Anti gunners claim that mass shooters do not choose targets based on gun free zones...because most of the time they have a connection to the shooting site...a school, a job....or a place of grievance.....but that is lazy thinking or out right deception....those places are gun free zones already...no choice is needed to be made since they are already gun free zones...
But....when the mass shooter is just picking a target without a connection to it......they actually choose gun free zones.....how do we know...at least 5 mass shooters have given notice before their attacks in their diaries or videos they made or in confessions to police...
The colorado theater shooter is covered here....

Notes on the James Holmes Batman Movie Theater Shooting case: Maximize killing and Deterrence matters for these mass killers
This past week we finally got a look at the diary of the Batman movie theater killer, James Holmes, and it was clear that he was considering both attacking an airport and a movie theater. But he turned down the airport option because he was concerned about their āsubstantial security.ā
While Holmesā diary was no where near as detailed as Elliot Rodgerās, the Santa Barbara killer from last year, it still shows that he was concerned about avoiding people who might stop his attack.
Dr. William Reid, a state-appointed psychiatrist who performed Holmesā sanity evaluation, had these comments:
ā āReid said the gunman picked a show in the movie theater that was going to be packedā
ā āHolmes said he looked at what other mass killers did but didnāt compare it. He said he just learned from what they did ā specifically, ādonāt shoot police or they will kill you.'ā
