gun right advocates

If gun individuals have the RIGHT to keep and bear arms as it says in the Constitution then this can and should be the results. You'll notice that the killing spree stopped once Jeanne Assam dropped the gunman in his tracks.

Given the apathy of many and knowing that very few people have read or even understand the Constitution the results will more than likely end up in this manner. You'll notice that police nor any well intended citizen stopped this from continuing, the gunman himself ended it mercifully.

Many will attribute this to having too many guns in society, however very few people that are actually gun toting 2nd Amendment types will go into a mall and shot the place up. I would much rather have NO security then to have my government disarm innocent people.

"when seconds are critical the police are always minutes away"

I would like to point out that our police agencies aren't designed to stop this type of action, only to mop up after the event happened. A well armed citizenry is the ONLY means to bring these types of events to a stop, well that and government agencies getting out of the way.

it should make an educator proud

"Illiteracy is going to kill America" Clearly had he seen the signs posted all over the mall entrance door this wouldn't have occured. GUN FREE ZONES are exactly that gun free for all not just those that chose to obey the signs.

Perhaps the next time an individual goes on a shooting spree in one of these gun free zones there should be a class action lawsuit against the owner of said facility for lack of protection provided.
Depression or not this individual chose to go to a crowded place and inflict his lunacy on others when he could've made the choice to turn the gun on himself and ended his own misery and few if any would've noticed.

I recommend any group or individual which promotes gun control to place a sign on there home and business stating that this is a gun free zone that way the less informed doesn't walk into my home and end up D.R.T.
