If there was a chance that even a small percentage of the people in that theater had guns, then this guy would have never tried this in the first place. Nobody would need to take him out in a "darkened, smoke-filled cinema" because he wouldn't be there.
It's like a school bully that picks on people who won't (or can't) fight back. As soon as there's a danger of the bully's victim fighting back, he moves onto other "easier" targets.
