You don't really need to go any further than that, really.
Gun free zones are just another incremental way to move toward total control. The idea is simple: make an example of a place where guns are not allowed, with no rational reason other than “we do not tolerated armed citizens *here*” . This lends legitimacy to the thought that citizens with guns are a bad thing, and the idea that more such zones should be created and encouraged. Havn’t we all heard a variant of “If we do not allow guns in (school, legislature, church) then we certainly should not allow them in (school, legislature, church, parking lot, mall, store, DC.)
Gun free zones are designed to grow and spread, like small pox.
The other purpose of gun free zones is to make carrying a gun as uncomfortable, legaly dangerous, and impractical as possible. Look at any map that shows the impact of the insane “Gun Free School Zone” act of 1996. In any urban area, it becomes impossible to conduct business in a normal manner while carrying a gun that is not licensed in that state, without breaking the law.
Neither of these clear purposes is discussed openly by those who detest free citizens and fear the power that they gain from carrying guns, and the independent mindset that it fosters.
The left is based on lies, derives its power from lies, and cannot exist when its lies are exposed.
Control of the masses and consolidation of power are their main concerns. No one can convince me that my safety is enhanced by dis-arming me at a mall, city park, college campus or local bank.
These people want to bring the era of the armed citizen to an end, with promises of government sponsored (and enforced) utopia. I'm not buying what they are selling.

I spent a while last night doing a refresher course with my wife to keep her current in the operation of several of our firearms. She carries a old Browning Belgique .32 or a Taurus 9MM Slim, but really likes the AK because of the way it inspires a sense of safety with the 30 round mag and the solid "kachink" when chambering a round. I'd hate to try to storm our place with her in defense mode...

It’s rarely about guns; it’s always about control. If the population starts walking around feeling competent, capable and sovereign they’ll be that much harder to herd
Gun Free Zones, aka Killing fields........I’ve been saying it for years......can’t seem to get any of the powers that be to grasp that simple concept.
Too bad. The law is in effect right now, as of December 1st. They have no jurisdiction to pass such an ordinance. Period.
Here is the section of law they are complaining about:
"§ 14-415.23. Statewide uniformity. It is the intent of the General Assembly to prescribe a uniform system for the regulation of legally carrying a concealed handgun. To insure uniformity, no political subdivisions, boards, or agencies of the State nor any county, city, municipality, municipal corporation, town, township, village, nor any department or agency thereof, may enact ordinances, rules, or regulations concerning legally carrying a concealed handgun... A unit of local government may adopt an ordinance to prohibit, by posting, the carrying of a concealed handgun on municipal and county recreational facilities , ... (it) includes only the following: a playground, an athletic field, a swimming pool, and an athletic facility."
Truly AWESOME spot-on post!!!
The ugly truth is that gun free zones are not about irrational dreams of safety. They certainly are about power and control. The irrational spouting about safety is just a way to get emotional support from those who don’t really think about the issue.

Excellent points.
Self-defense denial zones are akin to the ban on certain weaponry based primarily on their appearance [The Scary-Looking weapons ban – AWB]
Again, it’s a case where the Socialists in the Nation’s capitol and elsewhere wanting to marginalize and divide the gun owning community.
