Should we eliminate gathering places?

I am responding to a guest opinion by Dennis F. Depcik in the Oct. 18 issue of the Daily Herald, "Is it enough to arm teachers?"

I am assuming, and hoping, that Mr. Depcik's comments are tongue in check. But if he really means what he is writing, wouldn't it be easier to eliminate schools, shopping malls, universities. theaters and anyplace where large numbers congregate? With this solution we would not need guns. (Totally tongue In cheek by this writer)
