    Gun Free Zones

    What do felons think about an armed citizenry? A survey of convicted felons by the National Institute of Justice found 74 percent of the felons agreed that, "One reason burglars avoid houses when people are home is that they fear being shot during the crime." The survey also asked these felons whether they had abandoned at least one crime because they feared the intended victim might be armed. Thirty-nine percent said they abandoned at least one crime; 8 percent had abandoned such a crime "many" times; 34 percent admitted being "scared off, shot at, wounded, or captured by an armed victim"; and nearly 70 percent knew a "colleague" who had abandoned a crime, been scared off, been shot at, wounded or captured by a victim packing heat.

    A survey of 23,113 police chiefs and sheriffs across the country found that 62 percent of these top cops agreed that "a national concealed handgun permit would reduce rates of violent crime." About 80 percent of rank-and-file police officers, according to polls, support the right of trained citizens to carry concealed weapons.

    Israel gets it. Since the 1970s, on school campuses in Israel, policy requires teachers and parent aides to arm themselves with semi-automatic weapons. The result? School shootings have plummeted to zero.

    A while back they had a episode of "The Man's Show" where they set up a table in a public place with a with a petition to "End Women's Suffrage".

    So, what we could do is have a petition for "Free Gun Zones". And have signs stating that we wanted "Free Gun Zones" around schools so children didn't become victims.

    "Free Gun Zones" would of course be areas where citizens could come to obtain firearms at state expense.

    We'd finally have an acceptable use of taxpayer dollars that also made an effective impact on crime rates.
    NO! Wait, we can't have that! No way! :rolleyes:
