Don't get me wrong, I'm not anti gun in general but I highly doubt it would have made a positive change here.

There might be 50 dead and 60 wounded, most from those firing back at the bad guy. Some would not have been able to tell who is the bad guy. Some would not have been sure if there was only one bad guy. Most shots would miss intended targets. Imagine being a cop and having to go into such a hell-hole, not knowing also which guys with guns were good or bad !

Gun control arguments against are not all about the rights but mostly I think about money. The gun sellers and the ammo sellers would lose a lot. Big lobbies all the time, paying politicians to do nothing.

Class action lawsuits worked against the tobacco companies. How about suing the gun and ammo makers? Include the politicians? Funds going to the victims.
