Too bad the guy texting didn't have a gun. He could have defended himself...
Everyone needs a gun cuz of a few crazies. Well what if that is flipped and people shouldn't be able to carry guns around because of a few crazies?

Texting doesn't particularly bother me and I go to a lot of movies. What I truly hate is when assholes talk to each other through the entire film and theatre management seems completely unwilling to throw them out.

That one, yes. Texting is midlly annoying because of the little light, but it really doesn't bother me much. Talking, though, is crazy annoying. But, being british, I'm too polite to say anything about it

That and the annoyingly loud laugh at parts that are only mildly funny. I read they ruled out the "stand your ground law" doesn't mean he can't still try to use it as a defense.

Sometimes its not bad. I remember seeing Transformers 2 at the theater in Strongsville. In the first scene with Megan Fox, where she's straddled over the motorcycle and the camera is just panning over her ass and legs, some guy just got up and started doing a slow clap.
Funniest part of the movie...

When I was watching Harry Potter in theaters there was a point where Harry asked Dumbledore "Well, what should I do?" My friend stood up and yelled "Masturbate furiously!"
Normally I hate this kind of behavior (although I did it as a kid, so I get it), but that was hilarious.

I believe you can find double standards within many things if you look hard enough. This one is just obvious.
Where do you stand on this?

I don't think you are going to take guns away from people. I think we should limit what exactly is available for the average person. I also don't see anything wrong with tracking guns and making it harder to purchase one. Finally, I think a lot of the places you can conceal carry a gun are ridiculous. Colleges. Movie theaters. Etc. More guns is definitely not any kind of answer in my eyes.

I don't think anyone is saying we need more guns. What I've heard and what I believe in is not taking away the right to bear arms. I would not allow the government to track guns although I believe stricter purchasing regulations may not be a bad idea. There are restrictions in place on what is available to the everyday person, but I don't know enough about them to comment.

So I should be a bullet trap if I am on campus or at the movies when Billy Noonehuggedmeenough shows up with mommy's guns? I would rather laws do something to punish mommy for allowing her loony tune son access to the firearms. Not place me in the position of having to take a knife to a gun fight.

I dont think a bunch of people in a dark theater with guns will exactly solve the problems. It seems like the potential of having a concealed handgun to protect yourself against a would be mass shooter is incredibly low. While the potential of someone with a concealed carry doing something stupid like this is higher. If we start acting like we are fighting a war everywhere we go, like we need to be armed in a college lecture hall, I dont think that is a positive step for society. I also think, according to some polls, about 80% of students are against having guns on campus. So hopefully that decision stays in our hands.

I am a shooting instructor. I think I would prefer having the firearm available instead of depending upon the mercy of the shooter and my hide-and-seek skills to save me from getting a lead injection.
I would like to find a non-partisan (aka not a poll from gunsarescary.org or gunsmakemydickstiff.net) study on crime committed by concealed carry permit holders. One whack job old guy is not indicative of a whole group.
Those 80% of students can be the ones running around and looking for a cop or the 20% who don't give a shit what the other 80% have to say about their safety.

Well luckily (hopefully) that stays as a majority vote. I have never seen any need for concealed carry on my campus. Sure, there are robberies and what not now and then, but turning the campus into the Wild West won't solve crime. Bad things happen, and they will continue to happen. I'd prefer to try to prevent those bad things then arm everyone in an attempt to defend us against bad things.
I agree, one whack job does not represent a group. Also, a handful of shootings do not represent the dangers you face everyday, and do not justify being armed in theaters, on campus, etc.
I would not feel safer with a bunch of vigilantes running around, that may or may not be as qualified and trained as you.
Also, gunsmakemydickstiff.net register that shit, lol .

Problem is, you don't know who is carrying and who isn't.

I think this falls under mentality. I have been robbed, I have had break ins, I did see someone get shot (D.C. after a friend handed over his wallet), so because of this I would prefer not to be the guy standing around trying to negotiate with a junkie or, worse, a nutjob. I know that the likelihood of my house bursting into flames is minimal. However, I prefer having a fire extinguisher there.
Another thing is that I see with a lot of "oh my god guns will be everywhere oh no" types (you may not fit into this group and that is fine) is that they presume that other people are going to run around just firing off rounds willy nilly. In most cases that is the anti-gun folks projecting their neurotic fears/expectations on to others. They may be the ones who can't be trusted with guns because they are going to lose it over their new Strokes album and firing off rounds at their roommate. That doesn't mean that everyone else is built that way. Guns are scary to people who don't spend any time around guns.
Where steps could be taken would be to punish the people giving access to firearms to people who are mentally unstable. They wander out and murder someone with your poorly stored firearm, you become an accessory to murder. Let that happen once or twice and people will get the hint that they need to safely store their firearms.
