Why does he want a gun in a theater? Umm, PERHAPS it was BECAUSE of Aurora- You can bet your ass I won't go un-armed to a movie. I sure as hell won't sit in a crowded dark theater without the means to protect me and mine. I'm not saying that is the ONLY reason, but you can bet NBC never mentioned it. He WASN'T, after all, wearing the tac vest. It was in his car. The media AND the police never even consider it.
