I can't help but notice the total dearth of mass shootings at gun shops, gun ranges, and police stations.

It's almost as if the shooters want to cause the most damage possible with the lowest risk of retaliation.

If guns themselves were the problem, you'd think that statistically these shootings would happen where large numbers of guns were to be found in close proximity to one another, but this clearly isn't the case. Declaring "gun free zones" practically advertises to a potential shooter free reign to fire at will free from risk.

This is absolutely correct. Shooters target gun free zones because they know they have little chance of being stopped in the act.

People are saying "it's time for Congress to do something"... Well it's time we start talking about allowing teachers and staff to carry concealed. After a stringent background check and of course a rigorous, comprehensive training course led by a law enforcement instructor.

Also don't just shout "herrrr derrr we need gun control" and make a broad sweeping demand. Say what it is you want. If you want a full on ban of firearms and a Nationwide confiscation, then grow a pair and say that. I think you'll quickly learn just how unpopular that idea is, however.
