Typical regressive gas bag.
When you were out shooin' at some food did up from the ground come a bubblin' crude. Oil that is, Taxus tea.
So you don't have a safe space when you aren't armed? Sorry to hear it seriously. 65 million school children go to and from school every day without a weapon and they aren't terrified of all those shadows out there. Go figure.
Why do so many of them get killed in gun free zones?
Right. Let's weaponize elementary schools and make sure EVERYONE'S safe.
So why do so many of them get killed on gun free zones?
Among the 62 mass shootings over the last 30 years that we studied,
not a single case includes evidence that the killer chose to target a place because it banned guns. To the contrary, in many of the cases there was clearly another motive for the choice of location. For example, 20 were workplace shootings, most of which involved perpetrators who felt wronged by employers and colleagues.
Or consider the 12 school shootings we documented, in which all but one of the killers had personal ties to the school they struck. FBI investigators learned from one witness, for example, that the mass shooter in Newtown
had long been fixated on Sandy Hook Elementary School, which he'd once attended.
Proponents of this argument also ignore that the majority of mass shootings are murder-suicides. Thirty-six of the killers we studied
took their own lives at or near the crime scene, while seven others died in police shootouts they had no hope of surviving (a.k.a. "suicide by cop"). These were not people whose priority was identifying the safest place to attack.
