Sadly, we can add one more nation to the long list of failures for the so called gun free zones. These are areas that government officials have declared gun free areas. In other words, no law abiding citizen is allowed to bring a firearm into these areas. Predicatively, these are also the areas that mass shooters choose to kill people. Recently, a man used two handguns and a 223 rifle to shot and murder 20 children and 6 adults at an elementary school in Connecticut.
So do gun free zones actually work?
Let's see...
Columbine gun-free zone!
Virginia Tech gun free zone!
Amish school gun free zone!
Sikh temple shooting!
Aurora Theater gun free zone!
Oregon Mall gun free zone!
Connecticut school gun free zone!
We don't need more gun control. There's not need in trying to restrict the gun rights of good people, because the bad ones will never obey the law. We need to empower more good people to stand up to the bad ones by removing gun free zones.
Well said Reginald. We continue down the slippery slope to socialism a bit more daily. We maintain the illusion of liberty all the while stipulating prohibitions upon what would serve as protections of such liberty. The US Constitution has become more of a suggestion than the law of the land. It is sad we respond to an act of violence with a call for less freedom to protect ourselves from such violence isn't it?
