Okay... Okay. I agree, I agree, with both of you. And there are other issues--we have shut down help for the mentally ill, and we have gone nuts (NRA--sorry, but IMO) over freedom to bear arms. How many more people have to be killed? How many????????
Statistics have shown that citizens with guns, when confronted with this type of situation, either will not shoot or will shoot the wrong person. If we can't stop the supplying of guns and lethal ammunition, there must be trained security with guns and the willingness to defend at our schools.
But still... that doesn't protect people in McDonalds or in malls or walking around universities, or... ? Gun availability and mental health care--those should be the priority. IMHO
