Arizona House Votes To Repeal Gun-Free School Zones

72. No one can, or should try, to explain how a ban can exclude all weapons

Guns Bans are not created to do that, as no onr believes that a magic curtain can be raised which would turn back the weapons of people intent on doing harm. Asking for an explaination on how that would work is just a specious as assuming that no one has ever been killed accidently by a firearm. Notice that I asked you if you supported that notion, I didn't state that you did.

I proposed no utopia, merely explained that bans are enacted to reduce the number of weapons in an area, as that undeniably will reduce the number of deaths and injuries by firearms in those areas. More weapons = more deaths (remember those idiots) The thought that I envision any sort of uptopia, is merely an assumption that you know what I am thinking. There's some irony there somewhere...

I believe that people should have rights to own weapons. they are tools that have their uses in their proper arenas. I own a chainsaw, but have never felt the need to bring that to a school or into a church either. I use that out in the woods, the same place where I use my firearms. I do not understand the need that some have to be constantly armed. Maybe I'm just overly optimistic (my friends would be laughing their asses off at that) or just live in a very safe area, but I feel no need to be armed in public.

If people were consistent enough to never make a mistake, never have an off day, we could all walk around armed to the gills and make the people bent on evil tremble in their shoes. But none of us are perfect. There are times and places for firearms, schools don't enter that picture.
