It was exercised then, or at least attempted. That's what started the shooting war in the first place.

So what your saying is, gun control NEVER had a chance.

People advocating for gun control only need to look at the marvelous successes that the war on drugs and the prohibition on alcohol have been.

As much as the idea of having ordinary people allowed to have guns frightens me, I must admit that gun control does not work.

Slovenia has gun control. You might get permision, but after a long and grueling buerocratic war with the state. While that is good, less guns around, there is something I have to point out.

I own a store bought machette and a homemade machette.
A post WW2 bayonet.
An imitation special forces combat knife (able to kill just as the real deal).
A Victorinox swiss army knife (small but still deadly)
A kitchen knife set that has a long meat knife, a big chopping knife and an axe.
A small baseball bat
A pickaxe handle that is intendet to be used as a club
Jana (a friend) owns two replica katanas. When sharpened able to cause serius injury (gotta love that woman)

The above items are legaly bought and legaly owned. When I ought the machette I only had to show ID so the clerk knew I was over 18.
The above items are also an arsenal of a small medieval outpost.

If I wanted to buy a gun all I have to do is go to work tommorow. A lot of my coworkers are from the former republics and since the memory of the last Balkan war is still fresh they're heavier armed than the UN mission in the 90' there. A pistol will cost me €300. An AK-74 a bit more. And the customs are a joke.

Gun control doesnt work because the black market is more eficient than the free market and because I can kill someone with household items. Nice idea but useless, just like the UN.

he was a cop and an extra-ordinary person

I'll just ad one more thing. The store in my village was robbed at gunpoint while I was in Rovinj. 150m from my home. Too close for comfort. While I'll never leave the house armed, I'll sure as hell keep a gun inside. There's an SUV parked outside the house. Gives of an idea of a wealthy fammily inside.

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.

Two words that came to mind from watching his behaviour in court: "tripping balls".

That guy looks seriously insane
