Some have a hard time accepting that criminals can be deterred from committing crimes. They don’t believe that potential mass shooters have second thoughts when faced with the prospect of armed citizens who can fight back. They seem to think that everyday Americans can’t help stop attacks.
But it is getting hard to ignore that mass public shooters keep choosing to attack locations where victims can’t defend themselves. It’s little wonder that gun-control advocates resort to desperate tactics.
There have been a series of articles from Politico, the Huffington Post, Slate, and the New York Daily News with similar titles meant to cast doubt on defensive gun use, such as “the myth of the good guy with the gun.”
Since at least 1950, all but two public mass shootings in America have taken place where general citizens are banned from carrying guns. In Europe, there have been no exceptions. Every mass public shooting — and there have been plenty of mass shooting in Europe — has occurred in a gun-free zone. In addition, they have had three of the six worst K–12 school shootings, and Europe experienced by far the worst mass public shooting perpetrated by a single individual (Norway in 2011, which from the shooting alone left 67 people dead and 110 wounded).

Will it convince any liberals?
MEH...
Those signs should be mandatory for liberal homes since they want it so bad.
Good article.

I scanned through the article in hope of him naming the two instances that were not gun free zones.
I’ve been asking this on a few different forums and all I can come up with is Tucson.
Anybody know the other?
Problem: There’s been a shooting at a gun-free zone (school).
Solution: more gun-free zones.
Problem:There’s been another shooting at a gun-free zone (church).
Solution: more gun-free zones.
Problem: There’s been another shooting at a gun-free zone and the shooter went to 3 places before finding a place that declared itself gun-free (movie theater).
Solution: more gun-free zones.

Does this mean we have lunatics in charge of our safety?
Yes.
CA....
Good idea.
Ever notice that the scolds who insist that all muslims should not be judged by the actions of a few lunatics are often the same ones insisting that all gun owners should be judged by the actions of a few lunatics?
These are also the same ying yangs who tell us homosexuals are born that way, but pedophiles can change.
They usually make this argument at sentencing and parole hearings while they make the “muslims—good!”/”guns—bad!” argument every day.
That's why I support Norm's solution.
Put liberals in cages and weld them shut.
Embrace Cage Theory.
“Lenhart’s Existential Cage Theory” An Idea whose time has come.
1: Get a cage
2: Put the Liberal in the cage
3: Weld the door shut
4: Walk away
It’s existential. Eventually if humanity wishes to continue to progress, we have to eradicate the mindset of liberalism. Churchill May have right in his day about retrograde forces but today, liberals are more of a threat than any muslim ever was. Or ever will be.
Muslims will simply kill. Liberals have turned the world into an idiocracy that ALLOWS muslims free reign to kill. And punishes any who oppose it.
Back in 1968, after the murder of Bobby Kennedy and the anti-gun hysteria that followed, some people actually turned their guns into the police, then claimed they lived in fear of their neighbors who still had guns.
Then there were those who placed signs in their windows...”THIS HOUSE IS NOT ARMED!” It didn’t last long.
