Actually the analagy is a pretty good one. When was the last time you heard of a mass shooting at a gun range or police headquarters? Want to make your school a viable target for a madman? Make it a gun free zone and it qualifies immediately.

What about a mass shooting in the airport, the airplane, and perhaps government premises where you are not allowed to take a gun.
If you want to prevent a mass shooting in a school you're better off securing the perimeter or arming the population than banning a type of gun.
Well I'd say that gun free zones are the absolute most absurd gun regulation in existence. Whether ultimately right or wrong, logical arguments can be made for banning types of weapons, securing certain areas, restricting sale/ownership, etc.
There is however no logical argument for a gun free zone that relies solely on the fact that it is called a gun free zone to remain gun free. None.
Simply calling an area a "gun free zone" without actually securing it is actually worse than just doing absolutely nothing.
Gun owners just have to organize protest busses to the state capital and stage park ins en masse with cars. Shut the place down. The lawmakers will crawl into their bunkers to hide but they won't escape the message.
