The real guilty people here are the people who provided a killer with 32 legally disarmed victims he could happily slaughter. I'm not saying every student should be armed but perhaps security should be and without the kill me first uniforms. But even the college administration isn't solely at fault. The real guilty parties are the professors who convinced the administration and most of all the students, students who were expecting rationality from their professors, that gun free zones would make them safe. Such zones make no one safe. Yes, it is time to rethink gun free zones. The real guilty people here are the people who provided a killer with 32 legally disarmed victims he could happily slaughter.

I told her that if students were allowed to carry firearms all it would take was for someone to see him firing one round and he would have been dropped like a fly.
