[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 3379031, member: 22662"] So a scenario of a local sports complex that is a gun free zone would be better off with guns allowed? I don’t recall such places being rife with mass shootings. I imagine that considering the intensity of sports competition, alcohol being served, and weapons being abundant would cause more problems. Really this logic is flawed from the beginning. Saying that having more guns in currently gun free zones would reduce gun violence is a statement without proof. Consider schools. Think about armed teachers. Are these school shooters deranged? Probably. Stupid? Probably not. So a school shooter enters a classroom. Who’s the first one shot? Teacher of course. The rest of the class is at the mercy of the gunman. What’s solved by arming the teachers? Likely the death count goes up because the deranged killer will be confined to a room with 25 to 30 targets. Who knows how far away the next armed teacher is? How many lethal shots can the shooter get off? Will the next armed teacher come alone and just be outgunned? Really, it’s an idea that really solves nothing. It’s a “feel good” idea for the right wing. [/QUOTE]
