This guy was very smart, and a planner. Even without the AR-15, shotgun and pistols, he could have gone up into a tower like Charles Whitman at the U. of Texas. Just do it on the day of some festival or rally, with thousands of targets below him. Or, build bombs. Or, drive a big truck through a crowd at high speed. Etc etc etc.
You’re correct. Had he driven an SUV into the crowd outside the theater would there be calls to ban SUV’s and confiscate all the ones on the road now? Had he managed to bar all the doors and use 5 gallon gas cans to set the place on fire would there be calls to ban 5 gallon gas cans? Or ban doors that could be blocked from the outside? Typical lib blame the tool used and not the tool using it.
