A Louisiana lawmaker has told media that she feels Louisiana can now do more in regards to their “lax” gun control laws: and that will include metal detectors at movie theaters.
According to BuzzFeed [1]:
One day after the deadly shooting at The Grand 16 theater in Lafayette, Louisiana, state Rep. Barbara Norton told BuzzFeed News that she is working to draft a bill that would put metal detectors in movie theaters around the state to detect anyone “that might be coming in to do harm.”
“We can no longer sit back and think that everything is going to take care of itself,” said Norton, a Democrat representing the district for nearby Shreveport and a member of the state’s administrative committee on criminal justice.
“That’s a good measure,” said Rep. Henry Burns, who said that security in gun free zones like the movie theater need to be scrutinized.
On Thursday, John Russell Houser, 59, stood up during a screening of “Trainwreck” and opened fire on the crowd – killing two people and injuring nine more, authorities said.
Houser then tried to blend in with the fleeing theatergoers, but turned back when he saw police officials rushing inside and fatally shot himself.
