You think any of these shooters in the past couple of years cared one way or the other......did you think they planned on escaping alive? Most died of self inflicted wounds. I don't think this gun free zone is an issue whatsoever.

Obama isn't running for the Democrats in 2016.

You're running an old crooked lady or an old socialist. The turnouts the Democrats got in 2008 and 2012 won't happen again for those two old white people.

You have me confused as a Democrat. I merely posted a fact that Obama's voters will be looking for a similar candidate to support.....and I really doubt the inner city voters know much about NRA nor do they care if the GOP candidate is a card carrying NBA member.

....in fact the loon who murdered Chris Kyle, although not a mass shooting, did it at a firing gun range......these loons don't care.

The community college in Oregon wasn't a gun free zone. There was at least one trained veteran with a cc permit that made the (proper) decision to not engage the shooter.

One security guard for a whole college isn't going to cut it.

The thing is, once elected, she won't actually do anything about it.
No president can do anything about gun control.

It's up to Congress or state legislators, or not.

Maybe fed will give states $ to pay for LE in every hallway in every school.

The college had a ban on carrying guns on campus. State law allows concealed carry on campus and it was common knowledge that some students conceal carried. Two security guards worked on campus. They were unarmed security guards.

Gore WON the popular vote in 2000.

In 2000, George W. Bush was declared the winner of the general election and became the 43rd president, but he didn’t win the popular vote. Al Gore holds that distinction, garnering about 540,000 more votes than Bush. However, Bush won the electoral vote, 271 to 266.
