There is no equal level of protection other than having multiple armed LEO / security in each theater. A few individuals leagally carrying on that night may or may not of made a difference, we will never know for sure. It would have been something to see if this guy had made his entrance and immeadiatly got lighted up with laser sites.LabRat wrote:I've read the above responses and finds it confusing as I imagine any citizen would.
As far as the "gun control" issue is defined, isn't the theatre a co-hort in this mess?
Doesn't the theatre post "no weapons/no guns" type signage that has to be followed regardless of the local or state restrictions?
While governments intrusion into gun rights is generally on the heavy-handed side, the theatre has almost absolute power when it comes to regulating guns on their premises.
Yeah, I know about property rights, but with those rights comes responsibility....responsibility to provide an substitute, but equal level of protection?
That gunman knew there would be no possible way for anyone to fight back.....If he'd thought differently, we may not have this thread to comment on.

If one single life would have been saved by return fire, just one, or maybe one shooting surviver not have to go through the mending process. Thats what the cities, business owners, and anti's should be asking themselves today.
