gun right advocates

If gun individuals have the RIGHT to keep and bear arms as it says in the Constitution then this can and should be the results. You'll notice that the killing spree stopped once Jeanne Assam dropped the gunman in his tracks.

Given the apathy of many and knowing that very few people have read or even understand the Constitution the results will more than likely end up in this manner. You'll notice that police nor any well intended citizen stopped this from continuing, the gunman himself ended it mercifully.

Many will attribute this to having too many guns in society, however very few people that are actually gun toting 2nd Amendment types will go into a mall and shot the place up. I would much rather have NO security then to have my government disarm innocent people.

"when seconds are critical the police are always minutes away"

I would like to point out that our police agencies aren't designed to stop this type of action, only to mop up after the event happened. A well armed citizenry is the ONLY means to bring these types of events to a stop, well that and government agencies getting out of the way.
