The impact of Denver shooting

Twelve people were killed and 58 injured when a masked gunman opened fire at the premiere of a Batman film in the US city of Denver last weekend. Investigation shows that though the suspect had no previous criminal record, he did not have a license to use guns. This has sparked another heated debate on gun control in the US, says an article in Beijing Youth Daily. Excerpts:

The shooting in Denver has raised a vital question: How to strengthen security in cinemas. Not only the US, but also other countries have neglected the importance of security inspection in cinemas. This is especially shocking because youngsters are known to imitate the action in films, which are becoming increasingly violent, in real life.
