Gun free zones are where most of the mass shootings occur. Well over 90 percent.
And in states with lower than average rates of gun ownership as well.
“Gun free zones” tend to be soft targets, if they’re not visibly protected by armed guards.
Any predator, animal or human, will go after easier prey.
Combine that with the propaganda that comes when a terrorist organization murders children, or unarmed concert goers.

How can they possibly evaluate this fairly? There are multitudes more places where guns are allowed (or not banned in any case) than there are “gun free” zones.

Circa 1966. I was in high school and I and friends would often hunt after school was out. We had shotguns in our pickups. The cops knew this, and the principal knew this. They knew this because you could see the shotgun in the gun rack. These weapons were never used in an illegal fashion. My weapon was a single barrel 20 gauge from Sears and Roebuck. That weapon has taken much rabbit and birds.
Sadly times have changed for the worse.
1964, when I started High School I joined the California Cadet Corps (sponsored by the USMC), we had our own indoor range for small bore rifle (22) and were bused about 10 blocks for our large bore rifle (30-06 1903 Springfield) practice.
Bearing in mind, this was California, my how times have changed.
