I 'm a CCW permit holder. I frequently go to the VA Hospital in Tampa - a gun free zone. It gets very hot here, and people wear shorts & T-shirts. A concealed gun would easily "print' through their clothing.Lol your own source defines “gun free zones” in part as fucking businesses who say they don’t allow them. Meaning, there is no legal consequences for carrying the gun there. Here is the statistic that would matter: how many mass shootings take place in areas where it is illegal to have a gun? I’m sure that would seriously reduce the numbers. Hell, it doesn’t count for shit anyway. Concealed gun owners do whatever the fuck they want. You think they care about “gun free zones”? Those 2nd amendment enthusiasts? No way.
It doesn't become a mass shooting if they are effectively engaged by an armed defender before the death toll reaches at least 4 dead.Lol trust me dude I did notice how pretty much all of these relate to an intruder in someone’s home. How stupid are you? Why would anyone claim that guns aren’t effective in home intrusions. Two of these was goddamn robberies. Obviously I said mass shootings. Your first paragraph is so goddamn dubious too. Thousands of people? lol that is absolute bullshit.
If you want to make an intelligent argument about this perhaps you can explain how the good guy with a gun narrative does not apply to 99% of all mass shootings. We have had over 200 mass shootings this year alone. None of them involved a guy with a gun stopping them.
Left lies non-stop. Ho hum. Yawn****That's an outright lie, throwing gang shootouts in with actual mass shootings.
Norm, rather than exception.Left lies non-stop. Ho hum. Yawn****
By being in control over the police , you idiot. How do you think traffic blocking occurs without the blockers being arrested ?How exactly do MAYORS have control over violence in their cities? Go ahead. I’ll wait.
The mayor and council members set tax rates, make city policy/ordinances, and control the PD's you idiot.How exactly do MAYORS have control over violence in their cities? Go ahead. I’ll wait.
Of course it works as these cowards almost always attack soft targets.Don’t let the left tell you eliminating GUN FREE ZONES does not work, because it does.
Almost 500 pages of such stories at the NRA-ILA "Armed Citizen" site.From that, what we know is that the leftwing media has got you programmed to the hilt. If it were not for the good guys with a gun, thousands of people would have been massacred at 1) LAX (2002) by Hesham Mohamed Hadayet, 2) Alton Nolen in Moore, OK, 3) Elton Simpson and Nadir Soofi in Garland, TX.
4) In 2007, former cop and volunteer security worker, Jeanne Assam, saved the day at New Life Church in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Thousands of people were exiting from Sunday mass that day as the shooter opened fire. However, Assam ran toward the line of fire, killing the shooter and saving countless lives.
5) A knife-wielding intruder was attempting to enter Sarah McKinley's mobile home shortly after her husband died of lung cancer in 2012. After breaking in, McKinley fired, killing one suspect and scaring the other intruder off.
6) A 71-year-old man saved the lives of many at an internet cafe in Florida in 2012. When robbers entered the cafe with weapons, Samuel Williams pulled out his gun and scared off the suspects.
7)A 69-year-old grandmother protected herself and her home in Alabama in 2010. After hearing a burglar break into her house, Ethel Jones fired three shots, wounding and scaring off the intruder, who was later arrested by police.
8) In 2012, a 14-year-old boy saved himself and his younger siblings after an armed intruder entered their home. After breaking into the home and pointing a gun at the 14, 12, and 8-year-olds, the 14-year-old fired, placing the intruder in the hospital and saving his family.
9) A pregnant mother of two saved herself and her children after two intruders entered her home in Ashtabula, Ohio. After refusing to let the two intruders in, they broke down her back door. As they proceeded up her stairs, the shot at them, hitting one intruder and scaring them both off until police arrived.
10) A would-be robber was shot in 2006 by an employee at Media Madhouse in Indiana. After the suspect entered the building holding a gun on an employee and demanding money, a second employee jumped into action and shot the suspect, saving both employees and customers.
11) 72-year-old Jan Cooper saved her life and the life of her 85-year-old World War II veteran husband, who is confined to a wheelchair. In 2013, a man was breaking into the Cooper's Southern California home, when the grandmother fired one shot from her .357 Magnum Smith and Wesson revolver, which scared the burglar off.
12) In 2013, a shooter opened fire at Prince Middle School in Atlanta, Georgia. However, after wounding only one student, the suspect was disarmed by an armed guard who was stationed at the school.
And when the good guys with guns were NOT there ? Here's what happened >>
1. Sandy Hook
2. Parkland massacre
3. Uvalde massacre
4. Aurora, Colorado movie theater shooting
5. Pulse Club
6. Columbine massacre
7. San Bernardino massacre

Gun control works for genocidal tyrants and governmentsCalifornia is a shining example of success for curbing gun violence with gun control legislation. It doesn’t come from one specific policy - but a combination of several.
“For the last 20, maybe even 25 years — except for the two years of the pandemic, which have increased homicides and suicides across the country — our rates of firearm violence have trended downward,” said Wintemute, who directs the Violence Prevention Research Program at the University of California, Davis, Medical Center in Sacramento. “And this has been at a time when most of the rates in the rest of the country have gone up.”
California’s rate of firearm mortality is among the nation’s lowest, with 8.5 gun deaths per 100,000 people in 2020, compared with 13.7 per 100,000 nationally and 14.2 per 100,000 in Texas, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has reported. And Californians are about 25% less likely to die in mass shootings, compared with residents of other states, according to a recent Public Policy Institute of California analysis.
….California has done a lot to prevent high-risk people from purchasing firearms. We’ve broadened the criteria for keeping guns out of the hands of people who pose a danger to themselves or others due to mental illness. If you’re convicted of a violent misdemeanor in California, you can’t have a gun for the next 10 years; that offense has to be a felony in most states….
….We require background checks, and not just from licensed retailers; in most states, purchases from private parties require no background checks or record keeping of any kind. We have a system, that we’re evaluating now, for getting guns back from “prohibited persons” — people who have been convicted of violent crimes or who are facing domestic violence restraining orders. And we enforce these policies, unlike a lot of other states.
California Has America's Toughest Gun Laws, and They Work

no prominent dems have condemned Bidens remark about Americans not needing 9 mm.Dems never talk about banning all guns. You just pretend we do because the nuance of gun control policy is too complicated I guess lol

Crime all over the country has gone up during the pandemic. In any other years, their gun violence rate has gone down.
LAâs Rising Crime Has Angelenos on Edge
Los Angeles residents have the bleakest view of any region in California about rising crime rates.
Kalifornia is #1 in strict gun control laws and has the second most gun deaths.Crime all over the country has gone up during the pandemic. In any other years, their gun violence rate has gone down.
i didnt know that one of the symptoms of covid is the desire to be violent ... headache ,fever, loss of taste and smell ,and violent tendencies ?? Gun violence hits 15-year high in L.A., taking lives and erasing hard-fought gainsCrime all over the country has gone up during the pandemic. In any other years, their gun violence rate has gone down.
And the hysterical responses show why gun "control" will never work in the US. And I don't think ten gopers will support comprehensive (excluding in the family transfers) back ground checks. There are enough AR-15s in the US to equip the army, marines, af and national guards ... so forget about doing what Australia and NZ didCalifornia is a shining example of success for curbing gun violence with gun control legislation.
