I don't understand the point. Wouldn't it be better to arm good people so that they can protect themselves instead of disarming everyone? Especially since the person willing to cause harm onto someone else with the gun is already planning on breaking a law, why should they obey a law that says they can't have guns?
Here's another hypothetical. A man walks to a school with a gun, ready to shoot-em-up. Outside the school on the wall there's a sign that says "Gun free zone". What's the shooter gonna do, pack up and leave? No. He's gonna go into the school and shoot. If he's already going to break one law why would he care about another law?
Now what if he went in to shoot but someone at the front desk had a concealed carry. They whip it out and shoot at the shooter. Now either the shooter gets shot or runs away or the person at the desk gets shot. Someones gun would go off and notify whoever is near by that a crisis is happening.
There's my rant, agree, disagree, discuss, all that jazz.
