If they ban scary looking guns, make ownership of ANY firearm illegal, have extensive mental and background checks for those who are allowed to own guns and build elaborate, install top of the line security systems in every school, will you feel 100% safe?
Would that absolutely end tragedies like this?
Do you think that anybody other than those approved gun owners will have a gun?

Yes she is safe.
And no, criminals will still have guns. It is naive to think otherwise. Including the criminals in Washington DC. Do you expect them to give up their guns? Hahahaha

I've seen the videos of teachers having impressionable young students sing songs of devotion to Obama. As long as that sort of thing is going on, no child is safe in school.

Schools are not safe. Wackos look for soft targets of opportunity. A place that can offer little-to-no resistence is essential for them to carry out an evil act. This is why we don't see these wackos attacking police stations or military bases. They don't even attack gun stores or shows. They don't attack wal-mart either. Why? These are not gun-free zones and someone might start shooting back. Armed guards at schools should have always been the case. We do it for our court houses and for our local politicians. We do it for our air travelers and train riders. Why not for our children?
No schools are not safe, nor are malls, or even tall buildings. We live in a world of violence. You can let it dictate your actions, and stay home, coddled in cotton, or just accept that we cannot control the actions of others.
How many schools did not have a shooting rampage last week? Using the percentages, I suggest that while we cannot make society completely safe, looking at the percentile of sachools, and malls shot up in the last month, statistically, you are safe at school. But, that does not address the ones who got the wrong side of the numbers.
Those adults and children killed in CT, had every right to expect safety at their school, the only way to ensure that, is to keep advoctaing gun safety.
This gun owner should have had a gun safe, with the weapons locked securely away from the person who was unstable in the home. She paid for that mistake, with her life. Maybe if people buy guns, they should also have to purchase a secure gun safe.
The schools here are full of drug dealers who sell drugs right on campus. My kid doesn't choose to buy drugs --- but the drug dealers are what's hurting the kids here the most. Kids are nodding off in class and sitting there in a stupor which is definitely harming their education and futures.
For some reason the laws aren't working to protect the kids -- the drug traffickers and dealers are having a heyday here.
