Shock: All But 2 Public Mass Shootings Since 1950 Have Occurred in “Gun-Free Zones”
Last Resistance ^ | Apr 5, 2014 | Philip Hodges

Put yourself in a criminal’s position. You feel like shooting and killing a bunch of people, and you want to be met with as little opposition as possible. If you go to a place that allows concealed carry, there’s a risk that someone could take you out before you start shooting, and that’s a risk you don’t want to take.

Naturally, you’d go to a place that has heavy restrictions on gun-carriers. That’ll pretty much guarantee that no one will be able to fight back, and you’d be able to shoot and kill as many as you want. And then you’d get your 15 minutes of fame when the media give you nonstop coverage. So, probably more than “15 minutes,” but, you know, it’s just an expression.

The subject of gun-free zones is up again, because of the shooting that took place at Ft. Hood the other day. Many have already commented that the shooting occurred in a gun-free zone. Most of them do for reasons described above.

These mass murderers were all mentally defective (and evil), but not so mentally defective that they couldn’t discern the difference between gun-free zones and others.

Next,someone gets wreaths, flowers, dolls and teddybears, if kids were shot, and sets up a makeshift memorial at the site of the shooting, then the candlelight vigil is organized, and the school/campus/shopping mall or wherever these tragedies take place is swarming with grief counselors, while political hacks do photo-ops at the scene calling for, ho hum, stricter gun laws, sometimes accompanied by some clueless celeb for star power, while the media is on the alert for any family members of the victims to come forward and bash the NRA. That's the SOP.

The left needs a certain level of violence in this country. They’re willing to accept a certain level of killing to advance their political agenda.

Concerning Constitutional soil, I wonder how many perps were dispatched on the second of potentially many kills.

No doubt. That’s why the Left neglects the mentally ill.

So you’re fairly safe unless you are in a “gun free” zone. One can see the usual unintended consequences of liberal thinking at work here.

...and almost every mass shooting ends on its own with no police confrontation with the perpetrator.

But, you do not need a firearm because we have law enforcement.

The US is 3rd in murders thru out the world! BUT, if you take out chicago, detroit washington dc and New Orleans, the US is 4th from the BOTTOM for murders.

Believe it or not, those 4 cities also have the toughest gun control laws in the US.

I've seen the numbers for this before. The data is in the UCR .

If you take out blacks and hispanics (which is difficult, because the government purposefully puts whites and hispanics together so you can't easily see what the realcrime rates among whites is, you'll find that this country is more law-abiding in amost all respects than just about any other nation on the planet. I think the swiss beat us out in some areas.

No, I just found it on Facebook and am not computer savvy enough to know how to trace it down.
