Let the people at work know that prohibition has never worked in our society in the USA.

It doesn't matter what is prohibited (alcohol; drugs; prostitution....) behavior isn't altered and a criminal underclass is created.

These "experiments" take a long time to work through, and in the meantime a large number of people get hurt.

The only thing that can stop a violent criminal is immediate overwhelming counter-force.

The problem isn't the tool used (a knife was used in China Friday to attack a larger number of school children).

See this for more of the carnage over there:

Look at the Oregon mall shootings. A concealed carry permit holder stopped it without firing a shot. When the criminal saw him the next shot was the criminal's suicide. The CCH permit holder saved many lives...
