As a professor, I taught my students about active shooter drills and how to protect themselves and their students from attacks. I grew up at a time when schools and churches were considered safe havens, immune from violence. That is sadly no longer the case. There are no safe havens, and no place is off limits.

Still, it seems strange that Trump, who has escaped numerous "assassination attempts" would determine that those who are mentally ill should have the right to bear arms.
