so much for the argument that easier access of guns for the law abiding citizen will help stop with such masacres.

seems it only ever helps the person who wants to do the killing
If bystanders had guns, they might have helped. I'm not sure the legal ramifications if they did, but they might have saved some lives.

For example, Kennesaw, GA requires every head of household to own a firearm. Since that law being instituted in 1982, their population has risen from 5200 to 30000 and their crime rate has decreased.

An isolated incident of batman fever has nothing to do with gun laws. The attacker would have had the same results (or worse) with a molotov cocktail in a packed movie theater.
