The Colorado movie theater shootings have brought the usual liberal media cries for gun control. Hey, the theater already had a “no firearms” sign, though some might say that was only an invitation. When only the government has guns, all will be safe? As if.
How about banning movie theaters? Makes as much sense, maybe more. Awful places, movie theaters, sticky floors, and unwashed, overly-perfumed bodies all crammed together, side-by-side. Usually some fat person in the seat in front of you, making it hard to see. Bound to send any left-thinking neuroscience PhD candidate in search of his fifteen minutes of fame.
After all, we now have the Internet, with streaming video. Must we continue these bizarre public meetings with popcorn and Big Gulps (already righteously banned in New York City)? For that matter, why not ban neuroscience? All those big words and exam cram sessions obviously caused a breakdown here.
















Not to mention chemicals in all that beer they drink on the campus.
Yeah, we should legislate that away, too. No more beer. All it does is waste your money and make you burp.
Not too many years ago, a person this sick (not that he’s insane — that’s a different matter) would more likely be in a secure institution to protect the public, but now we have advocates of the rights of the mentally unstable. Rather than an argument about guns, which can protect people when used correctly, rather we should focus on an increased concern for the rights of potential mass murderers means an increased likelihood of, well, mass murders. It’s 2+2, people.
More “free” mental health services wouldn’t hurt, either. But that’s, uh, an argument for something like Obamacare. Oops.
