This is obviously a move that swings away from ever banning guns but if your going to allow it there’s not really any point half assing it. Or making stricter rulings on legal gun owners as opposed to people who are going to break those laws anyways to harm people.
Unless they are willing to start at the top and make it harder to get guns period then at least allowing legal owners more rights of where they can carry helps protect people from the nut jobs they allow to buy guns with next to no vetting.
I guess my point is if I live in a place where just about anyone can buy a gun, which is the root of the problem. I’d want to legally be able to carry mine just about anywhere I went. Someone who is going to carry out one of these shootings won’t care what the laws about storage in an area are when they mow a group of people down.

So essentially that's just giving up. Adding more guns in more places isn't a cure, it's a placebo that might just kill you.
