Gun Free zones are negated by gun bazaars just a 15 minute drive away. In our area near Washington DC all I have to do is make a quick run over the Potomac to the monthly Gun show in Chantilly VA to buy enough state-of-the-art fire power to arm a Navy Seal Team!
Civilized, well-functioning society is by definition a largely "gun-free zone." There are armed security elements, and people can own and operate guns within restricted parameters...but a civilized society does not work on a premise that in order to function effectively and safely, people have to go around everywhere with semi-auto rifles.
If we all have to arm ourselves to the teeth just to safely go to school, work, stores, etc., then something has gone drastically wrong - we are living in the jungle, not in a civilized society.
This is something that modern-day social conservatives cannot comprehend, because their mentality has never left the jungle in the first place.

So tell me.. How well did your gun free zone work at Sandy Hook?
