Having guns doesn't prevent drive-by shootings. For fuck's sake, you can't seriously be presenting such a flawed propaganda piece and expect not to be ridiculed for it. Either you're incompetent and fail to recognize what is trivially illogical, or you're baiting people such as myself into a political rant.

Either way, I'm outta here.

 What's your solution then? Hate to break the news to you, but here in reality, the only thing that can prevent a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. Why do you think that the most dangerous places in the country are the ones that happen to also have the strictest gun laws, while the safest are the ones with the most leniant? I'm not saying we all go willy nilly wild west with guns, but creating laws that make it more difficult for people to own firearms, simply removes the guns from law abiding citizens. Words on a paper aren't going to stop criminals from being criminals.

4 Marines are going to be put in the ground in a few days, all because the liberals in this country are so damn afraid of servicemembers (men and women who are specifically trained to use them) from carrying firearms in places where they have no other form of security and are completely exposed. 

There are no solutions beyond removing guns from basically everyone so the opportunity for criminals to obtain them reduces to near zero. That scenario is supremely unrealistic. People enjoy guns as much as they enjoy religion.

We live in a world where there is ample opportunity to slay people. Freedom comes at a price, and this is it. Makes no difference whether or not there were armed guards there, considering the fact that it was a drive-by. And that was my only point.

Blaming a "gun free" zone for this is flawed, but that does not mean I support gun free zones...unless it's the entire public space.
