If he couldn't easily get an assault rifle anywhere, yeah, it would have made the idea of walking into a theatre and shooting people an even dumber idea. If he walked in there with a sawn off shotgun that could only hold three shells, or a bolt action rifle with a 5-round magazine, he'd have maybe killed a couple people, wounded a couple others, but then he'd be standing there in in the dark, wearing a gasmask and gloves, trying to reload individual rounds by hand as adrenaline is making his hands shake and people are yelling and screaming and running around in a panic. Plenty of time to either be disarmed or for people to run away.

Acting like there was nothing that could be done legislatively to make stuff of that magnitude virtually impossible to pull off is ridiculous.
