...and if somehow they are able to stop all shooters before they are successful in killing anyone, future mass shooters will go to malls. If we arm mall security guards, future ones will go to individual stores. If we have armed security guards in every store, they will go to parks. And on, and on, and on.
Having armed guards everywhere is not the answer.

reclassify, reflame and ban them from the street

The sentence didn't make it into the final draft of the Virginia Constitution. But even Jefferson had the sense to put some limits on arms.

(3,411 posts)There are security guards everywhere in L.A. They aren't armed with guns, but still it makes everywhere feel like its a bad area. Banks everywhere there have bulletproof glass. It really doesn't make you feel so good if you've been living in smaller safer city metro areas.
