What I don't understand is how a guy walks into a movie theater wearing all black, a gas mask, an assult rifle, shotgun, pistol and no one notices that? Did he change inside the bathroom or somthing?

Ahem, Really? I stopped four poachers from taking game illegally on a private game reserve with such a weapon. I'll tell you this much, I'm sure glad I had it. There's a good chance if I didn't, I wouldn't be posting this.There is no reasonable need to carry a weapon like that. They belong in the land of movie fiction and nut cases.
People have been known to return fire AFTER being wounded. You are right in nobody really knows what they would do but I assure you something would have came to mind if I had a sidearm... exactly what is speculation.Thank you Q9, for putting words into my mouth....I never said everyone would have been completely helpless
What I said is we don't know how anyone with a gun would have reacted, we don't know how the shooter would have reacted to being fired at (after all, a loud movie was no distraction), we don't know. Anything else is speculation.
It was a loud movie, then there was gas/smoke and an armed gunman...and people died.
As for reloading...no credible report says the gunman reloaded. They say he started with the shotgun, switched to the AR-15 (which according to reports had a 100 round magazine) and when that jammed switched guns again.
Saying the results would have been different if better armed, more courageous people had been there undermines the horror, loss and terror of the situation. It turns a tragedy into a game for arm chair quarterbacks. Speculating about what could have gone differently is not productive. In my opinion, speculation is also disrespectful to those who died, and to those who fought to survive and see their loved ones again.
In glorifying the shooter, and focusing on him, his guns, and how perfectly brave we all could have been, we make this a platform for whatever demented motive he had.
We haven't heard from any lady gun swingers, have we? Perhaps there aren't any. I sometimes think that civilian gun toters are similar to Porsche 911 owners. They are trying to make of for something lacking in the gentlemen's parts department.
It is called a "false sense of security" kind of like thinking only cops should have weapons... they can not always be in the place needed. Think of this... if the movie theater had an armed guard at the door and the next movie theater had an un-armed guard which do you suppose would be entered by the guy. Or better yet a sign saying CC welcome.What I don't understand is how a guy walks into a movie theater wearing all black, a gas mask, an assult rifle, shotgun, pistol and no one notices that?
