JOEL - would you run at a shooter armed with a AR-15 or AK-47 spitting out a steady stream of bullets armed with a taser - gee can I get close enough before a bunch of bullets hit me?  If you would, you are much braver than me; I ducked and went for cover every time someone shot at me.

Without responding in detail, point by point, I will just offer my final thought.
I think the gun free zone is more symbolic than it is as a deterrent, or a tool for law enforcement, or those uncomfortable with the fact others carry.
Life has no guarantees, nor should it, as that would reduce society to such a captiviness, it might resemble a prison, instead of a freedom.

On the same vein of reasoning, I would also suggest the right to bear arms as assurances against a tyrantical government, is symbolic as well.
To believe in this day and age a “coup” standing against our formed democracy, based on the arming of limited firepower, is silly....
Therefore the only thing it really represents is a symbolic gesture.

Also, so many other implements of destruction exsist nowadays, biological attacks having much more damaging capacity than a rapid firing gun powered driven tool.

If we as a society believe gun control is a fix to our ills, that too is mistaken.
I would venture to suggest our real threat come from the lack of respect, and understanding, of what it means to grant freedom of speech, as a right, unfettered, to all.
You constrain or abridge that, then expect, rightly so, fallout.

No, of course not.
But keep in mind, and this is crucial to beginning to debate such a challenge to the constitution.....
The foundation upon which it rest, can not be readily dismissed.
What it “represents” is more than a “instrument”.

We must always stand guard against a “power” overseeing its own welfare.
I think history is chalk full of examples, and death counted in the hundreds of thousands, if not millions.

We must keep that fact as manifest, and find a solution that can accomplish that, without compromising it.

That is why I believe using emotions to generate interest, is a bad way to go about finding a solution.....
Not to even mention how politicians try to use it to their own benefit, capitalizing on the misfortunes of others.

protected by the Constitution,... your "well regulated militia" duties aren't needed in a school or crowded public place.  

Really?
Then why do the places where armed people are illegal keep getting shot up?
