There is no such thing and [[criminal|wolves]] can always get a [[firearm]] into these areas. Given an evildoer with a willingness to die, these areas then become '[[Essay:France Pays Dearly - Liberal Gun Control Laws and Gun Free Zones that Welcome Terrorists|free fire zones]]' where [[shooting|shooters]] have engaged with initial impunity. In these areas, few law abiding citizens possess the most efficient means to stop the killing: the [[gun]]. There are many case studies which prove the abhorrent failure of this [[polyanna|feel-good]] but dangerous policy. It is a misguided and [[corruption|corrupt]] political system that seeks to [[gun control|disarm]] the [[Oath Keepers|good guys]] in some dragnet-type, pseudo-[[:Category:Safety|public safety]] policy that happily disarms ALL [[citizen]]s in the slight hope that the [[terrorist|lawless]] will also comply. They won't and haven't and never will. The 'gun-less' approach has failed miserably in the face of disturbed but motivated [[young mass murderers|mass killer]]s. It continues to cost lives."

If it isn't the gun, he will find [[knives|other means]] to accomplish his [[violence|brutal]] agenda. The REAL solution is [[political correctness|politically incorrect]] but proven to work: [[firearms|lethal force]] ([[concealed carry]] and/or [[open carry]]) employed immediately by a [[Essay:Sheepdogs for the sheeple|sheepdog]], either [[civilian]], [[Oath Keepers|veteran]] or [[law enforcement]] (also reference [[Nutnfancy]] video 'The [[Essay:Concealed Carry Protocol|Concealed Carry Protocol]]" [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ei8OK4WdoW0 Youtube]). [[Police]] have an unreliable track record in being able to quickly stop the [[young mass murderer|mass murderer]]; they can never arrive in time to prevent [[death]]. Better it is to have responsible citizens [[Everyday carry|armed]] and at the ready and vigilant. The gun will stop the gun and has many times. As in my video 'Close to Engage' ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oH3GV7EmzI4 YouTube]) shows, other methodologies exist but all require increased risk and closer contact. Instead we should abolish Gun Free Zones and encourage responsible, mature [[concealed carry|CCW]] holders to prevail in the next [[Charlie Hebdo|mass killing]] by allowing them to have the most effective means of [[self-defense|resistance]]. For some individuals, it may be necessary to engage in 'conscientious objection' against these [[gun control|disarmament]] restrictions.
