Where There's a Will, There's a Way..and A Weapon

All these cries for firearm bans, but lets not all forget that on 9/11 Islamic madmen high jacked planes and used them as missiles. They flew them in to the World Trade Center and killed thousands of innocent lives. Where was the outrage for a ban on aircraft?
Today in Texas, 14 people were killed in a traffic accident, where is the call for a ban on motor vehicles?

My point is this...as horrible as the theatre shooting in Colorado was, it was the intent of the individual to commit this crime. It did not  matter what he had at his disposal, he was out to take lives. This was a theatre that sat some 300 people, he could have easily thrown a bomb in, or wired himself with explosives, thus causing even more causalities. But he did not do that, he chose an AR-15 a shot gun, and some hand guns.  Yes those evil black rifles that the liberals of this country are so ready to place a ban on.

Partial blame also needs to rest with the movie and video game industries. Warner Brothers deliberately does not say the weekend box office numbers, not out of respect, but because they do not wish to be associated in any way with the shooting. I am sure that at no time over the weekend did any of their public relations people answer phone calls. 

WB has taken the crime fighting Batman, to a whole new level with the Dark Knight Series, they have transformed him in to a dark individual with a deep and tragic past, long gone are the days of Adam West as Bruce Wayne knocking and socking the bad guys. The movies are so violent, that we have not allowed our 2 boys who absolutely adore all things Superhero to watch any of the Dark Knight movies. Instead of laying blame with firearms, I believe that there are more parameters involved and they should all be addressed not just the gun issue.
And if the topic of gun banning is going to be discussed and try to be forced on the American people then so should the topic of banning every thing else in this world that causes bodily harm and or death.

We did do our homework and found some interesting stats from 2010...
and here is a link if you would like to read more : http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvsr/nvsr60/nvsr60_04.pdf

Assault (homicide) by discharge of Firearms : 11,015
Heart Disease : 378, 270
Motor Vehicle accidents : 35, 080
Alcohol Induced Deaths: 25, 440

Our Federal government conducted the  Fast and Furious operation in which many innocent Mexican lives were taken along with two federal agents so where is the ban on government and the outrage? 

Theatre Shooting

Today I am saddend along with the rest of the nation about the theatre shooting. Our thoughts and prayers goes to those families who lost a loved one. All they did was go to see a movie, something that at one time or another all of us have done at least once in our life.

This will be turned in to more ammo for the anti-gun folks, and used to demoralize us law abiding gun carrying citizens. The MSM is all ready trying to jump to conclusions and make assumptions.The gunman was this, the gunman was that..he was in the Tea Party, he had one of those "evil black rifles" etc...  But I will have to remind those people that he could have used anything as a weapon. They found his apartment booby trapped, would it have been better had he thrown a bomb inside and locked the door?

This guys was infatuated with the Batman series, he studied the films, and studied the new trailer for the lastest film..he knew what he was doing and he knew how to incapcitate the crowd. Witnesses are saying he spoke not a word...just started shooting....I could not have imagined the chaos that unfolded inside the theatre...but again, our thoughts and prayers goes out to those families......
