Gun Free / Logic Free

   Since the Gun-Free Schools Act was signed by Clinton in 1995, the rate and intensity of mass killings has skyrocketed.
I can only directly speak for Illinois, but "gun free zones" are not only at schools now but seem to be everywhere. I also refer to them as logic free zones, because I've never heard anyone logically defend them. It's illogical to announce to the world that "everyone is helpless here". I see them almost every time I go out, schools, libraries and hospitals, they have the familiar picture of a gun with a red line through it. Lets be honest, these signs are designed to make people feel good and feel safe, but a sign would ever stop a determined individual. If you ask anyone the purpose of these signs you will most likely get an answer involving safety, they are to keep us safe. Is this logical? From my perspective it is not about logic. "gun free zones" are about feelings and emotions. They are aimed at the good guys, the people who obey the law. These signs will never stop a criminal who wants to do harm. So essentially these signs assure that only the bad guys will have guns. These signs are ridiculous, unconstitutional and have the potential to cause more harm than good. With the 2014 new year, qualified citizens are now allowed to conceal/ carry a firearm in Illinois. If someone is legally allowed to carry a gun, then the gun should be allowed anywhere. The bottom line is that anywhere a criminal can have a gun, I should have one too. I hear the argument sometimes that we are not in the "wild west" anymore. However, good guys with guns did not start the wild west, the wild west started when maniacs started shooting at our school kids, it's up to us to finish it. Because when seconds count, the police are minutes away. That's all I have to say about that.-BDB (Google Images)
