Theater Near You

In some countries, emergency declarations forbid more than four people from gathering. Such a declaration would likely prevent a Connecticut-type massacre because a large group of people would never be able to legally assemble. Under the same premise,no movie theater slaughter would be possible because cinema and stage show attendance would be out. Motorized vehicles kill more than thirty-five thousand Americans every year, so I guess under the premise of ensuring ultimate safety, driving must be banned as well. These liberty-limiting propositions are just as absurd as proposing gun control legislation that will inevitably create a situation where law-abiding citizens are disarmed while criminals retain their deadly arsenals. Too often in history, people have learned too late that once a freedom is stripped away, it is gone forever.
