Had it not been for his guns, he would have used a bomb. That would have killed hundreds.

BTW - There is a S&W M&P 15. Their version of a AR 15. Never saw on up close though.

I never heard a report of the occupancy number of the apartment building where the perp lived. But, it is a 3-story building. Per police reports, had the explosives in his apartment gone off, they would probably have demolished the entire building. Considering the time of night, such as explosion could have resulted in a higher death toll than the shooting at the theater.

Absolutely. He could just have easily loaded a 120 pound bomb onto a hand truck and wheeled it back into the theater through the emergency door as to do what he actually did.
