In short, I could be sitting in the theatre as the good guy. The psycho is not going to come up and politely announce that he will begin a massacre. So they kill many even if the good guy is lucky enough to fight back.
It is deflection. It is a way for the NRA to rationalize their worship of assault weapons and ease their conscience.

Or answer me this, the bad guy with a gun is ready to shoot and kill. Where are the good guys guns? Can they even get at it, decide to stand up and shoot (where have I heard that!), aim and kill the perp? So called CC permits for law abiding citizens is such a joke! It's just for bragging rights.

Do we even know if anyone else in the theater had a weapon? Seems to me that someone shooting back at the perp would complicate his life greatly.
