Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

Why so serious?

The gunman who opened fire in a Colorado movie theater shortly after midnight Thursday was armed with a rifle, a shotgun, and two pistols, officials said.

While much remains unclear about the shooting – which took place 30 minutes from Columbine High School where 13 people were shot to death in 1999 -  it is likely to reinvigorate the debate over gun laws.

In Colorado, as it stands, people are allowed to have handguns in their cars, businesses, and homes, according to the Colorado State Patrol.

Here are some highlights from the State Patrol’s primer on the state’s gun laws:

Colorado allows people to “possess a handgun in a dwelling, place of business, or automobile.” But they cannot “carry the weapon concealed while transporting it into your home, business, hotel room, etc.”

Colorado allows a person to carry a firearm in a vehicle, loaded or unloaded, if its use is for lawfully protecting that person’s property or another person’s property.

Concealed weapons permits can be obtained in the county in which a person lives.

Colorado prohibits gun registration..
