That's been tried and this is a perfect example of the result.
There were about 250 people in the theatre. 2.7% of Colorado residents are licensed to carry, so there were about 7 people licensed and trained who could have put a stop to the attack, if not for the fact that Colorado banned guns in movie theatres. As he walked up the aisle, he turned his back on seven law abiding citizens who had to leave their pistols in their cars, so a half a dozen of the deaths are a direct result of the ban.
The psycho stopped to RELOAD. As he did, seven licensed, trained citizens watched in horror, their pistols out in there cars because of the theatre ban. If you supported bans, their blood is on your hands.
Colorado banned guns in movie theatres and schools. They then had mass shootings in ... movie theatres and schools.
There has never, in the history of the world, been a mass shooting at a gun range, where everybody is able to protect themselves and those around them.
