Batman Theatre Was A "Gun Free Zone" And it worked SO WELL at keeping people from bringing in guns! Don't worry, I'm sure the shooter will be promptly ticketed for violating the ordinance.

The blame is rightly placed on the shooter, but blood is also on the hands of Cinemark Theaters and the city council of Aurora, Colorado. Aurora has a municipal ordinance which makes it illegal to carry into a premises that is posted "no guns." In other words, the city gave private signage the force of law. Cinemark theaters has had a no guns policy for some time, and has asked law-abiding citizens to leave for exercising their natural and Constitutional right to armed self-defense. Shame on them.
