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 |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
