Newton is/was NOT a random mass shooting!!!! Nothing random about planning to kill someone, Although the outcomes were different BOTH started the same way, (someone with mental problems and unable to "normally" handle their life and/or disappointment and/or anger CHOSE to use a gun to fix the perceived problem)

There's a huge distinction between the details of this story and the notion of arming Joe Q. Public as a safeguard, namely that the return fire was from an off-duty law enforcement officer AND employed in a security position. This person undergoes police training, whereas the average gun owner doesn't. I'm not opposed to private cun ownership but this is not an example that supports the claims in most of your comments.

Nothing "Romantic" about that break-up. Poorly worded heading to the story. I agree with Johnny Cash. Arm yourself (legally) and put these losers down if they come near you.

If you are that distraught after a breakup, take an overdose.

The signs are "Its unlawful to carry..." which you see most often has a picture of a handgun. That's useless because if you are carrying unlicensed its unlawful anyway. Then you have PC 30.06 sign which allows the criminals to pack among defenseless people not going to details with recent shootings.

@Jack, the theatre should have a sign posted with this information.

I read the Mayan is a gun free zone. Is this correct anyone know? Far as I know movie theatres are not on the list of places you can have a gun on you if you have a CHL. I have my CHL and I wonder if I would have gotten in trouble had I taken it out and taken him down.

Just goes to show these nut cases can be stopped if you are armed. Kill them before they kill you and other innocent people. The answer isnt gun control the answer is arm yourself. If you are un armed you become a victim.

We should be hearing about this story on the news instead of more "misery porn" from the dry stream media. This officer is a hero and deserves the notoriety.
