Gunfree zones cost lives

In addition to the gunman, blood is on the hands of members of Congress and the Connecticut legislators who voted to ban guns from all schools in Connecticut (and most other states). They are the ones who made it illegal to defend oneself with a gun in a school when that is the only effective way of resisting a gunman.



What a lethal, false security are the Gun Free Zone laws. All of our mass murders in the last 20 years have occurred in Gun Free Zones. The two people murdered a couple of days earlier in the shopping center in Oregon were also in a Gun Free Zone.

Do you really and truly believe it will become acceptable in our society for schoolteachers to be packing in the classroom? Scout's honor? lol

Bob you obviously have a low and slanted opinion of school teachers...Do you likewise think pilots on planes shouldn't carry or are they smarter and more macho than a little helpless soft school teacher...give me a break...

I just posted this in another thread. I repeat it here.

We are a warrior nation. We thrive on violence. The power of a handgun is indescribable. We also have an inordinate amount of psychopaths running around loose who are who are being influenced by television and computer games. You don't have to pass a background check to buy a gun. Thieves get guns in burglaries and then sell them to anybody with the money.We can legislate laws from now on and there will still be madmen with guns.

The only way to slow it down is swift punishment.It will never be stopped, there are just too many guns available. Last week a murderer was executed somewhere here in the US TWENTY-SIX YEARS after the crime for which he was convicted. This is NUTS.
Many people favor locking criminals up, moralists refuse to accept the death penalty. They are NUTS.

Sadly, I expect our Congress will never follow through with my suggestion. There will never be tough laws to punish criminals especially the death sentence and it won't be because of morality issues. It will be because there is so much money to be made in the courts. The legal profession makes untold amounts of money trying and defending criminals. Our Congress doesn't require a person to be an attorney but the big majority of them are attorneys who know their bird's nest on the ground will not last forever and they want a place to practice law when they finally leave Congress. I hope there is a lawyer among us who will rebut this view.
