Although Dean is being far too idealistic in his assessment, I have to shockingly agree with him to a certain extent.

The police responded to this event in 90 seconds. Maybe a gun carrying citizen doesn't stop everything with a head shot, but he/she certainly could have engaged the shooter for long enough to make a significant impact on the number of people ultimately dead and injured. With police responding so quickly, all it takes is a distraction which lasts seconds, not minutes.
