Why would the Mall of America bring in armed security guards?! ARE THEY MAD?!?

Don't they know that guns kill people?!

Why on earth would they try to bring guns into a gun free zone?!

Perhaps the bigger question should be why don't they have armed guards on a daily basis, or better yet, allow law abiding citizens to carry firearms to defend themselves wherever they go? I for one can't afford my own personal security force like the mall of America can or these wealthy politicians and actors who cling to gun control like an egg on pavement.

Update:

By the logic of "They are trained to use their firearms" Does that mean that if I apply for a concealed carry permit, have all of my qualifications and experience with firearms listed, should I then be allowed to carry anywhere I want? Should I also be restricted in the types of firearms or types of detachable magazines I should own?

There is a bit of hypocrisy in all of this.

    "Those who carry their guns around with them" have three significant difference separating them from cops:

    > They are LESS likely to murder you. (COPS have higher felony rates than CCW holders do)

    > They are MORE likely to save your ***. (Per-capita, CCW holders END more violent crimes than cops do.)

    > They are LESS likely to screw-up and kill the victim instead of the perpetrator. (Cops do this about 5 times more often - per shooting - than CCW holders do)

    THAT'S WHY Democrats prefer COPS

    Bonus: Since the FBI began keeping track, TWO crimes have involved machine-guns that were legally (up to that point) owned. COPS committed BOTH of them.

    THAT'S WHY Democrats say ONLY cops should be allowed to have them.

    You can not fight insanity (leftists and Islamic terrorists) with more insane rules so don't expect those who can't use their Rights and their Liberty in a responsible manner to suddenly behave rationally in these potentially deadly times.

    Using trained armed guards just makes good sense.

    Also, those with proper training who have properly obtained concealed carry permits should be allowed to carry them into a Mall or Theater.

    We can all see the evidence that lunatics are smart enough to seek opportunities to commit mass murder Only in places where guns are not permitted. That must change.

    An armed society, properly trained, will assure a free society is maintained.

    There was a threat made for Mall of America. I am not scared. They have help wanted signs out. As soon as a mad Muslim Terrorist enters Mall of America. They will see the help wanted sign at the BBQ place. Then they will make BBQ pulled pork sandwiches with the funny hat on their heads.

    So scary police officers, racist. Bad. ISIS good.

    Every adult who enters the mall if they have a gun, and if not, they should be issued one.

    Then if any terrorists should show up, they will be quickly disposed of.

    Because nothing makes an argument like shrilly screaming about it in a nonsensical fashion.

    The stupidity of armed "citizens" is that this allows any terrorist to walk openly in with a gun and security can't do anything about it till he starts shooting people.

    A guy walks into a convenience store with a shotgun and starts screaming about how they ripped him off, is that an armed citizen or a lunatic who is robbing the place?

    The difference between an armed guard and a private citizen it a mall guard has rules by which they have to abide, and the mall guard's weapon is registered. They can't transfer ownership of their firearm to anyone else, and they go through training.
