    Because its one if the few places you can be nearly 100% certain no one will fire back. Shoot up a restaurant, mall, church, park, etc you will receive return fire from lawful carriers almost immediatly, especially in Texas.

      If congress got shot up as often as schools did, some sane gun control might actually happen.

        There are more guns in the US than people (some estimates have it at nearly 2 to 1). You cant stop people from getting them any more than the war on drugs stopped people from buying weed.

        What really needs to happen is solving the root issue of violence. Poverty and a lack of access to healthcare (which includes mental healthcare).
