In an area where many people are gathering, especially children... designating it as "gun free" allows security to consider the act of carry as criminal, and enables them to legally detain this person.
These are areas where the number of people make a tempting target for a mass shooter, and hamper security.
Stopping a shooter in these places quickly and safely is nearly impossible.
A ten second spray of bullets would cause devastating harm before any defense could be made, and returned fire would endanger too many bystanders.
Therefore,.. keeping guns out is the only solution.
It's not perfect, but this is the culture we live in.
The "gun free zone" is not to stop the shooter from bringing the gun,.. it's to allow security to identify the shooter. They can look for suspicious bulges, packages, behaviors, etc...
However you're looking at it, bunches of dead kids and teachers are a testament to how well it works.
Haven't seen a shooting at a school with a sign out front saying
Teachers and staff are armed and trained in the defense of our students.
A few miles away such a school exists..
Very comforting to see.
Your way has been a total failure.
No
Gun Free zone sign needs to exist for teachers to be looking for indicators of a kid with a gun.
Look at crime where
Law Abiding Citizens are carrying.
It's dropping.
Look at lefty shitholes.
Murder and mayhem in lefty places.
But what America NEEDS is more of your failed ideology.
