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 |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
