Gun Control in History
How many mass murders have been at Gun-Free Zones compared to, say, gun shows where there are thousands?
We’re loudly and repeatedly offered “solutions” to schoolhouse shootings, yet all tapdance around the one answer that would actually work, while costing the taxpayer nothing...
And just by coincidence, the people pushing their pet “solutions” the loudest are also the best protected...Their pet solutions always seem to center around the disarming of the rest of us while they, the elite, will continue to have their security and armed bodyguards...
America is already enjoying the benefits of widespread shall issue concealed carry for citizens in reduced crime rates (look up the stats...Yes, REDUCED!), but schools remain one place a trained, motivated and armed citizen may not carry his or her weapon...
We insist on keeping schools “Gun Free” aka free fire zones for deranged killers set loose upon us by misguided and failed human rights, psychiatric and mental health professionals...
The one thing we can do to fight back and reduce these killings (because we can never prevent or end this kind of mindless violence as long as the would be perp has the advantage of knowing where and when he plans to strike) is to allow any parent, teacher, administrator, coach or custodian who wishes and has passed the training and background to carry concealed in the school...
Has anyone noticed that the frequency and death tolls from school shootings has increased sharply since the 1995 Gun Free Schools Act?
Coincidence? I think not...Hold your elected representatives responsible and demand the one action that will work...
Also, demand they honor their oath of office, and support and defend the 2nd Amendment as they would the 1st, 4th, 5th, etc...
Obummer, Shoomer, Baloneyberg, Frankenfeinstein, Pelosick, et alii, all want Benghazi schools.

I have to wonder if USA Today gave you access for an opposing view due to another Gannett affiliate, The Journal News, recently disclosing the names and addresses of lawful handgun owners in Westchester and Rockland counties in NY, i.e. the owners were licensed and the handguns were registered for simple possession, not concealed carry.
