GUN FREE ZONES ARE DEATH TRAPS

Columbine, Virginia Tech, Aurora, CO. theater,
Newtown, Connecticut, Charleston, SC, Chattanooga,
TN, the Lafayette, LA theater and now Roseburg, OR.
All sites of mass shootings in the United States
during the last eight years, and all occurred in
so-called gun free zones. Universities, schools,
malls, churches, theaters, military recruiting
centers and bases are mostly gun free zones either
designated as such by the federal, state or local
governments, or the institutions themselves.
They
are in fact death traps where virtual targets are
painted on the backs of the students, shoppers,
movie goers, church attendees, and even military
personnel. If you are a terrorist, or just a nut
case looking to make a name for yourself, your plan
is to go somewhere and kill as many people as
possible before the police arrive and can shoot
back. That is the way all of these mass shootings
have worked. They are usually carefully planned in
advance and gun free zones are chosen because no
civilians in the zones will have firearms. It is
like shooting fish in a barrel.
The
massacre at Umpqua College in Oregon not technically
in a gun free zone since concealed carry was
allowed, but the only person on the campus who had a
firearm was a U.S. Army veteran who tried to leave
the campus veteran center and intervene when the
first shots were being fired. However, he was
blocked from doing so by campus officials. This is a
prime example of the gun free zone mentality on the
campus and was confirmed by the fact that the only
security guard on the campus was not allowed to be
armed.
The
shooting has caused the usual leftist knee jerk
reactions with Obama demanding gun control and
Hilary coming out with a draconian plan that would
include allowing victims of firearm violence to sue
gun manufacturers. It is designed to force
manufacturers out of business and disarm honest
Americans through the back door. Apparently, the
only criteria for successful suits would be that
someone was killed by a firearm manufactured by a
certain firm. Imagine that, a gun manufacturer could
be force to pay damages to the family of a violent
Chicago gang member who was shot by a rival gang
member.
Of
course, none of the proposals from the left mention
gun free zones. They stick to the false narrative
that gun free zones will ultimately keep students
and others safe from people like the Oregon shooter.
When they are proven wrong they blame the guns, law
abiding gun owners, and the NRA. They will also
ignore the facts and come up with far-fetched
narratives that are designed to support their
agenda. For example, the Everytown for Gun Safety
group, an anti-Second Amendment organization
released a study that declared that only 14% of mass
shootings in the U.S. occurred in gun free zones.
The other 86% they claim occurred in non-gun free
zones.
They
define mass shootings as an incident where at least
four people are injured. Yet, they include shootings
in private homes since they do not consider them gun
free zones. How does that work in a home invasion
situation when armed intruders enter a home where
the homeowner does not own a gun and cannot defend a
family that is shot down by the intruders? The group
also includes cities like Chicago where private
firearm ownership in severely curtailed, but
criminals are heavily armed. However, since the
police carry weapons the city is not classified as a
gun free zone.
The
same criteria was probably applied to the shootings
in Chattanooga, TN. Even though the recruiting
center and reserve center were gun free zones this
group would have claimed they were not since the
police in the city were armed.
This
is the type of twisted thought that the left
repeatedly uses to push for gun confiscation and the
banning of gun ownership by honest American
citizens.
When
the same data was reviewed by the Crime Prevention
Research Center (CPRC) it determined that 92 % of
the mass shootings between January 2009 and July
2014 did in fact occur in gun free zones. The main
stream media widely praised the badly flawed
Everytown study despite the fact that it was
basically a lie. That is what Obama and the left
will do; lie to justify the destruction of the
Constitution of the United States. We have to do
everything we can to stop that from happening.
