Actually many of my fellow Americans seem to think the situation would have been better had other civilians in the theater brought their guns, despite the fact that there was complete chaos in the theater and the thug wore body armor and threw tear gas. No doubt that had other people started shooting a lot more people would have been killed in the crossfire.

There is absolutely no way guns will ever be outlawed in America. There are too many gunowners, most of whom probably responsibly carry their firearms, who would never vote for someone trying to make a gun ban. What will hopefully eventually be done is better screening of people who wish to purchase guns and bigger penalties for those who illegally sell guns, but I doubt that will happen either. 

unfortunately most criminals dont buy their guns through legal means anyway, so better screening wouldnt even work.

i just wish there would have been a conceal/open carryier there to stop the shooter. 

they had an interview with a lady that was in the theater, she was on the ground at the shooters feet, as he was shooting everyone else, just imagine if she was a gun owner, this whole thing couldve been stopped.

 

as for the bolded, thats never happened, and you are tought in gun classes to alsways be aware of your surroundings and who is in your line of sight, so unless its a retard gun owner, he wouldnt shoot unless it was a clear shot.
