Yeah, we should make gun laws even more strict so that only criminals and psychopaths who really want them are able to get them, oh yeah and the government, too. And while you're disarming society so that we civilians are completely defenseless against criminals and a corrupt government, you'll also be happy putting several honest businesses into bankruptcy and transferring their profits to criminal black market dealers.
Secondly, you act like, bc this guy was wearing a kevlar vest, suddenly he's invincible. I guarantee that if this asshole took one to the chest he is going down. It might not kill him, but he's going down. All it would take is one person to hit him. I'm also working under the assumption that if you're carrying a gun, you know how to shoot it. Aiming is not that difficult.
Also, that wasn't tear gas the shooter let loose. I don't know what it was, but it was most likely a failed attempt at making homemade tear gas.
Finally, if you don't think a theater full of armed individuals would have deterred this guy, you're wrong. Unlike most mass shooters, this guy didn't kill himself and he didn't get into a shoot out with the cops. He didn't want to die. If everyone were armed, instead of slaughtering a bunch of helpless sheep he's going against a group of people that can and probably will kill him. The police didn't deter this guy bc the police can't prevent shit from happening. They can only react, and there is often substantial lag time between the initial action and the police's reaction.
