78. It's not that I anticipate being stopped and searched

but, I also try to avoid committing felonies even if I'm not likely to be caught. All it takes is one twist of your shirt to allow the gun to print through and alarm someone who will call the police and report a man with a gun.

The simple fact of the matter is that the US has tried bans over and over again and they simply don't work. Marijuana is still readily accessible in spite of being banned for decades. The government can't even keep weapons and drugs out of our prison system, how do you actually expect them to get them out of the hands of the citizenry? The cat is out of the bag, this country is filled with guns, and I really don't think there is any reasonable way to change that in the next several decades. Instead of hoping for an unrealistic fantasy, it's time to look to practical solutions that can be implemented quickly.

After 9/11, we reinforced planes and armed pilots. When you go into a courthouse, there are armed guards. Jewelry stores have guards, banks have guards, but all we give our children is a sign that says "No Guns Allowed?" It's time to start protecting our children like we mean it and not just hoping for an unrealistic end to something of which we have no real control over.

Why do you suppose these type of things happen so frequently at schools? With regards to the Aurora theatre masacre, it is my understanding that that building was also a "gun free" zone. However, it seems like mass shootings at firing ranges or gun stores are very, very rare. Do you wonder why?
