As to the impact of eliminating this gun free zone at this time, no one will ever know...

But, the intent of establishing the gun free zone was to stop "gun violence". Obviously it didn't work here. And, "gun violence" is not that difference from "violence" in general. If it were lethal "knife violence" or "fist violence" which is more common, the press would not be covering it this widely.

If the perpetrator had chosen to attack others, including myself if I were there, I would be better off if I were not disarmed. The results for others would vary in unpredictable ways.
