And my point is that laws don't stop people from doing bad things. The police usually don't stop people from doing bad things. Having a law that bans guns from airport terminals only stops people who obey the law. An environment has been created where only the criminals have guns.

Once this guy was able to bring this gun into the terminal, there are two ways that this could have been avoided or minimized. Either have armed guards every fifty yards in the terminal or allow law biding gun owners with concealed carry permits to carry their guns there. The only thing that will stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.
