what if? About gun free zones

@ 09:40 AM (6 months, 16 days ago)
In light of the recent shooting, I wonder what would have happened in that class room, if the campus had armed security, patrolling the area on a regular basis?  The news reported that this guy shot how many? and he had time to re-load, and shoot some more...This is sick, whyb are these people doing this....what goes through the mind of a person to do that?  "Hmmm I'll flip a coin and heads I shoot tales I go to work and have a good day."  But....I think the problem is that "gun control" don't work....It didn't work in Australia and a few other places that tried..(and there are plenty of sides to that for and against)...If someone is planning to rob or assault or just plain try to kill another fellow human...for whatever reason...they might be less prone to do so if they know the intended victim is also packing....A armed society is a more polite society....There are always exceptions, for example gand bangers, and drug dealers ect.......most if not all of them are "packin" or otherwise weoponzed....knife ,bat, club, ect. and due to the inherant lawlessness of the life styles in question, the "politeness" aspect of the armed society really dont apply...but "I garr un tee" if everybody LAW ABIDING citizen had a weopon on their person when conducting normal, day to day activities, crimes like random shootings and muggings, might change dramaticly....Probably at first it would be bloody and frequent, but then as the bad elements luck ran out against a prepared victim, natural selection would take control, and the numbers of scum would drop.  I could be wrong, but when I read about home invaders catching a 12ga buckshot load in the chest...I think..."ahhhh one less criminal to clog the system...justice served"....Example  down in houston when the old guy capped those illegal alien peices of trash with the long rap sheets....good riddance.....Now we can always "what if" the subject to death on both sides....but the truth is plain...the more unpleasent the punishment the less likely you are to do something wrong......riff
