    UNLV is a gun free zone. Looks like another failed application of gun control.

      Gun free zones in the US are akin to putting a sign that says “No water allowed” on the bottom of the ocean.

      The only way to create real gun free zone in the US is by building a big fenced off area with guards and metal detectors.

      If only YOU were there, right? You’d have stopped them with your gun that wears a superhero cape!

      Gun free zones in America

      Don’t act like there aren’t reasonable options to help solve what is clearly an issue in this country just because one policy doesn’t work. It’s “If at first you don’t succeed, try try again” not “If at first you don’t succeed, just accept that kids getting slaughtered is par for the course”.

      Drunk college kids with guns. That’s a good idea.
