What's Your Take?

Today’s Your Voice comes from Anthony. (Your Voice can be heard here as well. Submit your own, we hope you do.)

What’s up with all these Waco Bat Man movie-goers with guns? Scott Smith, 37, of Ohio  was arrested Saturday night after he brought a loaded handgun, ammunition and knives into a showing of “The Dark Knight Rises.”  He went to a 10pm showing and got there an hour early and acted weird.

Fortunately, a security guard checked inside his bag and an off-duty cop found a 9-millimeter handgun, two additional rounds of ammunition, magazines and three knives. The officer found a fourth knife when he frisked Smith.

It seems these nut bags have too much time on there hands to think up ways to kill people. Maybe the government should invade another country and reinstitute the draft? Maybe Syria, why not? If you are out of work and your age is 20-50, you’re now in the Army. Shoot as many people as you like.

Watch how quick people find jobs and the recession would end.

    *face palms* Yeah, because going into a war and killing other people overseas is so much better than killing civilians on American soil… either way, you’re killing someone.

    Is this kid serious? How did this submission make it to the site?

    So from what I gathered from your grammatically incorrect article, you think we should put mentally unstable people into the army, where they might kill civilians or other people in our own army? This whole idea is ill conceived and reading this article was a waste of time.

    Obviously the guy is frustrated. Maybe there is no answer to stop these shootings?
