Are you saying that the legal conceal carry contingent are so discouraged about carrying guns in free zones that they follow the law to the T? Do you also mean that they're so scared about getting caught with their piece in these no-gun zones there that they're reluctant to save their lives and other people's lives?
You just said those zones do nothing of the sort, so I think not. You can't say both and be serious.
Second, I didn't even mention solutions? No, I didn't. So what you said was irrelevant, a complete straw man. Argue against what I said, not what you think I'm saying.
Why don't you make a proposal that will work? In fact, it's in your interests to do that, because the public opinion always turns rather decisively toward the safety of children. Parents get irrational when they perceive their children are threatened, and if these shootings keep up, they're not going to care soon what the Constitution says about it. If things continue, within a decade, the remaining progunners are going to have a solution imposed on them whether it works or not. Has the War on Drugs worked yet? Has it been repealed yet? How do you like that idea?
By the way, the stats are in. The states with gun control laws do have a lower rate of gun deaths. This is indicative, not proof, but it looks exclusionary zones do work, just not perfectly.
