The video pretty much tells the story. After watching this video (and the one where the 71 year old man stopped an armed robbery at an internet cafe a few days before James Holmes struck), it makes you wonder what would have happened if we had a few armed citizens in attendance at the theater that night. Would he have been able to spend twenty minutes gunning people down while the cops were en route? Would Anders Breivik been able to kill 69 people over the course of an hour?
