Why did the Pulse club crowd not incapacitate the gunman?
Quora's highlighted answers to questions change depending on multiple factors - I'm linking to 'Joe Buettner's answer, which starts like this:
"We don’t have an exact timeline of the Orlando Nightclub Shootings yet.
I can tell you that there is no way anyone from the club’s crowd could have incapacitated the shooter in the first moments of the attack; it doesn’t matter if anyone in the crowd was armed (which somebody was). A lot of the reasons this particular attack was the worst mass shooting in American history revolve around the venue; nightclubs are absurdly dangerous when anything goes wrong. I’ll qualify those opinions later..."
Actually, most of the other answers in this Quora thread are interesting, have at it.

I don't think that is what Madison mean when he and the other framers of the Bill Of Rights wrote them.
The Second Amendment: The Framers' Intentions
The words "well regulated" had a far different meaning at the time the Second Amendment was drafted. In the context of the Constitution's provisions for Congressional power over certain aspects of the militia, and in the context of the Framers' definition of "militia," government regulation was not the intended meaning. Rather, the term meant only what it says, that the necessary militia be well regulated, but not by the national government.
One can argue that the Civil War made States rights dead and so the National government "should" assume those rights.

OK, I'm game.
Socratic method, I'll start:
In 2016, what is your definition of 'militia'?

True. But The South would definitely stomp that ass the second time around.

That's true. The North has grown complacent with their indoor plumbing and marrying outside of the family.

Not a chance. Southerners move way to slow. Easy targets.

Not so. Remember the Appalachians extend well into the north.
Southerners don't need to move fast. We shoot well and most of the north is either unarmed or inadequately armed.
