Someone could make a pipe bomb or other form of bomb with items from a hardware store and would not even attract any attention at or need to go through any screening as you do to buy a firearm.
With a homemade bomb one could possibly kill a large number of people with a fire arm a lone person might manage to kill a few dozen.If Holmes had made several pipe bombs and tossed them into that theater he very likely would have killed many more people in that confined space.
I am not so sure that the armed citizenry carrying a conceal carry would have been as viable in this case Holmes had on body armor which would have required several rounds possibly of pistol caliber ammo to stop him.Those guys in the North Hollywood bank robbery in 1997 did the same thing with body armor and the cops hand guns did nothing but annoy them.
In fact I do not think the idea of conceal carry stops any person from going on a killing spree or committing any crime in Colorado they have conceal carry it did not stop Holmes from his plan of action.There is always the chance that an of duty cop might be in a public place and armed as in many states they are required to carry their side arm at all times usually they conceal them.
