Was shocked by the news of the Aurora, Colorado shootings, 70 people shot in a theater, around 14 dead.. Was likewise shocked back in 1999 by the Columbine massacre in Littleton, Colorado. Was thinking, '"well this gives the anti-gun people more 'ammo' for outlawing guns for everyone " And how about the Sihk Temple massacre and Virginia Tech?
Why couldn't someone fire back on the shooter at the theater in Aurora and stop him in his tracks? Then I was told of the smoke bomb, the confusion and hysteria and the fact that the shooter had on full body armor. So I was still confused about how anyone would have stopped him....

Today it hit me like a ton of bricks. I now understand why no one could stop these shooters in their tracks. Schools, churches and theaters are 'gun free zones' which means law-abiding citizens are not allowed to have guns there - so these people were left totally defenseless.

Guess you could say mass murderers are looking for places like that (GUN-FREE ZONES) where no one can shoot back. Have learned from this that if criminals knew we were all disarmed there would be many, many more break-ins, rapes and murders as well as an enlarged government that could force its will on the people so I question the push to force the small arms treaty on Americans. I question the true intent of gun grabbers. I question the true intent of pushing the small arms treaty on Americans.

Surely, it is not an attempt to protect us (U.S.)
