHIBIT it anyway.
Gun Control: So important to Obama that he ran guns - illegally to Mexican drug cartels

hoping that the increased carnage would trigger a public response that enabled him to disarm us.
Fast and Furious.
And yet, it is not the Mexican drug cartel - shooting up our theaters and schools
[ In Reply To ..]
Fast and Furious just doesn't have anything to do with guns in the U.S. to begin with...and it doesn't really belong to "Obama" either.
In 2010, then-Mexican President Felipe Calderon spoke before Congress and called for accountability on the part of the U.S. for its role in his country's drug war, inspiring both a standing ovation and anger, primarily from Republicans, Reuters reported at the time. Calderon, a vocal proponent of U.S. gun reform, said there was a direct correlation between the EXPIRATION OF THE U.S. ASSAULT WEAPONS BAN IN 2004 AND THE SPIKE IN VIOLENCE in Mexico. According to Calderon, Mexico had seized some 75,000 assault weapons and other guns since 2007, with more than 80 percent of them having come from the United States

far more people than a lone gunman in a movie theater (not to diminish the tragedy). This was in response to the OP trying to blame gun control on the movie shootings.
Of course Obama will just try to blame F&F on someone else, but his justice department and Eric Holder are directly responsible.
Listen to the cadences and rhythm patterns O uses in his - speeches, as well as repeating

phrases. He can lie and blame others and sounds convincing.
Read the book by Victor Klemperer, The Language of the Third Reich. It's about manipulating society through language. Very, very good read.

at a gun dealer without going through a background check and waiting period.
It's the CRIMINALS who STEAL guns or buy them from the underground a/k/a black market, usually drug users and dealers who want to make a quick buck.
If you think more gun control, to the point of taking guns out of the hands of law-abiding citizens is going to stop the killings, you need to examine the backgrounds of murderers on trial.
Why didn't you wait until more facts came out? Too quick to judge are you? - Truthhurts

Turns out the man was a mental case and his wife had a PFA against him. She had also had all his guns taken away a couple months ago.
Evidently, he was planning to shoot up other places since they found all kinds of disguises in the motel where he was living.
Louisiana and gun control - sm

IMO, no time is too soon to judge guns in the hands of everyday people, scorned husbands, wives, toddlers, siblings, loonies, to become loonies. Too many guns.
