Suppoort for Executive Order 50 that bans firearms in executive branch agency offices
 

I wholeheartedly support Executive order 50 that bans firearms in executive agency offices. The risk of  intentional or accidental shootings and the strenghtened ability of law enforcement to discern friend from foe during a shooting incident provide an overwhelming rationale to support Order 50. As someone who had to deal with the aftermath of the tragedy at Virginia Tech, it makes no sense not to take common sense actions to reduce the danger of similar tragedies in the future.
