It's your team that uses this flawed argument. Now, of course TS can clean it up and point out that it really refers to "mass shootings," but that's not what you guys often say.<br /><br />The point is what japete said the other day, crazy gun nuts don't consider whether it's a gun free zone or not.

Have they not said it enough? They have been telling you that “mass murders”- as in the ones where a killer is allowed to freely kill as many people as he can (until someone with a gun shows up) happen in gun free zone. In these cases, a good guy with the gun stopped the shooter in short order, which confirms their point.<br /><br />Personally, I have never liked the point about stopping mass killers (although valid to date) because I don’t think CCW should be seen as public protection, but rather personal protection only.TSnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-57399947283703282032010-12-27T18:23:22.731+01:002010-12-27T18:23:22.731+01:00As I've said before, anecdotal evidence doesn&...As I've said before, anecdotal evidence doesn't really prove anything, Mike. It proves even less when it doesn't even address the topic at hand. Kind of like when you post examples of shootings by PROHIBITED PURCHASERS as "proof" that 10% of us gun guys are hidden criminals.Colinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04410036643192254380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-34201798255439256302010-12-27T17:32:59.126+01:002010-12-27T17:32:59.126+01:00A gun free zone anywhere is like a drunk driving f...A gun free zone anywhere is like a drunk driving free highway. I get a kick out of the signs at the local VA hospital declaring the VA is a firearm free area. In some aspects, guns in America are like nuclear weapons.

Ever hear of "suicide by cop?"<br /><br />They're not mass murders, which <i>do</i> overwhelmingly (although not quite exclusively--personally know of one police station shooting with a body count greater than four) occur in gun-free zones.<br /><br />The real question is does the "proliferation" of weapons in these environments turn potential mass murders into mere shootings?Van Dykehttp://www.shockya.com/news/wp-content/uploads/jeff_bridges_true_grit_coen1.jpgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-22846788713457521942010-12-27T09:20:29.819+01:002010-12-27T09:20:29.819+01:00And how many cops were killed in those 3 examples?...And how many cops were killed in those 3 examples?<br /><br />Ah yes, zero.kavemannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-58174457007875827612010-12-27T08:31:07.088+01:002010-12-27T08:31:07.088+01:00A police station is a "Gun Free Zone".
