But we can't let every Tom, Dick and Harry into schools with guns, because that's an open invitation to somebody that does want to commit a mass shooting in a school.
Why not? We did back when I was in school.
The mass shooter is going to be looking for a place that has no guns posted. It is safer for him. Meanwhile he will ignore the sign or the law.
A parent or grandparent with a concealed weapon should be allow to pick up a child from school without being arrested.
You can petition your school, councilman, or state for that. The cop is not in charge of making the laws. But you would get little if any public support on that idea.
This isn't the old days. Columbine started a long string of copy cat crimes. Waiting until after a school shooting takes place to do something is too late. That's why no guns are allowed in schools. We need to be as proactive as we can to prevent them.
No, making guns illegal in schools is what CAUSED school shootings.
The law could not possibly reduce school shootings because the shooter will either start by shooting those attempting to enforce the law, or by easily evading them.
But it WILL increase school shootings because the shooter intends to commit suicide, and deliberately is looking for the most controversial crime possible, in order to gain the most headlines, for their 15 minutes of fame.
The more you SAY something is illegal, without actually being able to stop it, the more it will actually happen.
It is NOT proactive to make guns in school illegal, it is inciting more school shootings.
If nothing else, it ensures there will be no armed resistance to the shooter, and in the past there always war armed staff.
