Was high capacity magazines used in this situation and other situations like what happened with the Congresswoman in Arizona? If yes, then that is why they should be banned.
That argument doesn't make sense. Since we already know you support the right to own guns, how do you respond to this argument:
"Was a pistol used in this situation and other situations like it? If yes, then pistols should be banned."
Or: "Was a shirt worn by the killer in this situation and other situations like it? If yes, then shirts should be banned."
AR does NOT mean assault rifle....ignorance continues!
So by YOUR logic, if something is used in a crime, that object needs to be outlawed? So he wore clothes, had guns, drove a car, had a knife, was on prescription drugs...specifically related to mental issues.
HMMM.....which item stands out as most LIKELY leading to this tragedy?
Maybe if he had to walk to the theater with all that gear he would have been stopped and questioned before arriving? Maybe he would have been too tired after walking and carrying all of that stuff.
1. People gathering......maybe we could limit the casualties by not gathering!
2. Gun free zones........all of these things happen in gun free zones!
3. Mentally disturbed individuals.
4. Soda pop...how many victims also had soda pop in that theater...maybe he only shot people with a soda.
Now, WHICH one could have made it more difficult? NOT having gun-free zones...it's proven that criminals ignore the zone and it leaves everyone else helpless!
^^^ no one but you anti gunners has mentioned rocket launchers...why do you need extremely tinted strawman arguments...can't you just make a case without being ridiculous?

Not changing my point of view on this...you can go in the deep end of the pool with your comparisons all you want. But from the beginning I have said the same thing and I am not changing my opinion about this.
Heck if everyone was armed they could of had a good ol'fashion shoot out too, I guess that would be the other end of the pool if you want to play that stupid game.

That's funny cause just a couple points earlier you made an absurd claim that random things should be banned because they were around the shooter...so yeah, I will use the rocket launcher argument if you are going to use absurd posts.

So yeah, lets ban people gathering, that sounds like a much more reasonable approach to this issue...smh.
Now explain how banning them would have prevented this...
You're using that tired old "shootouts" argument again....tell me, since the increase of CCW's and gun ownership, where are all of these shootouts?
Over 200,000,000 guns in the US. If guns equal shootouts, shouldn't there be millions of shootouts everyday?
Oh, you don't like the deep end? Then why do you continually go there? Hmm...something, something about not liking the heat....
Oh, I am sorry, the shootout comment is based off of your absurd arguments and your ability to stick your head in the sand and act like there is no problem. I guess it is easy to ignore and pretend like there is nothing wrong that to actually deal with serious issues...and that is fine, many people like to pretend there is nothing wrong.
