The tragic Fort Hood shooting this week reignited the debate over shootings in gun-free zones and whether gun-free zones are generally more prone to this kind of horrible violence. On Cashin’ In Saturday morning, Eric Bolling and Juan Williams tussled over mental health and the gun culture, with Williams saying, “I think we need America to be a gun-free zone.”
Jonathan Hoenig and Wayne Rogers agreed the problem is more about “seriously deranged people” as opposed to guns. Williams said, “I’m amused that you guys are so quick to run away from the easy availability of guns as having some responsibility for all of these tragedies.”
Michelle Fields said law-abiding gun owners shouldn’t be punished for what “a few crazy people did,” and Williams cried, “Who is punishing any gun owners?” Bolling brought up Williams’ comment about making America a gun-free zone, to which Williams said it’s never going to happen as long as the NRA keeps sidelining that conversation.
Fields and Williams battled over Fields’ assertion that Democrats “take advantage of these tragedies.” Williams challenged her to name one action Obama’s taken on guns, and Fields insisted “he would if he could!”

Juan Williams needs to try China.
What “easy availability of guns?”
There is always paperwork to submit and they are expensive as all get out.
I don’t see the NRA sidlining any conversation on guns.
The more they expose the gun grabbing to the people, the more people want to buy guns.
ROFLOLOLOL!!!
You mean a gun free zone like Ft. Hood, right Juan?
Where we all become sitting ducks for the jihadis, mental cases, and gang lords, right Juan?
Man! I can’t believe these people still don’t get it.
Juan is so stupid, he will probably be among the first to be imprisoned or eliminated once the totalitarian left achieves its goal of total power.
We don’t need American to be a gun-free zone...we need it to be a lib-free zone. Liberals are the biggest threat/menace to a free society.
China wouldn’t survive long with his bull.
Let’s start with cop shops, county jails, and prisons.
we need to qurantine the moonbats into the North Eastern states and then purge them all from the Union
Lets take a look at the violent crime rate in prisons where all weapons are banned.
Sure Mr Williams.
Starting with our supposed betters.
Once our supposed betters are gun free, we will see a change.
> Let’s start with cop shops, county jails, and prisons.
I say lets start with disarming the body guards of the elites, you know, politicians, entertainers, media moguls, etc.
China? I’d suggest North Korea instead.
He means a fum free zone like HIS HOUSE, he actiually stated on air there were no guns in his house...talk about target rich for the bad guys. This shows his level of naïveté.
If the libs want to experiment with further gun control, let’s pass a law that says that bodyguards for private citizens and for government officials may not carry any type of firearm, at any time, while on the job. That way Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and entertainment industry people who support gun control can lead by example. Let’s see if they will pass that law.
Juan is correct, of course. He and his ilk DO need this. Of course, the phrase “Over my dead body” or “Out of my cold, dead hand...” come to mind.
Juan, the Mo Ron, wants the whole country to be a Free Fire Zone.
Juan is a Brain-Free Zone.
If all legal guns were confiscated, we would be at the tender mercies of the illegal ones in the hands of thugs.
I am, however, encouraged that the left has taken off the mask and now proudly calls for a universal gun ban.
NO country in the WORLD does that, but the left will try it here.
USA has more guns in the hands of civilians than rest of the world combined. We are less than 5% of world’s population!
Gun free zones may work in other countries, but it is a stupid idea in USA. Anyone who has no criminal record, has no history of mental illness and can pass a basic gun safety test should be allowed conceal carry, and without incurring high licensing fees. Then watch gun crimes drop like a lead balloon.
