My heart goes out to the families who have lost theire loved ones and all the injured people and everyone who was terrorized. This is pure evil.
Holmes was able to buy 4 guns legally in a very short time, because he has no criminal background. .
Colorado is already talking about changing theire gun laws. I think they schould have been changed a long time ago in the US. There are now nearly as many guns as there are citizens.

We have gun laws in the UK, but last week someone in a town just 10miles from me managed to get hold of a pistol shot and injured two people, and then shot and killed an off duty policeman who tried to stop him. I think most Americans seem to be respossible with their guns and it is part of their rights as Americans, so I'm not sure it would make alot of difference. Guns are bad things in the wrong hands.

There will always, and I mean ALWAYS, be an exception. Rules were NOT made to be broken, but that is the mentality of too many in society today.
The 2nd Amendment (Bill of Rights) grants us the right to bear and keep arms.
I think metal detectors are going to be one of the first things incorporated widely to try to prevent this kind of tragedy. It will do double duty because someone will have to "man" the detectors, and that will put a lot of people to work.

According to WIKIPEDIA:
In no particular order, early American settlers viewed the right to arms and/or the right to bear arms and/or state militias as important for one or more of these purposes:
*deterring tyrannical government;
*repelling invasion;
*suppressing insurrection;
*facilitating a natural right of self-defense;
*participating in law enforcement;
*enabling the people to organize a militia system.
The actual words of the 2nd Amendment passed by Congress:
A well-regulated Militia, being necessary for the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.'

Yes I do,now and before this happened in Co.,but something else I think they should do is have faster justice for these crimes being committed.Here's one going on in the city that I live in right now...Nine years ago a sixteen year old girl went missing as she was leaving work at Burger King,never to be seen again,well two days ago a guy that is already doing time in one of our prisons for killing someone said that he also killed this girl that went missing and if they would bring him here he would show them where he buried the body,which they did and dug up a 30X30 field,they dug 8 feet deep,no body,turns out he made it up to get out of prison for a few day's.Well the way I see it is if you said you killed someone you should be ready to sit in that big wooden chair in the morning.
