Boing Boing

A shooter who entered a movie theater in Nashville during a “Mad Max” showing is reported to have died at the scene.
A man armed with a gun and a hatchet is reported to have fired shots at the Carmike 8 Cinemas in Antioch, Tennessee today. The Metro Nashville Police Department confirmed the suspected gunman had been killed.
Local authorities said in a short press conference that the man had a gun, a hatchet, and two backpacks, both of which are being investigated.
The movie playing at the time was “Mad Max: Fury Road,” according to Don Aaron of the Metro Nashville Police Department.

  1. Yes Mike, we obviously need more "common sense" gun laws to control who can get their hands on air soft pistols.

    "Vincente David Montano, 29, was armed with a hatchet and an airsoft pistol in addition to the pepper spray, which he released during a showing of "Mad Max: Fury Road." He was also carrying two backpacks, one of which hung from his chest, and he wore a surgical mask, possibly to protect himself from the pepper spray."

    1. And "common sense hatchet control" is way overdue.

    2. Air-soft guns should be controlled like real guns. Your cavalier attitude about this must reflect your concern that every time someone does stupid shit like this with guns - even air-soft guns, it reflects badly on you and your precious rights. Keep sneering.

    3. Regulate toys, reaching for new lows Mike? Really? How cute.

      Some peoples kids. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

      This toy thing is nothing new, stupid people have been playing this stupid game for many decades or as long toy guns have been around. Decades.

      This whole incident just wreaks of suicide by cop. Couldn't buy a real gun for whatever reason or couldn't bear to do it himself so just have a cop off him instead. Not the first time this has ever happened either. Just look up suicide by cop, thousands of examples.

    2. No, I mean kill happy gun loons like you who claim there is nothing we can do about this gun shot death problem, claim America doesn't have a gun shot death problem, and go to ridiculous lengths to make sure we can't stop unnecessary gun shot deaths. Just cri9minal, kill crazy gun loons.

    3. I never said their was nothing we could do Anon, you just seem to be stuck on the single track mindset to eliminate gun possession. Perhaps if you suggested changes that were based on the concept that the Second Amendment was an actual individual right, just as valid as the First Amendment, or the Fourth.

    4. Since you and your gun loon crowd bastardize the 2nd A and lie about what its authors meant, it's stupid to talk to liars (like you) about such a serious subject. Now back to your defending a soldier who broke the rules.

    5. "Since you and your gun loon crowd bastardize the 2nd A and lie about what its authors meant, "

      Heller vs. DC Anon.

      "The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home."
