No one seems to figure out all of these shootings have happened in GFZs---sounds like the county is committing reckless endangerment by creating a GFZ--because that is where all the shootings are happening.

Seems this could be turned into an opportunity to discourage GFZ's if a lawsuit were filed. Well, might seem silly, but that's how the libs operate, why not turn it around on them? Yeah, I know it takes a pot of FRN's, but maybe not if one could find a pro RKBA attorney to do it pro bono or better yet an RKBA org to ante up?

Just a wild and crazy idea. I get so tired of the supposed 'protected nature' of a GFZ... or should it be called a ViDZ -Victim Disarmament Zone?

I've been saying for a while that the families of the victims of the Virginia Tech incident should sue the school for banning guns, which was a negligent and/or reckless act that led to the deaths.

Imp, I agree 100%, and have posted in similar vein else where on this forum in the past. Sadly ,the devil's advocates here have pointed out that the students were free to go to school elsewhere, or abide by school rules. Outrageous crap,sure, but surely symptomatic of the way in which property rights trump basic human rights in our society today. I have NEVER been able to figure out how rendering folks defenceless makes them safer!

TrueBrit,+1. I still can't see how these folks see that putting a "law" into place that bans law-abiding citizens from having a gun, will solve the threat of a "mass-shooting" or any other type of crime from occuring. It makes me nuts to keep hearing this from these people. when will they relealize that Bad Guys don't follow the law? AARGH!!

(I still had a great time in yourhomeland, last month! Keep telling lots of fun stories)

The thing is, though, these bans don't just not prevent mass shootings from occurring. They encourage mass shootings through ensuring the intended victims are unarmed. That's the basis I'd like to use to take civil action...

Fellers, I am cynical enough to believe that these atrocities are like MANNA FROM HEAVEN to the gun grabbers. They NEED these tragedies so that they can dance in the blood of the slain, and demand ever more stringent gun regulation. The college ninjas would mostly be out of a job if all of the students packed defensive weaponry, and this holds good for most of the alphabet soup LE agencies, if more folks took responsibility for their own safety. All about job security, really.

No one would like to see the VT poo bahs get hammered into oblivion with BIG lawsuits more than I would. We can only hope....

Naturally. Just like how if the NRA succeeded in granting full, uninfringed rights to keep and bear arms to the American people, they would no longer have a purpose and thus the organization would fold. But that's for another discussion... :lol:

Really, though, whenever I hear that there's been another murder in this area, which happens fairly often in the sh!thole known as Allentown, the first thing I think is, "God, I hope the attacker didn't use a gun."

In Ohio, we call them CPZs. Criminal Protection Zones. Anytime you hear somebody say safer on the subject of firearms, they're not finishing their sentences. They mean safer... for criminals.

ANYBODY who provides for the criminals should be treated as one and impeached for their high crime against their constituency.
