Somebody earlier said that the theater had a "no guns" policy. The fact still remains that had they been carrying guns, would it have changed anything, the guy rolled in a canister of tear gas first anyway. TEAR GAS, where the hell did a member of the public get a canister of tear gas?

Yes, of course acts of terrorism via bombs, planes, gas etc are going to happen, but at least what seems to be a disturbingly common method in your country will be curtailed. To be honest, I don't know how you all live with it, esp when it comes to your people killing people in schools. I find it really disturbing. In know some weirdo is always going to get a gun (or make one) but I still ask, how many of those people in the theatre were shooting back...

None? Oh, I thought the gun ownership laws protected them?
