GUN FREE ZONES: Hazardous to Your Health
We can’t change our past. But we can help save our future.
WATCH this Gun Owners of America- produced SHORT FILM on “gun free zones”
Americans have been lulled into thinking that a three-word sign will cover them with a sort of virtual armor. The frightening thing is that people believe the sign has physical powers, and actual protective properties.
GUN-FREE ZONE.
The big problem is, this is the last place one should ever feel safe.
Why? Because the very premise of a gun-free zone is not just based on a lie, but a damned, dangerous one. People are led like sheep to believe that being in a gun-free zone is safer, than say – a place where someone is permitted to carry a concealed weapon.
If one person had been armed in Orlando. Would more people be dead – or fewer?
If one person had been armed in San Bernardino. Would more people be dead – or fewer?
If one teacher or parent had been armed at Newtown. Would more children be dead – or fewer?
This is the real world, people! This is the world where “gun-free zones” are centered on the absolute, and voluntary willingness of a criminal to heed the law – on someone who is ready and willing to commit an awful act to have a sudden attack of conscience! As much as the American left wants to arrogantly believe that one of their bleeding heart progressive laws will sway an executioner in a club or theater from a killing spree – it won’t.
At the risk of being redundant – or obvious, the only people who will obey the law are people who already obey the law. Pretty dang simplistic, eh?
The biggest lie in the gun control debate is that people who disrespect the law will curiously and abruptly begin to respect it. This makes no sense whatsoever. Gun laws have done nothing to curb Chicago’s crime infestation; in the first few months of 2016, murder is up over 70% and shootings have swelled more than 88%.
Maybe we should just outlaw murder. Or rape. Or terrorism. Sadly, we already know what the law breakers think of these ideas.
We can’t change our past. But we can help save our future.
