In this case I felt their position while aggressive was appropriate and they put their money where the mouth is with a ready to implement plan that calls for immediate action. There is no doubt in my mind that their plan would have positive effects and our schools would become a less desirable target in the shooters planning process.

IMO - You will never stop people from committing these atrocities but you can implement measures that will redirect them to other gun free zones or targets of low resistance.

One has to wonder - if the media gave next to zero publicity to these shooters - how many would just end their internal battle by shooting themselves in seclusion?
