REGARDING:
“why the United States is the country leading in the world in violent crimes? ”

Mainly becasue we have more diversity. Nothing wrong with diversity, but it tends to cause friction between the different groups and that friction can lead to violence. Too many people look at people who look and act differently and think they must not be real people, therefore they don’t have to treat them decently.

Also, remember the people who came to this country couldn’t get along with their neighbors or government back home. (Many had bad neighbors or bad governments, but they refused to bow down to them.). People who won’t accept being mistreated often respond with violence. Even good people like me and thee.

“Look what happened to Sodom and Gamorrah.”

If the Lord could have found ten righteous people in Sodom, the city would still be there today. I know more than that in Bluff Springs alone.

First, my condolences and sympathies to those affected in Aurora, CO and elsewhere. I’ve been to Aurora several times and it is a nice place. Sorry this happened to you nice folks.

My question is why the United States is the country leading in the world in violent crimes? We have more people in prison than similar countries with gun ownership and dynamics. More people commit violent crimes in the US than anywhere else. The youth of other similar countries to the US watch the same TV and listen to the same music/video games, have legal access to firearms etc., but they do not go out and kill others. It’s just US Citizens. Why?

Exactly David, As I said in my previous comment, I have no worries about this tragedy causing mass gun control. I agree that assault rifles should be made illegal and are made for the military. I owns several shotguns and rifles and have no fears of losing any of them. I believe that Bamaboy’s comment that “he heard a preacher say that America has told God to go to hell”, is a description of the morals of a large portion of our society. Look what happened to Sodom and Gamorrah.

REGARDING:
“Regarding David, no one knows whether or not this man was insane. As an American and a Christian I communicate with the several times a day.”

Exactly. Individuals can pray but the nation doesn’t have an ambassador to speak for it — unless you believe the Pope speaks for God and I DO think we have an ambassador to the Vatican. I’m not sure why, but I think we do.

AND
“The majority on here are blaming the gun laws, but that will probably never happen in this country, due to the power of NRA in our government’s back pocket. At least we can make the military assault weapons against the law again. They are built for war, not civilians.”

We have one major gun law. It is that the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. Until we take away that civil right, all lesser gun laws are unconstitutional.

The Second Amendment is not about hunting but about self protection from criminals, nut-jobs, invaders or even an out-of-control nation.

The fact that people would ban shotguns such as was used shows people aren’t thinking clearly in such a tragedy. It’s also the reason the National Rifle Association has so many supporters. They join in response to demands to take away their rights.

Murdering people is already illegal.
Criminals don’t care what the law says.

David for better people
and comfort to the grieving

Regarding David, no one knows whether or not this man was insane. As an American and a Christian I communicate with the several times a day.
Regarding Bob, I am a gun owner and d not have any worries that this is going to cause mass gun control.
My opinion is that the largest contributor to tragedies like this one in our country is a lack of consequences. The facts remain that the suspect will be given an attorney or very possibly some lawyer who wants to make a name for himself will take on this case and manipulate justice to the extent that the suspect gets totally off, or is evaluated by a mental health Dr. and institutionalized in a hospital where he will be kept drugged and sleep most of his sentence, If that does not happen he will be sensationalized and placed in a prison for awhile, where he will be held in protective management because even the scum will want to kill him. While in prison the guards will be required to treat the animal with respect or risk losing their jobs or getting sued for a civil rights violation. At the worst the animal will be given the death penalty and sit on death row for many many years and probably die of natural causes. All of these things are a possibility.

This is a sad story and my heart goes out to the families that where effected by this tradgic advent. My prayers are with your families and of the families of the people who had to watch as this man did what he did to innocent people.if that is his picture posted in this story he surely does not have any remorse for what he has done and there should not be any remorse on his pun.ishment either. For him to stand there and shoot people is not right and for him to shoot a baby point blank that is damn sure wrong .he should be lined up and him shot. To death like he did to his victims. And he should not have the satifaction of living his life in prison on death row where tax payers has to feed and house him til him dies. He needs to be put to death asap.my prayers go out to all families and friends involved with this tragic day .

A very sad & horrible day yet again in America. There are many questions @ the why & the how of such a senseless event. The majority on here are blaming the gun laws, but that will probably never happen in this country, due to the power of NRA in our government’s back pocket. At least we can make the military assault weapons against the law again. They are built for war, not civilians. Stop making the bullets for them & eventually they will not be as prevalent. The incidents @ Columbine, Virginia Tech & now the movie theater were all committed by young, educated, & seemingly well off males. The answer may lie in the lack of mental health services, the increase of violent, bloodfest movies & video games. They seem to make the youth de-sensitized to violence/murder. The age limit on these games are not usually adhered to…or they are purchased by the parents. Or as a last thought, maybe the youth of this country have become so isolated from friends/family by the use of the internet that they just lack any compassion for their fellow human beings. We will never really know. It’s interesting that his mother responded with the statement..”You’ve got the right person”..before the police could finish questioning her. It leads me to think she knew that her son had some psychological issues. And his friend made the statement that James always rooted for the villain in these type of movies. And now he is the REAL villain.

I am a resident here in Colorado and live just miles from where this took place. I have a very old friend whom was among the 71 that were shot. he had surgery early yesterday morning. I was supposed to go to this as well but wasn’t feeling great and gave up my ticket. I am a un supporter and carry my own. This inciden had NOTHING o do with guns….”guns don’t kill people, people kill people. Even If the 100 people there had gun, this man was fully protected from head to do with complete bullet-proof ballistics. And , to correct some mistakes, this man was a normal student at the U of Colorado, Denver campus. He was in a PhD program and recently had sub- standard grades and was in the process of dropping up.
The people of this area are in a complete daze and stage of shock. Just sort of wondering around, confused and still hard to believe this is real. I have a family member who is employed at University Hospital, where the majority of critical people are. One of the 2 that died in hosptal, died on her watch. And 2 other deceased were active armed forces service members. it’s very hard to absorb…Coloradans are “rugged” and together we’ll make it through this though. Please continue to pray fr ALL involved.
