This kind of event couldn't have happened in the wild west because most of the people in the crowd would have been armed. What so many of the anti's like to refer to as the "wild west" was actually a lot more peaceful than things are today. Disease was exponentially deadlier then than gun violence. (Probably still is today, actually.) "More security" is a misnomer. Some people will think they're more secure if they see metal detectors or rent-a-cops. They're not.
I ask again, how can you stop a determined lunatic other than waiting for him to run out of ammo or praying the cops show up before that happens?
