So there should be no gun free zones? We should pack heat to school to foil a crazy gunman?
Have you been in a school? it would be a freakin shoot out every day. And the weekends! Forget about it. The image of drunkin kids partying around and carrying guns!
I don't think gun free zones are the problem. The problem is that they are difficult to enforce. You can allways get them. In Chicago, they just go to the burbs, but I would never want gun contol measures rolled back. Better enforced, yes, no immunity or bebefits for dealers and manufacturers (thanks NRA and Congress) and better backgound checks - and Illinois does them back five years for inpatient hospitalizations. Also in the works after the VA shootings was a bill to make all mental health workers report to the state, but it was lost in the shuffle after the press died down.
I don't think this is really about guns though. Its about mental illness. How we treat it, steriotype it, under fund it, lack support for it, etc, etc.
We don't worry about SANE people carrying them so much, just insane people. How can we better monitor gun sales to insane people?
BTW the gun shop that sold to the NIU killer was the same as sold to the VA Tech killer. Coincidence? Or is it really just that easy?
I think its too easy. Its harder to get a drivers license that the purchase a gun. As a gun nation, we should do a lot better.
