I've never even watched the movie kid. I'm just pointing out what other people have spotted, and I (personally) think its strange.nwo lol I saw that on ATS it's pretty funny. You can probably find some sort of reference to anything in movies if you look hard enough. The Sandy Hook in the map is probably of Sandy Hook NJ since Gotham is really NYC.
I think I posted this earlier in the thread but yeah. Let's be serious here. People are right when they say guns make things much, much easier. The day before this shooting, some crazy guy with a knife injured 22 primary school kids in China. Zero people died. We have a mental health problem in this country, and we should try to stop these things at the source, but we need to stop being so selfish and paranoid with our gun views so we can actually prevent these shootings. Imagine if your son, daughter, best friend, etc was killed in this shooting. Would you really say that this couldn't have been prevented with tighter gun laws?
I get the argument that if a criminal wants to commit a crime, he's not going to follow the laws to get a gun. But let's be serious here. This was a scrawny 20 year old white kid in the suburbs. Do you really think there's some black market walmart he can walk in to get his guns? The same can be said for almost every mass shooting i can think of in the United States over the past 20 years. These aren't guys who could've realistically found a way to purchase a gun otherwise.
That being said, I'm not in favor of banning guns. I know people with a legitimate need for protection. I also know how difficult banning would be when you have so many guns already out there. I just wish groups like the NRA would actually let us have a serious discussion about gun violence in this country rather than pointing to the 2nd amendment and telling us to stfu.
I also think this video is strange...one of the victims family members smiling and looking almost like an actor. It sounds like he says "do I read off the card?" as he's still smiling, weird thats all.
