Same discussion, every time there is a shooting or any act of violence. No ones discussions here are going to change anything.
If people want to post updates, or sources that would be great.

Why is it too soon to talk about guns?
Every time this crap happens, when a lunatic decides to go on a shooting rampage....it's always too soon to talk about guns...this is nothing but a disingenous attempt to shut down discussion about gun control
What gun laws would have stopped this tragedy?
The law that allows someone like me or others on ATS (I suspect) to be in a theater, armed and waiting to put rounds through the cranium of a person like this.
I personally volunteer my time towards this endeavor.
I will guaranteed, take a deep breath, exhale slightly and hold it, aim down the sights, acquire a center mass sight picture, and gently add pressure to the trigger, with the tip of my finger until the gun firing surprises even myself.
After the. 45 hollow point hits mushrooms and cavitates, dropping the attacker immediately, I will then walk up and empty the entire magazine point blank center mass.
Afterwards, I will honestly go about my life and feel little guilt.
There will be some guilt, there always is, humans aren't meant to kill other humans.
Even when justified, it still hurts.
But I would gladly do it, as many times as I had to in order to protect innocents from these monsters.
Maybe that makes me a monster as well....but I would never harm innocents, nor kill except in the most dire of situations.

Governor and state police to speak to the media shortly. Or maybe that's old news.

Exactly....it is past time for EVERYONE to tell the NRA to STFU and take a backseat so America can have an honest discussion about this issue.
*Gawd forbid....the world would catch fire...after all, ownining a firearm is a god given right; I mean, it's in the bible, isn't it?*
*sarcasm
Well the NRA doesn't teach people to go around shooting up schools, and theatres.
Honest discussion eh.

But we can't have an HONEST discussion about the issue.
The biggest problem population for this issue is inner city blacks and we can't talk about that or even mention that because it's racist.
The only time it is brought to the fore front is when a white commits a despicable gun crime. And like I've said these are a very, very small drop in the bucket compared to violent gun crimes committed by blacks who are a MUCH smaller percentage of the population.
You want to nip this problem in the bud, start in the inner cities and work your way out.

The only gun law that would have stopped him is a total ban.
And that law would have been worthless if he purchased the firearm illegally.
Now I'm not too bright, but I'd concentrate on mental illness instead.
Making more gun laws and pissing and moaning and trying to restrict freedoms is only treating the symptom along with denying freedoms to 99.99999% of the rest of us.
Why can't we focus on both issues? The millions of individuals suffering from mental illness and the easy access to guns?
Then I will ask you again.
WHAT GUN LAW WOULD HAVE PREVENTED THIS TRAGEDY?
The one that hasn't been written yet.
Bullsh!t answer.
Give me a law.
Say it.
describe it.
Validate it.

Would that have stopped this tragedy?
What is your point with all the rhetoric? Are you honestly looking for a panacea to mass shootings in America on a conspiracy forum? Do you at least agree that *something* should be done?
