Overall, I doubt it would be an issue for high school students to carry guns in school if they met the legal requirements to conceal carry

They are doing something, its just not what you'd probably like. But you cannot say they are doing nothing.

Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act would do away with school gun free zones and allow citizens with concealed carry permits to do so in any state of the Union regardless of the state the permit was issued in. Would this have prevented what happened today if it were already law? I don't know. But claiming the government is doing nothing is objectively false.

It's probably the only effective thing next to banning them entirely. But I ask you, would you rather live in a world where everyone is armed, or no one is?


I would like to live in a world where no one is armed, but that usually ends up with the wrong people being armed. It's more of a "safe than sorry" deal.

How would the bad guys get guns if they're illegal? Wouldn't a complete ban allow the ATF to conduct sting operations on any potential buyers?

You can't uninvent something by making it illegal. The knowledge to make them isn't some closely guarded secret held only by big manufacturers. If there's a market, there will be production.

The man who killed a police commander in Chicago yesterday had an illegal 30 round magazine as well as a defaced, illegal gun.

the gun was likely purchased in a Republican state with loose gun laws


Then why wasn't the crime done in the same state it was bought in? Why travel to a place with stricter gun control to do the crime?

Taking that shot before someone with an AR-15 has the chance to shoot someone else does require superpowers, yes.
technically you may not even need to hit him. there was an interview with a police chief either last year or the year before. he stated that pretty much every mass shooter instantly stopped what they were doing and either ran or took their own life when met with force. the exception being those who were specifically targeting police. mass shooters want easy targets, they want to feel like gods in that moment. there is some truth as far "gun free zones" go.
