Good example of people feeling it's; "more important to feel good about yourself (gun free zone signs) than actually doing anything practical". They really don't like the way the real world solutions to the issue make them feel, so its easier to just pretend the problem is solved.

Or, from my more cynical side, maybe it's reflective of some people that are more interested in having the issue and feeling morally superior, than actually solving the problem.
