So you think having a policy that allows everyone to carry on campus would have helped to prevent a school shooting?

You're trying to speak on their behalf. They no longer have voices outside their friends and family. I don't pretend to know their politics.

Can you say that it's impossible that more people having guns will mean more guns fired and thus a higher probability of renegade bullets? Have you ever taken fire from several semi or automatic weapons? I haven't but I can imagine it may be more intense than a firing range.

They often do, unfortunately. Google 'accidental police shootings '.
