A gun-free zone is a place where, by law or company or another rule, no person may bring a gun on-site.
The concept of a place where "people can be sure no one has a gun" is now controversial, for a simple reason: the United States has seen a raft of mass murders, all occurring in such zones. According to the Crime Prevention Research Center, nearly 98% of all mass public shootings in the U.S. since 1950 occurred in a gun-free zone.[1][2] Despite this, the gun control lobby Liberal deceit claims that the percentage is lower by including attacks in private homes and by ignoring gun control laws on civilians.[3]
Ironically, the Fort Hood venue where thirteen soldiers died, was a gun-free zone, per military regulation. So also was Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. Ten of the eleven most serious mass shootings during Barack Obama's presidency occurred in gun-free zones.[4]
- When a crazy gunman wants to go on a rampage, where do they choose to go on their rampage? They choose a gun free zone. Columbine was a gun free zone. So was Virginia Tech and Sandy Hook.[5]
