ok, another school shooting shows us that we need to make changes in how we do things around here.
We have limited choices. We can outlaw guns and have zero tolerance laws towards gun ownership which would require building a lot more prison and shoot outs as we take the guns away from what used to be law abiding citizens. This would require first getting 3/4 of Congress to get rid of the second amendment. Whether you think this is the only viable choice or not you have to admit it isn't realistic because you are not going to convince 3/4 of Congress to vote this way.
We could turn all our schools into fortraces. But then they would just go somewhere else, like a football stadium, a court house, or a bus stop.
It looks like we have to arm the populace. Make it legal for everyone to go armed everywhere. Individuals would be free to chose not to arm themselves. This would insure nobody's freedoms will be violated, but could create other problems. This works in Israel. And I believe is the only realistic albit unpalatable choice.
