maybe I should start going to movies so I can stop these idiots
daaaamnn
His family sez he wuz nutz violent
I suppose LA cut mental health budget like most of USA
Cops cure these nutters by killing them
All the theatres policy: no guns allowed
As with all these mass murderers, he was mentally ill. Yet, the democrats will scream for more gun control and will refuse to address the primary issue. Since he used a vehicle to drive to the theater, lets outlaw cars. And lets outlaw theaters since they seem to attract these nuts. Better yet, let's outlaw democrats and liberals since they have demonstrated their mental illness and lack of concern for the safety of Americans. Can you say illegal aliens and sanctuary cities? Come on liberal nuts balls, I know you can.
this guy was not even allowed to by a pistol but he got a gun
more gun laws would not have solved the issue!
In 2008, Houser’s wife, Kellie Maddox Houser, and other family members requested a protective order from him.
According to court do ents, obtained by the Associated Press, he “exhibited extreme erratic behavior and has made ominous as well as disturbing statements.”
The filing said Houser had “a history of mental health issues, i.e., manic depression and/or bi-polar disorder.”
Houser had been arrested several times from 10 to 15 years ago on various charges, including arson, selling alcohol to a minor and speeding, according to the AP.
Jim Mustian, a journalist for the New Orleans Advocate, citing a local sheriff, said that Houser was denied a pistol permit in 2006 in Russell County, Ala.
It's the Messican's fault, tbh
there's a federal policy that says no shooting people
Translation: "No guns allowed for law-abiding citizens only"
Bobby Jindal, Does Louisiana ‘Love Us Some Guns’ Now?
The Louisiana Governor and GOP presidential candidate bears much responsibility for the fact that his state has some of the laxest gun laws in the US—and leads the country in gun deaths.
“We love us some guns,” Bobby Jindal once said of his fellow Louisianans. Two of them were killed, and nine others wounded, on Thursday night when a man walked into a movie theater in Lafayette, sat for a while, and then fired more than a dozen rounds from a .40 caliber handgun.
“We never imagined it would happen in Louisiana,” Jindal said afterward, though the state has the second-highest rate of gun deaths in the country, more than twice the national average. Louisiana also has some of the laxest firearm regulations, for which Jindal bears much responsibility. During his eight years as governor he’s signed at least a dozen gun-related bills, most intended to weaken gun-safety regulation or expand access to firearms. One allowed people to take their guns to church; another, into restaurants that serve alcohol. He broadened Louisiana’s Stand Your Ground law, and made it a crime to publish the names of people with concealed carry permits. At the same time Jindal has pushed forcuts to mental health services.
Jindal "never imagined it would happen in Louisiana,” though LA has the 2nd-highest rate of gun deaths in the US
Jindal treats guns not as weapons but political props. On the presidential campaign trail he’s posed repeatedly for photos cradling a firearm in his arms. “My kind of campaign stop,” he tweeted earlier this month from an armory in Iowa. After the Charleston massacre, he called President Obama’s mild comments about gun violence “completely shameful.” The correct response then, according to Jindal, was “hugging these families,” and “praying for these families.”
On Thursday night Jindal hurried from Baton Rouge to the parking lot of the theater in Lafayette and again called for prayer. “Now is not the time,” he said when a reporter asked about gun control. It is the time, he said later, to send the victims “your thoughts, your prayers, your love.”
Meanwhile, Jindal’s campaign staff were reportedly contacting people commenting on Twitter about Louisiana’s gun violence problem and telling them to “put politics aside.”
“When it comes to the Second Amendment, no governor in the last four years has done more to protect our freedoms than Bobby Jindal,” an NRA official said of Jindal during his reelection campaign in 2011. Few have done as much on behalf of the NRA, certainly—and as little to protect their cons uents.

Since you're the arbiter of terror labels spurraider21 I need some help here. Is the shooter a terrorist? Or are you still waiting to see if he was a muslim or not?
So confused...
Louisiana shooter bought his handgun legally despite history of mental illness, criminal past
Speaking at a press conference, authorities confirmed Houser purchased the handgun legally in his hometown, Phenix City, Alabama.

Build more straw men. That could ease your confusion
http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/w...-self-defense/Now a new study from researchers at Mount St. Mary's University sheds some light on why people don't use guns in self-defense very often. As it turns out, knowing when and how to apply lethal force in a potentially life-or-death situation is really difficult.
The study was commissioned by the National Gun Victims Action Council, an advocacy group devoted to enacting "sensible gun laws" that "find common ground between legal gun owners and non-gun owners that minimizes gun violence in our culture." The study found that proper training and education are key to successfully using a firearm in self-defense: "carrying a gun in public does not provide self-defense unless the carrier is properly trained and maintains their skill level," the authors wrote in a statement.
They recruited 77 volunteers with varying levels of firearm experience and training, and had each of them participate in simulations of three different scenarios using the firearms training simulator at the Prince George's County Police Department in Maryland. The first scenario involved a carjacking, the second an armed robbery in a convenience store, and the third a case of suspected larceny.
They found that, perhaps unsurprisingly, people without firearms training performed poorly in the scenarios. They didn't take cover. They didn't attempt to issue commands to their assailants. Their trigger fingers were either too itchy -- they shot innocent bystanders or unarmed people, or not itchy enough -- they didn't shoot armed assailants until they were already being shot at.
people who train with guns are more prepared than those that don't

that's why are vids of gun instructors and other gun fellators, so well trained, shooting themselves
Do CCL require a gun safety course of some kind?
I would suppose so.
Just curious, do such safety courses include training for deadly force situations and is any of the training ongoing, or does it happen just once?
hard to imagine a one-time course makes everyone a pro in a deadly shootout.
You have to drill that type of thing if you want any sort of discipline and consistency. It's the type of thing you cannot afford mistakes.
