The 2nd amendment doesn't say we can have guns. It says we should have guns.
The idea behind the freedom to bear arms in this country is for protection of the people. These crimes happen because the victims have had that protection legislated away from them. Gun free zones do as much to deter a dedicated criminal as a speed limit sign stops Americans from going 56 down the freeway.
I'm not saying we need armed guards everywhere. I believe we as American citizens have the Constitutional right to arm ourselves to fight against this type of evil.
