[[why not begin designating some as gun free communities?]]

Why not? Because NOONE has a constitutional right to deny ANYONE their constitutionmal rights- that’s why not

What a great idea.

After all, Every municipal and federal housing project is a gun free zone. And we all know how well that’s working out.

No, it’s not a sensible solution. It’s a stupid idea.

Excellent idea....but falls short...

As well as being gun free...they need to expand to include: knives, bats, lugwrench, tire iron, slipperly surfaces, sharp corners on furniture, and of course mommas favorite....the iron frying pan...

What nonsense. Gun free zones are an open invitation to CRIMINALS who DON”T comply withe law! But, they WILL comply with someone pointing a loaded gun at them.

Instead of blathering about gun free zones, why not do what the Swiss do? Here is some info I downloaded from the BBC:

“Guns are deeply rooted within Swiss culture - but the gun crime rate is so low that statistics are not even kept. The country has a population of six million, but there are estimated to be at least two million publicly-owned firearms, including about 600,000 automatic rifles and 500,000 pistols.

This is in a very large part due to Switzerland’s unique system of national defence, developed over the centuries.

Instead of a standing, full-time army, the country requires every man to undergo some form of military training for a few days or weeks a year throughout most of their lives.

Between the ages of 21 and 32 men serve as frontline troops. They are given an M-57 assault rifle and 24 rounds of ammunition which they are required to keep at home.

Once discharged, men serve in the Swiss equivalent of the US National Guard, but still have to train occasionally and are given bolt rifles. Women do not have to own firearms, but are encouraged to.”

This makes more sense to me. If you and your neighbors know who has the gun and the ammo, and you know that all men have received some level of military training, it tends to make the criminals more circumspect.

IOW (to borrow a line from “Dirty Harry”) do they feel lucky today??

You might like this.


Very well stated.
The United States Citizens KNOW that they're going to have to fight TYRANTS in their own government.
You cannot protect life, without the ability to take life.

While you are WAITING for the police to respond, someone could be losing their life.
All people of a responsible age should be armed.

As EternalVigilance reminded us:

Let us NEVER FORGET THAT !

Let's subjugate them to OUR end game, DUST!
"COMPROMISE" is a DIRTY word!
People who study the Bible know that COMPROMISE almost always leads to destruction.


It's time to mock the "Gun Control" Zombies!
"Gun Control" is a firm grip, steady breathing, accurate aim (developed by lots of practice), and a slow trigger pull.


The Swiss have got it CORRECT !
We need to learn from the Swiss and implement their "gun control measures" here in the United States right now, today!
These laws are the ones we should shove into the "2nd Amendment Haters" faces.

The Swiss have got it CORRECT !
Let's adopt THEIR LAWS !

Remember: Read Second Amendment: It’s Not About Hunting, IT'S ABOUT TYRANNY .

Not only that, but make sure there are at least 8 large neon signs that advertise “Gun Free” in all possible directions to approach such community.

The residents can then focus on contemplating evolving / ascending to a ‘better being’.

Wouldn’t work. The liberals will simply surround themselves with high fences and guard monitored gates that open only for residents. Practically no one would get in. If you want to prove something, make the gun grabbing liberals move into the bad sections of town and display their gun free zone signs.

Makes sense to me. After Katrina, when N.O. was confiscating weapons, us folks in MS were carrying ours on our hips and when cops 9local or imported) cruised our neighborhoods and saw the weapons, they knew they didn’t have to waste a lot of time in our area and could look for those that needed protection against looters...Florida State Trooper paused and watched me put up a “Looters will be shot” sign at the entrance to our road, noted the .357 on my hip, touched the brim of his hat and drove off.

Looks like an incrementalist plan from the left. It won’t happen that way. The fascist filth—much more recently descended from Europe than most of us—oozes from those few states and communities to our whole country, defiling it.
