There have been plenty of attempted shootings at court houses but I don't know of any recent "mass shootings" at a court houses.
(To be honest, I haven't researched it)

But I would think that when attempted shootings do occur in one, they are usually un successful or at least quickly subdued before getting off many shots due to the fact that there are armed guards/police there.

What's the percentage of murders committed in "gun free zones" to murder-suicides committed in houses with a gun in the home?

I have a better idea. Split-up the country.

Let the big gov't moonbats (statists included) have their country, and let the freedom loving libertarian types have theirs. I know I'd have to move, but to be free of the big gov't types would make it well worth it.

I have no idea why he picked the Aurora theater, but neither do you. He never released his reasoning for why he went to that specific theater.
It is the most logical, it was not the closest and not the biggest and the only one that was a gun free zone...occam's razor

Instead of actually supplying facts to back up your argument, you instead argue your opinion as fact.
It is based on facts...Are you saying that the theater he picked was not a gun free zone?

Are you saying it was not the nearest one or the biggest one as he scouted before?

Quote:
I know you are for getting rid of gun free zones, and I honestly have no problem with that, but you could make that case without lying.
How have I lied?

You have no evidence to support your claim that any of the mass shooting locations were selected because they were gun free zones.
Gun Free Zones Or Killing Zones

Yeah no Wendell, We have the right to keep and bear arms, and if you don`t like you can leave this nation.

We dont have a system of checks and balances. We have all powerful court that has no check to its power, any law Congress passes to limit their power they can just over turn. How do you not see this?

You do have the individual right to keep and bear arms but society has the right to place reasonable restrictions on those firearms and the people who own them. The highest court in the land has affirmed both options as a right guaranteed by the constitution.

Please make the case for "Gun Free Zones".

There are about 60 million households with families who have declared their domain and property a gun free zone. What other justification do you need?

How do you not see that that is the government framework the founding fathers created for us to abide by. There are 5 conservatives and 4 liberals on the court. When Hillary get's elected, there will be 6 liberals and 3 conservatives.

You're 23 years old and seem to have all the answers. There are many on this site who are over three times your age and have lived through so many more turbulent times in our nations history and have experienced the political pendulum swing in a very wide arc, yet you dismiss their experiences as so much blather.
