Meh. I've seen it go both ways.
And not everyone wants or needs or should be forced to "be properly exposed" either.
And all I'm saying is no progress will ever be made on this issue and people will just keep dying this way unless we do something radically different.

Brilliant idea in a dark theater with people running and screaming.
Nobody was screaming according to posts on this thread and theaters are usually only dark prior to when the movies starts. Anyway point taken; you are correct. Protecting yourself or attempting to stop the perpetration of a crime is a bad thing to do. Maybe you would call 911?
Every movie go to...the theater is pretty light before the movie and dark as soon as the ads start and then, throughout. Not sure where you watch movies.

It's like putting the KKK in charge of civil rights laws.

I don't believe you.
Good idea, let's leave people in the dark to be fearful of inanimate objects.
Violent crime is on the decline. I'd say there is plenty of progress being made and there's no need to do anything "radically different" with guns.
Should we do something radically different with the way criminals are processed? Absolutely. Go after the people committing crimes, not the tool they choose to employ.

While I come from this from a very strong pro-gun sentiment, and my biases and perceptions of the anti-gun side are based in that, I do agree, the pro-gun side isn't without its loud-mouthed know-nothings as well.

So yes, many here (myself included) are bracing ourselves for the inevitable onslaught of anti gun rhetoric.

Yes, it's exactly like that. Because of the extensive history between pro and anti gunners of lynchings and hate crimes. Truly an apt comparison.
