Gun-free zones create soft targets.
They mandate that law-abiding citizens disarm themselves and remove any meaningful way to defend their own life, or the lives of those around them. These policies don’t create safe places, they create targets.
There is a reason that we protect banks, airports, government buildings, and etc. with armed guards.
Unfortunately in most cases schools and universities, which have historically been the targets of mass shootings, have been declared gun-free zones.
Florida is aiming to change that.
The Gateway Pundit reported,
A new bill in Florida that has already cleared the Florida House would allow professors and other staffers at public universities to carry concealed weapons in case of an emergency.
Opponents of the bill cite all of the usual reasons for doing so, but having armed staff on college campuses would be smart.
This has a very good chance of passing because first, we’re talking about Florida, but also because of the horrific shooting at Brown University in Rhode Island a few months back.
The bill is being sponsored by Republican Rep. Michelle Salzman. Schools should be guarded by men with guns. It’s the most logical way to protect our students.
In 2013 under the Obama administration, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) ordered a study which found between 500,000 and 3,000,000 defensive uses of firearms every year.
For comparison in the same year, 2013, there were only 33,636 firearm related deaths with approximately half being suicides.
In the 2020’s the number of firearm related deaths has ranged from 40,000-50,000 gun related deaths annually again with around half being suicide.
An armed society is a polite society.
When law-abiding citizens are stripped of their constitutional right to defend themselves it simply empowers those who wish to do them harm.
