Wow. Do you work for CNN or Fox News? Because you just managed to take everything out of context and then spin it on its head. Bravo.

In Colorado, unless a person was an expert marksman with perfect vision in less than perfect conditions, nerves of steel and lightning fast reflexes (which other than self-proclaimed super-soldiers like you, are a fairly rare breed), then drawing a weapon and standing up in that theater would have gotten him killed lickety-split. So much for self defense. |
You seem willing to give James Holmes, a guy who had nearly nothing in the way of gun training (he was denied a place at a gun club), superhuman skill and the ability to shoot down any hypothetical armed citizen who attempts to reply though. Holmes was depending on smoke, darkness, and a panicked mob to allow him to rack up his bodycount, not any sort of superman shooting skill, or nerves of steel or lighting fast reflexes, or darkvision.... There is an excellent chance that any return fire would of put Holmes down quickly or sent him fleeing, especially if it was an armed citizen with some real skill. Holmes wasn't trained for a firefight either. |
