I'm not sure if we can really expect a bunch of club goers to a) carry a gun b) handle a gun. A gun in this club to combat the terrorist in my opinion may have ended in more harm than help. Even if there was a sober, able bodied, person in the crowd that could handle a gun comfortably, from my understanding a cramped club with a large group of people is not somewhere to try and be a hero. A whole other rant about gun access and gun control could be done here, but I won't. There's no point in arguing how this happened, but that we stop it in the future. My heart goes out to all the family and friends of those were injured and lost, things like this are a subtle reminder that there is still a big dichotomy between the LGBTQ community and the rest of the world.
EDIT: And frankly, it's almost insulting to make assertions and assumptions that if someone had a gun to protect themselves they could still be alive. They could still be alive if we prevented people like this in the first place.
EDIT2: Wow I didn't see the /s. Sorry ;_________;
