‘Gun free zones’ are the problem

Published 11:25 am Sunday, October 4, 2015

Well, here we go again. Another murderous rampage in — you guessed it — another gun-free zone. Just like shooting fish in a barrel. When will we learn? Has anybody wondered why these things never happen in places where guns are allowed or even encouraged? Because the shooters plan it that way — they don’t want to be stopped by someone that has the ability to stop them. The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. Eliminate “gun free zones” and you will see a dramatic drop in mass shootings. Arm the teachers, arm the security guards, arm yourselves. Don’t be a sitting duck. One definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different outcomes. Do something different.
