Note also that in Colorado, Holmes sought out the single theater out of 7 in the area that had a policy of a weapons ban. Not the largest, not the closest. The one that had the lowest chances of resistance.
The largest mass killing was at Virginia Tech, where 32 died and 17 were seriously wounded. Virginia Tech is one of few areas in Virginia that is a gun free zone. In fact, every single incident was in a weapons free zone and/or a gun free zone. Not just in the USA.
In Europe mass killings have been about the same in number as the USA, despite the fact that many of those countries have very strict gun control/bans. Every one of those have been in gun/weapons free zoned.
The crazies will always be around. The question is why has the government denied the means of protecting the children that the government has charge of? Why are the kids, the teachers, the administrators banned from protecting those that cannot protect themselves?
This is smoke and mirrors folks. The government has come up with yet another failure. But face reality: advertizing that a school or public area cannot resist is a magnet to someone that has murder as an objective. Those that came up this idea, like the political elites in DC have armed protection for THEIR children. THEY are important, your children? ...Not so much.
Once again, the ideological agenda of the political elites is paramount. They will not admit they have made a horrible mistake, and like all the other crisis of the recent past, they are using this incident to advance their own power.
The stupidity and ignorance of the liberals and so-called progressives is mind-numbing. If all the anti-gun laws were enforced, only criminals and evil persons would have weapons. Clearly, we must advertise more around schools that this is a gun-free zone and then the evil people will shy away from such places - NOT!!! Further, there is already a ban on automatic firing weapons. What the so-called progressives want is to outlaw semi-automatic weapons.
As a "combat veteran"... IF you know there is an enemy out there who ambushed your children 31 times in the past; i.e., school shootings; and you also discovered that the police NEVER yet arrived on time to stop the shooter; and that all the "safety precautions" lock downs, hiding, running; RUNNING AT the shooter as did the principle at the school; "shielding" the children did not in fact save those children or themselves. I would ask why is it then that the Brady Brainwashing Bill that is embedded into teachers, principals, fathers and mothers of children at schools; not to mention the police, who if THEY were being shot at would shoot back to kill, is still being looked at as the answer for saving the lives of innocents murdered? Gee FBI and Law Enforcement; why are YOU so silent to the OBVIOUS!?
Did you notice, (probably not) that not one time was the question or statement directed at what could of or would of happened if the principal, the nurse, or any of the teachers had a gun and shot at this killer what the result would have been? Would it have been worse in terms of results? Does anyone think that a trained loving woman who wants to protect those children would rather have had a chance to SHOOT AT this killer rather than RUN AT him?
All the safety measures put in place and appear to continue to be maintained will NEVER protect children in schools from this. AND NOT ONE 911 call has been in time to stop the massacre...not one. I call it "Dial 911 and DIE". All you see after the "killing field" has been established is police acting like they are doing or have done something when in fact...they did NOTHING!
So if teachers who love children, parents who love children, who want to protect their children; then be as prepared as a cop or a veteran would be for potential combat. Better to have a gun and not need it than need it and not have it. It is because the 2nd Amendment was in the school trash can that those kids are dead.
There should have been a sign on that door and all school doors..."Staff heavily armed and trained. Any attempt to harm our children will be met with deadly force". The "other sign" is an invitation - as it was in Aurora where there were 2 theaters closer, but the one where the tragedy took place advertised that concealed weapons were prohibited - and always will be and always has been including on this day of infamy. It was not the gun that killed those children; it was NOT having a gun to protect them that killed them and I say that from being shot in combat. I would have laid down my life for those children...by not running at them...but by placing one bullet in his head before he had a chance to do what he did. Why can not a woman; who is a teacher or a principal; who loves her children, do the same, or want to?
By the way, the deadliest school attack in this country -- deadliest school attack in American history -- was in 1927. That was the Bath School murders. Thirty-eight children and seven adults were killed, including the killer himself. Oh, he didn't use guns. He used dynamite.
Also, have you heard anything of armed citizens stopping attacks in public places? No? There were 13 such episodes within the last 3 weeks and several were done by women, one as old as 86. But, you won't hear any of that from the lapdog, progressive MSM.

Thanks for this. I've been banging my head for the last several day trying to get people to understand this.
And yeah, I remember New Life Church gunman. This particular crazy had 1,000 rounds and there were more than that number as potential victims. Instead, the POS was nailed by a Ms. Assam. Two died, but there would most likely been a huge number of dead and wounded if the lady hadn't been armed and ready to protect others.
And there have been several dozen murdered children in China over the last couple of months. No guns. Knives. One adult with a gun would have ended any of those incidents.
