If we had swift, certain punishment for crimes (and many countries do, btw) - the crime rate would drop: for example Singapore - their violent crime rate is exceptionally low because they follow-through on their threatened punishment.
In the US, with the myriad appeals and technicalities that be filed, a criminal can be relatively certain that they have a good shot of getting a lighter sentence than is maximally possible.
There is no such thing as a "gun-free zone" - anyone who believes there is is setting themselves up for failure.
It's already a crime to commit murder (which is what happened in Newtown, for the record). The myth that a "gun-free zone" could exist only makes a criminal's job easier.

I said nothing of the kind - but thanks for trying to put words in my mouth that were not there.
