• Movie shooting, on the eve of gun control treaties?

    From Kurt Weiske@1:218/700 to All on Wednesday, July 25, 2012 11:05:08

    First, and foremost, my thoughts and prayers go to the families and survivors of the incident in Aurora, Colorado.

    Does anyone think this incident is sketchy?

    The shooter wore a gas mask, and the suspect is somehow found, and is glassy-eyed and appears drugged, barely speaking? [1]

    There was an almost identical drill performed at a local hospital that day?[2]

    The UN gun control treaty has almost been stalled, and is up for a vote soon.

    I want to find out more about how he was apprehended -- with 3 guns and after having shot close to 100 people you'd think he wouldn't go down without a fight.

    The drills that coincide with tragedies in the past years have been a
    bit of a surprise to me. This one, 9/11, the train station bombing in
    London. Are there so many drills going on at any given time that there
    will be a coincidence, or is it more than that? I really don't know.

    I hate to think of murder of innocent people taking place to get laws
    passed, but I am convinced of criminal activity taking place to do so.

    I'm fairly certain that the "Fast and Furious" (guns to Mexico)
    situation was specifically designed to further anti-gun legislation. Not necessarily to get anyone killed, but to get laws passed.

    I realize that many people in the U.S. are afraid of guns, and playing
    on that fear is a useful tactic, but people such as myself who live in
    and grew up in an area where guns are common may be much harder to
    convince to be afraid. It's quite common to be around people with a gun strapped to their hip in a convenience store, and I personally feel
    safer knowing that people around me may be armed.

    There is a big play against guns in this administration, but I'm not
    sure if they have resorted to directly murdering people to get their way
    or not. (I hope not).
