The time is overdue for a reassessment of such laws. All they have done is create target-rich, no-risk environments for monsters who have no fear of encountering an armed teacher or administrator, or a legally-armed private citizen who might happen to be in the building.

This sort of thing didn't happen before the advent of gun-free school zone laws. You never saw such an outrage in the days when high schools typically had rifle teams, and -- particularly in the West -- where it was common in the fall to find both teachers and students with hunting rifles or shotguns locked in their cars.
