> 5 people to tackle is fine…1 person with a shot is better. Bravery is lacking agreed in alot of cases where someone who was carrying could have stopped a threat but didn’t but for every story you find of a person not shooting, or not being able to…i could find ones of people concealing and using their guns succesfully. (florida internet cafe, brazilian atm robbery,ect) I would argue the person in the crowd argument does work when the person is willing to use it…teh whole i happened to fast for anyone to react is silly, its not tha it happened too fast its that they hesitated.

It did happen to fast, I believe all within 90 seconds. For the first 30 seconds you’ll be covering behind your seat just trying to figure out whats going, crying from tear gas and blind from smoke and and maybe getting ready to pull the gun out, just to be blasted after you hit his body armor when the screen is lighting up the seats quite well.

Your examples of internet cafe and brazzilian robbery would be a useful counter argument if it happened in the dark, with a crowd of over 100 panicking people and attacker was strapped to the teeth and bullet proof, while the hero gunman managed to sneak a hero headshot while being pepper sprayed or the equivalent.

Even if Holywood put Rambo into that scene and pulled the shot off, you’d look at the screen and go “yeah right, fucking Holywood”.
