Rapper/actor Ice-T has taken a strong stance on last Friday's horrific "Batman" shooting in Aurora, Colo. Regarding the back-in-the-news debate on gun rights, he told Channel 4 London: "It’s legal in the United States. The right to bear arms is because that’s the last form of defense against tyranny. Not to hunt. It’s to protect yourself from the police."
"And do you see any link between that and this sort of instance?" the host asked the 54-year-old. "No. Not really," he replied. "If somebody wants to kill people, they don’t need a gun to do it."
"Makes it easier though, doesn’t it?" the host said. "Not really. You can strap explosives on your body. They do that all the time," Ice responded. He added, "the United States is based on guns. Like KRS said, you’ll never have justice on stolen land."
Ice later followed up on his comments on Twitter -- and he didn't back down one bit. "My comment on guns got a lot of press.. They call me ‘Gangster’ don’t forget ‘US Army Vet,'" he wrote. He added, "I love how people are soooo SHOCKED to hear something thought provoking said by a rapper.. Hip Hop has changed to POP .. Nobody says sh–." OK, he has a point there ... do you agree with Ice's stance on guns?

WASHINGTON, June 27 - The Supreme Court ruled on Monday that the police did not have a constitutional duty to protect a person from harm
The police are supposed to protect the people, but they don't. They haven't for years.
The thing is, no one expects a gun to be drawn in a movie theater, so who would bring their gun there, even if it was legal to carry a weapon into the cinema? And who would have had time to draw and fire back when they're trying to make sense of what's going on, protect the people around them, and get away? And who would risk shooting in such a dark, crowded, and panicked room?
