The father of modern mass school shootings
Flopping Aces ^ | 02-19-18 | DrJohn

In 1990 the Gun Free Zones Act was introduced

The Gun-Free School Zones Act (GFSZA) is an act of the U.S. Congress prohibiting any unauthorized individual from knowingly possessing a loaded or unsecured firearm at a place that the individual knows, or has reasonable cause to believe, is a school zone as defined by 18 U.S.C. § 921(a)(25). The law applies to public, private, and parochial elementary schools and high schools, and to non-private property within 1000 feet of them. It provides that the states and their political subdivisions may issue licenses that exempt the licensed individuals from the prohibition.
It was introduced by Joe Biden. It has had an effect on the number of mass school shootings- not a good one. Here is a breakdown of school shootings over time.

Prior to Gun Free Zone Act

After the Gun Free Zone Act There's more
On October 9, the Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC) released a revised report showing that 92% of mass public shootings between January 2009 and July 2014 took place in gun-free zones.
The number of school shootings in the aftermath of the Gun Free Zone Act has skyrocketed. It doesn't take a genius to understand why.

Biden is an idiot in pretty much every way one can be an idiot.

I think you can also see or make the case for a correlation starting in the 1950’s that as God and Christianity was pushed more out of the public square, the number of shooting took place. Also, do these numbers include the “shootings” that were debunked from the 18 school shootings this year report?

The number of Red Flags that Creepy Uncle Joe Biden raises about his suitability as President should cast away any thoughts that he should run for President. Of course, he should run for President because President Trump would win by a landslide. Imagine President Trump’s campaign rallies. I would be eating lots of popcorn watching them on You Tube.

Biden is not stupid; he is evil.
Specifically, Biden is an evil clown.

I think you could also make the argument the 1960s saw the abandonment of the mental institutions in this country.

It would also be interesting to chart as a comparison, the introduction of the psychotropic drugs.

I thought the 18 figure was grossly exaggerated due to counting any shooting at a school....accidental discharge, suicides, windows shot out off school hours without injury etc.

He can be both, they are not mutually exclusive attributes.

Also, When Jesus was ‘welcome’ on the Town Square over the Christmas Holidays pickups were more often than not seen with a rifle hanging from the overhead, visible through the rear window. Of course not EVERY housewife etal drove a pickup, chances pretty good would never be in one unless HUBBY had to drive one for work.
Oh yes, Church doors were unlocked 24/7 in most communities.
You could always stop in for a quick prayer no matter what your persuasion - God didn’t mind, he liked having company.

OH chances are pretty good that truck was unlocked and NOBODY would have an inclination to steal it — for the most part, yes there were stolen cars then but .....

People would fly and take their weapon with them.

Couple things happened on the way to the forum....

People started hijacking planes to CUBA and it definitely(sarc) was the cause of all the law abiding citizens carrying guns SO airplanes stopped guns BUT moved the NO SMOKING aisle forward ...

People started complaining about ‘Baby Jesus’ in public and to go along with everything, ‘Christmas was suddenly XMAS’

Then things started going downhill long about the time Rock Hudson was to be ‘outed’ and Rory Calhoun was offered up as the sacrificial lamb.(But that is for another day)

And also orphanages. Now parentless kids are shunted off to foster families which many, or may not, have firm structures.

Don’t forget that G. H. W. Bush signed the piece of garbage into law.

Take down the ‘Gun Free School Zone’ signs and destroy them. Arm the school administration and teach them to shoot. Then count the number of school shootings. They have to protect our children. Give them the tools to do so and ignore the liberals who have nothing to add but ‘Gun Control’ talk.

So essentially these school shooters know that a gun free zone means they can kill without fear of being shot and kill a lot of kids.

You piqued my curiosity with the Rory Calhoun reference. I looked him up on Wikipedia but found nothing. What did you mean by sacrificial lamb?
