What I do know is that the laws that have been enacted are often not enforced or are not effective. Gun free zones are not respected by the mentally ill or criminally inclined. Criminals are not hindered by restrictive gun laws. Law abiding gun owners who have never even shot Bambi are the ones who are impacted.
You do realize only about 15% of all mass shootings happen in "gun free zones," so that really isn't the issue here. People carrying guns to school wouldn't have prevented this from happening, and people shouldn't have to fear for their lives to get an education.
Oregon is a very lax with their gun laws, so I doubt making them more lax would have solved any issues here. Your last sentence tells me you know zero about Roseburg or Southern Oregon. I bet you most people there own guns and go hunting regularly.
Even better is....all the people going on about gun free zones dont seem to realize that oregon colleges aren't fun free areas. People with concealed carry are explicitly allowed to carry by law.

Anymore false information you would like to spread?
Your hostility is not conducive to a discussion. I was merely citing two solutions that liberals have pushed to help solve the issue of gun violence. And your pointing out Oregon's lax gun laws are helping to prove my point. Lax states or restrictive states such as Illinois or New York have not changed anything. Nutjobs and criminals will come out of the woodwork where and when they want and liberals good intentions make no difference. They only impact law abiding citizens.
Without written permission-which is covered by the concealed carry. This was settled in court. Yes the college had a policy...that was completely unenforceable.
I have friends who work at some colleges. they have concealed carry, and know their rights. Not guessing at them-it was completely covered by court rulings.
I am wondering if we are ever going to hear the whole story about this one. The president is asking for gun control when he needs to be concentrating on religious extremist from what I heard reported on TV in the early stages. Did anybody else hear about the people being shot being asked about their religion? I heard this mentioned by someone who was in the next room then I have heard nothing else about it.
