Usually the drunk co-ed party goers aren't the types who get a ccw. If you notice, all these mass shootings almost always take place in "gun free zones". And if anything, atleast let the teachers have a the option to carry if they're certified. You can't depend on police to help you.

Let me rephrase my statement. If a Gun free zone is gonna be a gun free zone, make goddamn sure its a gun free zone, have armed security posted at the gates, searches, whatever ya gotta do. And just in case some needle-dick decides to go on a non-discriminate shooting spree, have said armed security available to bring em' down.

And I'm sure those kids going to class that morning felt like it was just another soothing day before Whats-his-asian started shooting everybody.

Look, the whole "armed guard" spchiel was a suggestion, I'm sure there are better ones. My point is to keep a gun free zone just that. No one has guns whether its "Bad guys" or "good guys."

You know what, you're right. I mean, after 9/11 we ramped up our airport security so now it's completely efficient, and now we're completely safe.

Oh, wait...

We're not fucking talking about airports! We're talking about a college campus unable to defend itself against gun toters!

The point that I'm trying to make is that knee-jerk reactions to tragedies made in the name of increasing safety and security are bad ideas and don't make us any safer or more secure.
