To Those Who Do Not Think Things Through

...who of course don't read this because *aaaack* liberal bias.  There, I said it.  (If you have not figured out by now what I think/how I feel about conservatism/the "right wing"/fascism, perhaps you should return to this blog after recess is over and catch up.)

Regarding the tragedy yesterday at the movie theater in Aurora, Colorado, a Congressperson from Texas who apparently still lives in movies even though he turns 59 this year actually said:

“Well it does make me wonder, you know with all those people in the theater, was there nobody that was carrying that could’ve stopped this guy more quickly?” Gohmert said. “I mean in Tyler, Texas, we had–my hometown–we had a shooter come in over a domestic matter, and just start shooting people. And it was a guy with a concealed carry–he got killed, but his shooting at this guy caused him to run and no doubt saved a lot of lives. He was a real hero.”

Comrade Misfit, who owns and uses guns, has the rebuttal to that statement:

Bottom line: It would be like trying to stop a fully-involved house fire with a garden hose.

(Also, it's probably not a good idea to take a gun to the movies; someone might answer a cell phone and talk loudly during the show.)
