You're welcome to disagree all you want with what I said earlier, but I still maintain that a dark, crowded, loud, tear gas filled, already chaotic theater is not the type of environment that would be bettered by the addition of extra weaponry.
ETA: I know people have commented that, on an everyday basis, there's no reason for civilians to carry guns, but "no reason" doesn't equate to "ban guns."

Fair enough, we all have our own opinions on the situation. See below about the banning guns.

I wasn't referring to anyone here specifically even though it was implicated by sigmagirl2000.

Disarmament of the general populace= banning guns.
