Santa Monica College is a gun free school
Ethel C. Fenig

I just don't
understand how John Zawahari could have allegedly shot and killed all
those people at Santa Monica College last Friday.   After all,
not only is murder against the law, the city of Santa Monica has strict
gun control laws as does the state of California.  And also,
according to its
website, Santa Monica College is a gun free school.

Weapons Prohibition on
Campus

Possessions of firearms or replicas,
ammunition, explosives, knives/blades longer than 21/2 inches, other
weapons, or fireworks are against the law in the College community or at
College -sponsored activities. California Penal Codes 626.9 and 626.10
also prohibit the possession of firearms (including pellet and BB guns)
on College property without specific written permission of the Chief of
Police.

If you are a witness to a crime involving a
weapon, please call 9-1-1 immediately. If you see a weapon of any kind
on campus, alert SMCPD by calling (310) 434-4300
or
9-1-1.

So when the law abiding gun free students and
others heard the loud bangs and realized that there was "a crime involving
a weapon" on their idyllic gun free campus they diligently called
police.  But, as the cliche has it, when seconds count the police
were minutes away.  And in the few minutes it took for the police to
arrive, confront the alleged shooter Zawahari and ultimately kill him,
Zawahari killed more while terrified thousands huddled defenselessly
in closets and under desks.  No one confronted him.

Like all schools, all institutions, all
communities

At Santa Monica College, the safety and well
being of our students, faculty and staff are always our first priority.
With the support of other departments, we have numerous people involved
in keeping this campus safe and secure.

(snip)

Working together, safety at Santa Monica
College is everyone's business. No community, of course, can be totally
risk free in today's society. Students, faculty/staff and visitors are
partners in creating an atmosphere that is safe and conducive for
teaching and learning.

Hmmm, perhaps Zawahari somehow didn't get
the message about the school's weapons prohibitions and concern for "the
safety and well being of our students, faculty and staff".  Or, for
whatever reasons, he disagreed with the message.  Or maybe, just
maybe Zawahari knew he wouldn't have much of a problem with his disturbed,
deadly mission as he knew others would most likely be unarmed.

As a result, the unexpected--to gun control
advocates--consequences of total disarmament is not "the safety and well
being" of the objects of concern but the opposite.
