It's fact that towns with mandatory gun ownership laws have the lowest crime rates. Just as with drugs, you will never get rid of guns. So is the solution to outlaw guns as we've done with drugs (look at the failure that is the war on drugs)? The solution is obvious, advocate for gun ownership.
Towns with mandatory gun laws are usually small towns. Where you would be comfortable leaving your door unlocked because everyone knows everyone. You can't compare a small town to medium/large towns and cities.

Multiple people shooting in this theater would have ABSOLUTELY made this a lot worse than it was. You can deny that all you want...it won't change the truth.

BTW: I support the 2nd amendment and everyones right to own guns. In this particular case though it would have made matters worse IMO.
