I like those odds a lot better than sitting there like a defenseless slave waiting in line to be killed anyways

No, but this tragedy happened right? It could happen anytime, anywhere... so scout's motto. This is why we need more guns on the street. There's places in the south where people just don't rob the local liquor store cuz they're packin heat and so is every bystander. And if guns kill people, then pencils make spelling mistakes.

I'm afraid of copycats, too. I don't even get why someone would do something like this to complete strangers? Why? What does it do?

We have a lot of guns. People walk around wearing holsters. Aurora is Denver, for all intents and purposes. It's not some quaint, rural glen; people are everywhere--and they're armed. Somehow, all these guns did nothing to dissuade this dude from his killing spree. It's because an armed opponent doesn't deter a spree killer. It's not like they intend to escape and blend back into society after shooting up their job, school, bar, etc. A killing spree is pretty much a finale. At least if you do it in public and don't suck at it, I guess. | |||

This is why your average citizen should be able to carry a gun.
If some psychopath wants to kill a mass group of people, they will get what they need to do the job anyways. 1 well aimed shot to that guy could have stopped the whole thing. Very Tragic. | ||

As mentioned above, look at drugs. If you want any drug, you can find them with in a few hours max. Make it required that every mentally capable person carries a gun and see how many of these things pop up where 50+ people are shot. I think you'll find the golden rule practiced much more often. Also in the south, establishments that are known to keep firearms on hand are rarely robbed where as establishments that are known to not carry are usually robbed frequently. Risk vs Reward.

If guns were harder to obtain there would be mass global enslavement of the entire human race on an electronic control grid plantation already. But for reals, banning things doesn't work; alcohol, drugs, immigration, hookers, guns, etc
I ask this, if you were in that movie theatre, would you rather have a gun yourself, or just sit there waiting for your turn to die? Simple choice for me.

You make a good argument but I think banning hand guns and assault rifles would result in less violent crimes and murders each year.
