Putting up a “No Firearms Allowed” sign at the mall entrance doesn’t stop everyone from bringing guns inside — it only stops the law-abiding ones. Those law-abiding people are then left at the mercy of those who ignore the sign. This is so simple, so common-sense, yet the irony is that the left will use yesterday’s mall shootings in Omaha to call for even more gun prohibitions.
UPDATE: An excellent essay by John Lott.
