Liberals are responsible for this tragedy

21. I think the presence of guns IS a deterrent. They specifically choose places where they know

the victims will not have guns. They're not brave. They're cowards.

Even the soldier who shot his comrades knew they weren't allowed to have loaded guns in that area.

The mall shooter knew shoppers wouldn't be armed. Most people aren't.

They don't go to, say, gun shows, to kill lots of people, since they know they'd be shot dead before they had a chance to kill very many.

There's a reason that marshal's hired to sit incognito on airplanes are armed. When faced with an armed, evil person, it is most effective to have an armed person to deal with him. You're limited otherwise, as we've seen.

But in a school...it seems particularly dangerous to have loaded weapons around. They'd have to be locked up, which makes them almost useless. And the likelihood of a child getting injured by the gun w/o a shooter around is more likely than a mass murderer coming in, IMO.

But if someone wants to kill a lot of people in a free society, there's not much that can be done about it. Some gun restrictions would be helpful (and many states have some)), though, to keep the incidents down, or the # of victims down.
