Shortly after the gunfire, Mason said, someone on an overhead speaker told workers to seek shelter and later to head for the gates at the complex.

So your proposed solution to gun violence is to introduce more guns into the equation? I don't see how that helps. The more people you have shooting in the same place, the worse it's gonna be.

Heh. That's basically what they're doing around the world. Children and women get shot every other day. It's like being a wild animal in the jungle, but your weapons are a lot more dangerous and your enemies are a lot smarter and more capable.

People, its not a coincidence: Newtown CT, Blacksburg VA, Fort Hood, Columbine, Aurora etc.
The perpetrators of these crimes are not randomly choosing these locations.
They are specifically targeting these areas because they know they can inflict maximum casualties. They know that honest, gullible, naive, law-abiding citizens will respect these stupid laws and leave their firearms outside the invisible border of the "gun free" zone.
Professor John Lott on gun free zones.

Yah, go hide until police arrive...
And please, lets not even start the "banning guns" nonsense.
Its a right, not a privilege.

I was just reading about a school with armed guards that got shot up and two military bases. But I bet you had a point.
Deputy Gardner exchanged fire with Harris and Klebold, which stopped the pair from firing at students. Gardner's actions allow teacher Patti Nielson and student Brian Anderson (who were both shot at and injured) to escape and survive.

You mean that school where the guard did engage the shooters and potentially kept the number of wounded and killed down:

and those two bases that are "gun free" save for the MP's who carry unloaded guns?
