[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 2798274, member: 1132"] Just as you'll never abolish the 2nd Amendment or freedom of speech, you'll never rescind property rights. You'll never get a law passed that forces public property owners to hire armed guards or install metal detectors. You'll never be able to forbid them from posting property in regards to guns. So why continue going down that road? Here's an exercise for you. Name me 10 active shooter incidents prior to 1980. I'll help you out with the first one. Charles Whitman - Texas Bell Tower Shooting - 1966 Only nine more to go... Tough question, isn't it? The real answer to significantly reducing AS events is exactly the same as what reduced gun accidents. Education. We need to educate the public at large to recognize the difference between unique behavior and severe mental illness. People with SMI need to be contained both mentally and physically until they can be effectively treated, at least to the point they no longer constitute a danger to others. It really is that simple. :( [/QUOTE]
