Gun-free zones. Depending on which side of the Second Amendment debate that you’re on, you likely either love them or hate them.
Which is crazy, if you think about it.
Why would I saw that? Because if you know how active shooters think about gun-free zones, then, you would have the same opinion on gun-free zones that pro-2A people have. Every. Single. Time.
Think that I’m kidding? I’m not. Not even a little bit.
Gun-free zones simply tell active shooters where to go if they want to kill the most people. Oh, and they allow ignorant people to feel better emotionally while being, in reality, in more danger.
Here is a reality check for those who need facts (hat tip to here for the lead). Nikki Goeser writes,
While my story [of a loved one being murdered in a gun-free zone] is unique, violence and murder in “Gun Free Zones” are not.
According to a 2018 report by Crime Prevention Research Center, a research and education organization on guns, crime and public safety, 94% of mass public shootings occur in “Gun Free Zones.”
In my home state of Tennessee, where three 9‑year‑old children and three adults were massacred at The Covenant School, the killer’s manifesto made a note to check the parking lot for security before entering the building. The killer had “looked at” two other schools, both public, before deciding “the security was too great to do what (the alleged shooter) wanted to do.”
So, the killer chose a private Christian school, where the security “is a whole lot less,” while updating the murderous plot to attack the more vulnerable location, in order to get a higher body bag count.
Clearly, these evil people aren’t looking for a fair fight. They want full control and no opposition along the way. That’s why “Gun Free Zones” continue to be their No. 1 destination for a massacre.
Gun-free zones are the number one destination for mass shooters to commit a massacre. They target gun-free zones because they want to kill as many people as possible. Which means that would-be mass shooters see gun-free zones as giving them the best chance at killing as many people as possible.
Knowing that, tell me how any rational person can advocate for gun-free zones, especially at schools.
You can’t.
To advocate for gun-free zones is to advocate for murdering children. It simply isn’t a defensible or acceptable position.
