I will. He may be a very bright, coherent senior. The younger may be an **CENSORED**. They might both be. In this instance it's is the presence of the gun that creates the death....not the dispute ...the death. It takes two stupid human beings for there to be a dispute but if there is no gun no one likely dies. You have a physical altercation at worst but others likely intervene or a senior never a feels emboldened enough to push the issue. The stupidity of two people creates the dispute but the gun is the proximate cause of the death. Because guns are lethal they turn disputes into death unnecessarily. They provide much less of a buffer for stupidity.
Stupid is as stupid does Vin. People drink and drive and then kill people in accidents. I don't want to get into an argument about equivalence just demonstrate you can't legislate against all stupidity, and even if you do, some will still ignore it because they are, well, stupid. Case in point, guns were supposedly banned from that cinema. Whats more if you were to ban everything that might cause harm with stupid actions, we would be very cold and living in caves. Edit: I do get the point however guns can make foolish heroes out of egotistical people, but the flip side of that is they are a great equalizer as well. Again, not the tool but how it is utilized.
There's your "fear" argument again Spartan. Just wanted to get that in for Vin, save him some time. The banning of public places and more importantly, hands, would go a long way.

Spartan, you proved my point for me. You cannot legislate away stupidity and people break rules ... This event was a collision of two stupid people both breaking rules (the theater has a rule against cell phone use too). The easiest thing to control in this instance is not stupidity, human nature, rule breaking ... It's what?.... the gun ... The very thing that is the proximate cause of the death. Stupidity and rule breaking caused the dispute. The gun caused the death. But for the gun ....
Now .... Let me go buy an "assault rifle" online so I can go watch Disney's Frozen with my kids. Lol.
