This feature appears in the April ‘17 issue of NRA America’s 1st Freedom, one of the official journals of the National Rifle Association. I’m no expert on so-called “gun-free” zones. In fact, I leave that title to researcher and author John Lott, who you will find answering several questions on this very important topic this Thursday. |

Folks on the left have a severe disconnect from reality, basing much of their policy on how they'd like things to be rather than how things ARE...
This leads to policy statements like:
.
We can prevent shootings in given areas by posting signs prohibiting firearms.
.
We can declare ourselves female even though we have a penis and are genetically male.
.
We can proclaim a "right" to have somebody else work on our behalf and collect welfare, while at the same time decrying slavery.
.
We can pass laws preventing cruelty to animals, causing them any pain at all, but would never interfere with a mother's "right" to have her unborn child dismembered and pulled, in pieces, from her womb.
.
We can read the 2nd Amendment to ban your right to arms.

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
