Was Aurora Theater a 'Gun-Free' Zone?

Gun control advocates are always quick to pounce when people are shot en masse at the hand of a deranged gunman. What these whack jobs don't see are the benefits of second amendment rights. In fact, if one was to use the logic of such whack jobs (not blaming the person responsible but some amendment or law), then we could technically blame the movie theater for not allowing patrons to be armed so they could defend themselves... if that were the case, right?

Via WND:

Gun advocates say the movie theater where a Colorado gunman opened fire Friday, killing 12 and wounded 58, has a strict policy against firearms on its premises – even for patrons with concealed handgun permits.

Cinemark Holdings Inc. owns 459 theaters and 5,181 screens in the U.S. and Latin America – including the Century 16 movie theater in Aurora, Colo., scene of the mass shooting.

The company does not appear to post its firearms policy on its website. WND’s after-hours calls and emails to Cinemark had not been returned at the time of this report.

Dudley Brown, executive director of Rocky Mountain Gun Owners, told ABC News the Aurora Century 16 movie theater’s policy prohibits firearm carry.

Since 2006, some pro-gun bloggers have complained about their own experiences with Cinemark gun policies.

On the Defensive Carry blog, one Alaskan moviegoer posting under the name “SubNine” claimed Cinemark managers asked him to put his firearm in his vehicle if he wanted to see a movie. According to his post, the managers showed him a cardboard sign near the ticket counter that said, “No firearms allowed.”

If the left wants to go down the road of someone other than John Holmes being responsible for killing 12 and wounding 58, it's sad but it's not without a sufficient retort.

If you gun control freaks want to blame the Second Amendment, you might want to start building your case in defense of Cinemark because those of us who believe in the Constitution are ready to get down in the mud with you if that's what we have to do. How many fewer people would Nidal Malik Hasan have murdered if firearms were allowed on base?

The argument that Cinemark has blood on its hands is about as sound as the argument that gun rights advocates have blood on theirs.

Just remember, you went there first.

Forty years ago, Archie Bunker was laughed at for making the case against Cinemark's alleged position:
