Another Mass Killing

We've been following the awful news about the early morning rampage inside an Aurora, Colorado theater that has resulted in 12 shot dead and as many as 50 59 wounded, several critically. News reports indicate that a lone gunman, dressed in black with a helmet and bullet-proof vest opened fire on the midnight premiere audience of the new Batman movie, "The Dark Knight Rises". (As a side note, the movie has been the subject of far right conspiracy theories, since the movie's villain's name is "Bane"). No motive has been determined by police, who are being augmented by State and Federal law enforcement personnel, who have the 24 year old white male gunman in custody.

Aurora is a suburb of Denver, and only 30 minutes from Littleton, the scene of the Columbine shooting in April, 1999. Perhaps the NRA can simply change the dates and locations and reissue the same "guns don't kill people, people kill people" press release from those days.
