Today and yesterday many people came from around the nation to remember the ones who died and all those injured for life a year ago in Aurora Colorado. They came from Littleton CO and Newton CT and so many towns and cities all around our beloved nation where thousands have lost friends and relatives and neighbors to senseless gun violence. They came to say "We stand with you; we are working hard every day to control guns and the violence around them. We want to be able to say with you "Never Again."

They were met by the Rocky Mountain Gun Owners and other gun people who had the unbelievable and utter gall to say to the mourners "Your loved ones would not have died if someone in the theater had been carrying a concealed gun like the one the shooter used." To most DU'ers and most Americans this is complete insanity.
