I simply can not fathom the number of people who think more guns, and armed guards and faculty in elementary schools is the solution to this problem. The thought of armed guards in elementary schools is soul-deadening to me.

I guess we'll just never know what would have happened if something like this had ever happened in a place full of CCP carrying citizens, with a proper, armed security response....like, say a mall. I worked in a mall for five years....I had to pass 3 gun stores to get there, worked with at least two folks who had CCPs and carried every day (including the mentally handicapped, 50 year-old dishwasher lady), this particular mall had an armed security force that patrolled the building and a Sheriff's office ON SITE. That mall was Clackamas Town Center.
