I've just learned that sometimes it doesn't hurt to show a little comapassion for others. It'll make you see there's still hope for this country.

Good point crabs but here is the flip side. I don't know these two women. I think it's horrible that they lost their life. Gun free zones = easy chances for bad people to do harm.

So bc you don't know them you can't have condolences to offer. I don't know them and had problems sleeping over this. A major problem with society is the attitude of not caring about others. I'm not talking about caring if frank caught a limit a trout.

I'm not for gun control but I agree with Governor Jindel, this is not the time to be talking about 'gun control'. There are people out there that are hurting because of this shooting and we ought to be grieving with these folks.

The teacher from New Iberia, ought to be given an award for bravery. After being shot in the leg, her training (fire drill) kicked in and she pulled the fire alarm, saving many lives in the other part of the theater.

My daughters go to the movies....yalls do to. This story is NOT about packing heat. It should be about 2 lives that were cut short by a lunatic. I feel sad about our country. I feel sad that public shootings are not surprising anymore. What has happened to us as humans that these shootings are not an oddity? Also guys... I love me some S.C. I've made lifelong friends because of this site, but I'm very surprised that the conversation about the incident here on S.C. mirrors what I've seen on other social media. A focus on gun rights/control. Look...2 beautiful young women are dead. a wife, a mother, a daughter, a cousin, an aunt, a neighbor, a musician, a college student, a friend. That's the story ya'll. not Jindal or NRA, or cc laws.

Yeah the grand doesn't allow good people to carry guns. Not a shocker. Fish in a barrel.

I doubt he chose that place because they had a gun free policy, and I doubt anyone there had a Cc permit and left their gun at home.

Theaters are easy targets whether gun policy allows or disallows them, it's dark and everyone is facing the same direction, people are packed in tightly, and they have limited egress...

People got you figured out - 5'3", talking big constantly, open carrying .45, probably walking around with your shoulders pulled back like you're constantly waiting for a duel.

Give it a rest for a bit

This tragedy is not about duckman's pistol that he carries around, it's not about duckmans opinions on the effectiveness of gun laws, it's not about duckman's respect for pox, it's not about duckman. Just let it be not about duckman. That's all I'm saying. There are guys i know....s.c. Members that knew these women personally. Just let this tragedy sink in some. (It hasn't been 24 hours) before its about something other than the victims, and the grief that their mourners are feeling.

I'm sorry my viewpoint upset so many. It was not made to be derogatory in any way. The situation is horrible yes. Are the families of the victims hurting now? Yes. I was in no way trying to make light of the situation. At least I didn't think so. That being said it would be dishonest of me to pretend to have emotions for people I do not know.John
