[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1342576, member: 14668"] 1. Armed teachers have a far greater chance of stopping a crazed guman than unarmed ones do. 2. Adam Lanza used a rifle, not a handgun. 3. The magazine capacity of his rifle had no bearing on the outcome of the massacre; he was able to reload at will because no one but him was armed in the "gun free" zone. 4. Most school shooters have spent months if not years planning and fantasizing about their massacre. We can make guns more difficult to obtain but it will never be impossible for someone who is determined enough to follow thru on their plan. 5. Virtually all mass shootings occur in "gun free zones" and mass murderers choose these locations because they know their victims will be unarmed and helpless. If you simply cannot abide the thought of allowing law-abiding people to defend themselves, can we at least change the name from "gun free" zone to "unarmed helpless victim" zone? It would certainly be a more accurate and honest description of what these zones truly are. [/QUOTE]
