Also, the gunman didn't want to die, making him much less likely to open fire if he knew there was a good chance that someone (or several people) in the crowd were armed.
ya know, bullet proof vest, dark theater or smoke doesn't give any confidence at all. Gun safety is how to operate, and I assure you, you try to operate a gun in that circumstance, you'll just cause more problems.

OK then, let me put it another way; a gun supporter would tell a person that wants gun control and will not listen to any reasonable arguments for freedom to carry this: the deaths that supposedly could have been avoided with stricter gun laws are a risk worth taking and even worth dying for. Anyone can move somewhere else if they don't like or agree with that, nobody is stopping them. To subvert and change it for everyone in the entire country is an incredibly selfish thing to do when there are PLENTY of other countries out there that have strict gun laws.
Gun control so ak47's are not eligible as a gun. You're right, normal people wouldn't have it, it should be regulated as illegal. I don't agree weapons all together should be completely stripped, but I agree there should be quite a limit to them.
I'm sorry but America should not be the only country in the world that is, frankly, uncivilized. I find it even more offensive how you speak of these freedom's as if they mean to the world to you, but what have you done to protect them? I have 3 generations of military in my family and they agree that gun's should be much more controlled, they aren't a defense mechanism, they are a machine created for the sole purpose of taking life. Freedom isn't about personal freedom's, it's about the freedom to live in a safe enviroment while being as independent as possible. Unfortunately, law breakers, retard's, and pretty much anyone with little to no consideration towards his fellow american forces hand's that we hoped not to see.
America is very young, it was an experiment, yet we reverted essentially to everything the brit's ended up putting us through. Does that not say, as a human being with such a vast amount of independence cannot function without some forms of rules/regulations? I mean does it not bother you that the majority of the population who supports the current right are criminals and redneck/hillbillies?
You can't have something if majority cannot use it responsibility, for my safety and for yours. If you want to live in risk, move down to mexico, nothing is stopping you.
