(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Sadly, mass shootings are a thing in our society. However, far too many people are far too quick to place the blame on the gun, instead of the person responsible. We blame drunk drivers for crashing and killing people, bombers for creating bombs that kill people, and stabbers for stabbing someone...but yet when it comes to guns, we blame the gun and try to ban or restrict them. Today's mass shooting, like every other recent high profile mass shooting, took place in a so called "gun free zone" where it is posted by the owners that guns are not allowed. Here's the problem. CRIMINALS DON'T OBEY THE FUCKING LAW. So by posting up a facility as a gun free zone, all you are doing is making it an extremely easy target for someone planning something nefarious, since most law abiding citizens won't bring a gun into the gfz. Yet, look up at the times where someone with a gun stopped someone else who had opened fire. You don't hear about them, because they never had a chance to become a mass shooting since a good guy with a gun stopped the bad guy with the gun before he could do serious damage. Point and case: Gun control doesn't work, and gun free zones are like big painted targets for mass shooters. Now, I'm not so bad as to say we shouldn't have background checks, but instead of our government trying to institute MORE background checks and other restrictions like standard capacity magazine bans, Modern Sporting Rifle (omg it's a gun but it looks extra scary, lets ban it) etc. why not actually fix and enforce the current laws on the books? The current National Instant Check System should do the job, but being a government handled entity, it has it's failure. Fix that and enforce other laws instead of trying to take away the rights of millions of law abiding gun owners.


Rant Over.

Predators like when their prey is unarmed. They target "gun free zones". This is all a plan by our corrupt leaders. In the next 30 years the United States will no longer be "free". Instead we will live under martial law. Completely owned by our government more than we already are. They are trying to stop us gun owners from being able to revolt down the road.

Message to our leaders, you mess with the bull you get the horns.

I am having issues understanding, how this is protecting citizens. I don't know about the statistics regarding this though, but have there been many episodes where having a gun home helped? When people break into your house, it's usually when you are not home.

There are no country in the world, that has this many school shootings a year that USA has.

I don't think removing weapons would help anything, because USA is massive and removing all of them is mission impossible. Should of been done years ago.

Looks like anyone is capable of getting weapons too, most of the ones that did the school shootings where psycho's.

do you only focus on school shootings? what about shooting that happen elsewhere in other countries?
