OK, more of the story is coming out and it looks like the shooter followed all the gun laws in IL and was not known to police. He was off his meds and a bit upset in one report. So he wants to go out in a blaze of “glory” and plans for a week his shooting. Where to go where to go. . . Hey, them gun free zones are the place, then I know no one can shoot back. . . and so we have it – another school shooting.
But it is a gun free zone you say? How could he possibly shoot up the school and kill people when he can’t have a gun there – the sign says so. . . .
Folks we all best pray that the Supreme Court does the right thing and rules the Second Amendment is an INDIVIDUAL right like the other nine rights in the Bill of Rights. There is a line going around the net “when you have seconds the police are just minutes away”. That says it all.
They admit they (cops and school) could do nothing to stop this guy. They had no clues about him. You know what could have minimized the damage here, the number killed and wounded? Yep, one good guy with a gun.
As others have said, point to a time when Prohibition worked. . . . I dare you. . . Drinking? Nope, look at how well that went. Drugs? Ya right, we have no drug problem in this country cause they are illegal right? And again as others have said guns last longer than booze and drugs, they are here to stay folks and there is nothing anyone can do about it. Pandora’s box was opened long ago on that one and no closing it now.
Laws, signs, zones and pained lines on the floor mean nothing to a criminal. By definition he/she is breaking the law. You think they care about gun free zones? Well, actually they do because that is the safest place for them to do whatever it is they want.
Now if they want to shoot the place up how do you stop them without your own gun? And if they intend on dying anyway you are in even more trouble since they really have nothing to loose any more. At least if they want to live you have a chance, something to use against them. When they are expecting to die anyway you have a real problem stopping them. . . I don’t see how you can short of shooting or otherwise incapacitating them quickly and the gun is the best tool for the job.
If you pass the background check and get a carry license that should be it. There should not be any limits where you can carry and it should work in every state just like a drivers license.
Gun laws are new to this land. They started in the 1930’s to deal with the mob (that worked out well right?) then in the 1960’s the liberals pushed more on us and it hasn’t stopped since. Back in the 1920’s you could go buy a Thompson sub machine gun over the counter, no background check, no records. You know what? You also didn’t have all the shooting you do now, no mass murders, no school shootings, no office mass shootings none of it. Folks then were held responsible for their actions and they knew that other folks could and would fight back. Now you add in all these laws to make us safe and we are in worse shape, not better.
An armed society is a safe and polite society. A disarmed one is a danger to all of us.
