VT, Northern Illinios, the Amish School House, Columbine - for instance - have been in our consciousness for several news cycles.

They have not caused a massive push for armed students and teachers among the general public.

In fact, a Mumbai attack would probably lead to a push for armed guards everywhere (which we couldn't afford). If a squad of AK armed folks hose a school, a CCW type arguing that they could win the day with J frame probably would look stupid on TV.

After some school shooting, a major gun school offered free gun classes to the staff - the school principal said it really made him angry as the last thing they wanted was more guns. OH, horrors - says the choir.

But if you don't understand the emotional reaction, you get nowhere.

If people see guns misused, they usually don't MORE guns around. Human nature - deal with it.

The best thing is to push legislators to get rid of the ability of public places to ban carry. This includes business locations, schools, government buildings, etc. - unless there is a technical reason for a ban.

However, we have to shut up the private property types. They stand in the way of such and are used by the liability lawyers.
