Why has no one posted on it? Really? In the last three days we have had people killed in Florida in a house, people killed in Oklahoma but teenagers, people killed in California by illegal aliens. Five people here, four people there, five over here, and you're worried about two. According to the people who keep track of mass killings, two doesn't even qualify except that a gun was used in a "gun free" zone again. I think that is why the liberal media is soft pedaling this story. They've been burned so many times but ASS just blunders on it without thought (his normal mode of operation) before he sees that he is, once again, making the argument of the right.

There, off to the side, away from the sight of anyone who was not looking for it, was the sign banning handguns. Wasn't a sign that legally banned handguns in the state of Texas, but that's a different story. A second bet I'd be willing to make is that MAYBE 1 out of every thousand customers of the movie theater sees the sign. If movie theaters were really serious about enforcing a gun free zone, they would put the signs where they could easily be read by anyone entering the theater, like it is done at my office building.
So once again IMHO it's BS that the shooter chose the site he did because it was in reality a gun free zone. The guy is mentally ill, ends up shooting himself, but he was sane enough to choose a gun free zone for his killing. I'm sure your opinion is different but since Houser is dead we'll never know for certain.
