I checked on the web. The students are victims of the federal law which
makes illegal any gun-carry in educational institutions. It's hardly
surprising that the nutters pick on these places when the legislation
guarantees them Safety At Work.

Compare and contrast with that mall where the would be spree-killer was
shot at (and possibly shot) by an out-of-state cop exercising his
concealed-carry rights. The folks who penned and voted for that law have
blood on their hands too.
