"Gun Free Zones" are responsible for more deaths than the plague.

The wackos at Columbine specifically targeted their school BECAUSE it was a "gun free zone".

Cho chose to proceed with his rampage because he knew that no one would stop him.

The Major at Ft Bragg chose a "Gun free zone" on base.

I could go on and on and on.

These cowards do not want to be shot back at before they do their damage.

Get rid of "gun free zones" and you will eliminate the slaughter.

After all, the only ones who DON'T respect the signs are the wackos.

So what do you propose we do?

Let's see here.....how to describe the above quoted post:


Pathetic
Laughable
Asinine

That'll do for starters.


This was an accident. What do you suppose someone could do intentionally? Should we ban cars because they're too dangerous?

Firearms are always dangerous. That's why you always assume that they're loaded.
Nice deflection. I love it when people pretend they actually know about the topic at hand. Nice work.

ON this topic I agree with alphamale and all the rest.

NEVER, NEVER count on your assailents good intentions to save your life.

BE alert, be aware and be armed.

My biggest concern about having someone break into my house when I am at home is washing down the walls afterward.

Had to rep you!

Better to wash the blood of the criminal off your walls than that of a loved one.

Everyone, please turn away, as I am going to have projectile vomiting over this senseless ill-informed drivel.

Exactly. People need to realize that the highest crime rate areas are those with the strictest gun laws.

The wackos at Columbine specifically targeted their school BECAUSE it was a "gun free zone".

Cho chose to proceed with his rampage because he knew that no one would stop him.

If you know that no one will shoot back, it is a free-for-all.

The Major at Ft Bragg chose a "Gun free zone" on base.

I could go on and on and on.

Sort of like the 'Willie Sutton' syndrome.

Get rid of "gun free zones" and you will eliminate the slaughter.

Damn! I couldn't agree more.

After all, the only ones who DON'T respect the signs are the wackos.
