[QUOTE="ConstitutionCowboy, post: 3293018, member: 745"] I wish they'd stop calling these things "school shootings." They are shootings at a school. No one shoots the school. They shoot the people IN the school. They don't call the shootings at a bar a "bar shooting." The bar doesn't get shot nor is it the target. They don't call a shooting at a street corner a "street corner shooting." No one shoots the street corner. The street corner is not the target. People are the target. Maybe if proper use of the language was employed, there would be better understanding of what is actually happening and the kids in our schools would be better protected. Barriers are put up to 'protect the schools,' but little to nothing is done up front and center to provide protection for the kids. "No Gun Zones" are a joke! All they accomplish is unhindered mass murder which provides those who act to disarm us an 'excuse' to demonize guns and attempt to take them away. Woody [/QUOTE]
