I understand that. The question I replied to was implying that using cameras would bypass a search warrant.
It would not bypass warrant/PC for a search.

Well im not sure that the families of the victims would like the video out, if one was made.
A video would just help some sick copycat wannabe in my opinion.
This was a crime that no one should ever be exposed to.
To many crazy, loose nut jobs walking amongst the normal folk.
Kudos to the police, facing death, getting it stopped like they did.
No one would expect something as horrific as this happening.
Yup the media is cranking up the machine and laying the groundwork for possibly blaming it on the tea party some how.
Was catching a bit of the coverage on GMA earlier and they had their anchor crew doing a round table and they were talking about not seeing any indication that it was as terrorist act but then the brilliant Brian Ross chimes in and says something to the effect of "at this point it does not appear to be any signs of a terrorist attack but on the other hand it could be some sort of Super Patriot" WTF!?
explosives have been confirmed in his apartment now
The gunman was reportedly wearing body armor. When the media reports this, I think of the LA shooting/bank robbery where the two gunmen had crafted armor that covered them from head to toe. They were mostly impervious t handgun fire and police scurried to find rifles at local gun shops to stop the gunmen.This tragic event serves as a reminder to why I carry at ALL times.
Being gun free can be very dangerous.
I'll agree that there is no way to know if an armed citizen (or 10) would have stopped or slowed this guy. However, we DO know what happened when there ISN'T anyone to make a stand. More than a dozen dead, more than 50 more wounded, and maybe 100+ rounds fired over the course of several minutes (and several mag changes). While the police response was REALLY good (5 minutes or so), that is a LONG time to sit and pray you are spared.
This guy simply wanted to kill a lot of people. He expected no resistance, and got exactly that. Did his deed, walked out to the parking lot, and was taken into custody. Proof positive that our current laws, law enforcement, and social norms make us all easy targets.
