When will people figure out that if you make something illegal then ONLY criminals get to have, thus giving them an upper hand.
No one in the theater was carrying a gun because the theater has a no guns policy, one person ignored that and got to kill a bunch of defenseless people.
Be realistic.

She wasn't supposed to be armed as that was a gun free zone. Worked out pretty well though. At least give citizens a fighting chance.

Worked out great except for the four people he killed and five he injured.

Nowhere in the article did it say the church was a gun-free zone. In fact, the pastor says at the end that security volunteers were legally able to carry firearms.

In fact, though the security guard injured him, the assailant killed himself:
