It'd be easy pickings as the kids pour out through the funnel of death doorway.

People are willing to try everything except removing guns from the hands of nutters. I'm not calling everyone who has a gun a nutter. I have a few for work, but when I'm not working they are locked away.

There are no easy answers.
