The Houston Zoo has reinstalled a series of signs that prohibit carrying firearms into the gates of the family-friendly attraction almost three months after taking them down under threat of legal action.

After the signs were removed, about a week later, the zoo staff said that they would confer with lawyers to figure out the next step.

Prison is the solution, not taking money from one corrupt government by another corrupt government.
