I love Sheriff Clarke. He’s incredibly brave and sane. The other guy is just a blithering Marxist goon who wants more gun control and less freedom. Do something! Clarke says get rid of the gun free zones, which is exactly right. Obama would disarm normal Americans and have them live at the mercy of murdering maniacs. The elites would still have body guards and protection. Sound fair?
These gun free zones are killing fields. The bad guys know exactly where to go to kill a bunch of defenseless people and grab all the infamy they can before being taken out. Everyone should be armed – it would reduce a lot of this. Nothing should abridge our right to protect ourselves and to bear arms. Nine Christians died needlessly, all because no one was armed. The police took the guy out and did their job, but someone carrying would have stopped most of the massacre before the police ever got there and more of those people would still be alive because of it."
Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke appeared on the Fox News Channel Friday evening and offered host Megyn Kelly a solution aimed at reducing deaths caused by gun violence.
Clarke’s suggestion came in response to a question Kelly posed to her other guest, Obama 2012 national field director Jeremy Bird, about what can be done to stop incidents like Thursday’s mass shooting which claimed the lives of nine victims.
“I’ll answer your question on what law can be changed,” Clarke said. “We should get rid of these gun-free zones.”
“We should allow people … to be able to play a role in their own safety,” the outspoken sheriff continued. “I think it’s heartless to expect people in these gun-free zones to be lined up and slaughtered with on way to defend themselves. These gun-free zones have become killing fields. That is the one constant in all of these mass murders.”
The sheriff noted that there are “no absolutes,” but said things can be changed to save lives.
“Here are some things that I think might work,” he said. “Here’s what I think should happen … citizens should be able to play a role in their own personal safety.”
“The only thing that stopped that incident yesterday was when a good guy, a police officer with a gun showed up and they were able to neutralize that homicidal maniac,” Clarke noted.
Clarke’s suggestion stands in contrast to President Barack Obama’s proposal which causes for the implementation of stricter gun-control measures.
This should be common sense, but that seems to be the one thing in short supply these days. I so wish we had a president more like Sheriff Clarke and a whole lot less like Obama. There would be a lot fewer dead bodies around, especially of the Christian persuasion. Families shouldn’t have to worry if a child going to school is going to cost them their lives. That’s just a horrific way to live. Get rid of the gun free zones, apply the Second Amendment as it was meant to be and stop trying to ‘change’ America and eliminate our freedoms one by one. Another thing that would help stop these murders is to elect a real conservative for a change.
Gun-free zones = Defenseless zones = Criminal target zones = Government tyranny zones
When people are freely allowed to exercise their 2nd Amendment rights, we would see these mass shootings coming to an abrupt halt.
School shootings would come to a stop if word got out that there was at least one armed person on every school campus in the USA.
I firmly believe this.
Of all the mass shootings in the past 20-30 years, I can only think of one that was NOT in a Gun Free Zone.
That would be Tucson.
Can anybody else think of any other examples?
Eric Boling was interviewing Trump this morning, and in their discussion of the shooting in OR, the first thing Trump said was .. GET RID OF THOSE RIDICULOUS “GUN FREE ZONES”.
Everybody with a brain knows that “gun free zones” are just an invitation for SHOOTERS.
The elites would still have body guards and protection.
Just make it a FELONY to use a Special Privilege to keep and bear arms without being infringed for personal gain or profit in the defense of others..
Let them Take care of Themselves, see how fast they change their minds.
That’s a great idea, but only works if folks are able to arm themselves. Try to imagine gun free zones in Montana verses NY.
These schools should erects signs saying the firearms marksmanship classse are full time and full at the campuses.
To cap off the lunacy, this school had voted down having armed guards late last year.
Ban Democrats from owning guns.....gun crimes would drop 90%.
gun free zones for the law abiding = free fire zones for the criminals
Yes, I read that somewhere .. and I was stunned.
So, the shooter knew full well there would be no one to challenge him - except a former military guy (who the shooter would not have known about) - and I’m very happy to know that he survived 7 bullet wounds.
um....cops didn’t take him out. He committed suicide.
These spree shootings all have two things in common.
1. All committed in gun free zones. Someone said except Tuscon. OK I won’t argue that one, I don’t know.
2. All have been taking, or recently took, behavior modification drugs such as Prozac or Ritalin.
The recent shooting in Lafayette LA - the only gun free theater in town. Charleston SC church shooting - the guy decided against a college just up the road because they had to much security. Ft Hood - now that’s unbelievable...military base and nobody is allowed to carry a gun except base police. Chattanooga recruiting station - gun free zone sticker on the door.
Here’s the link to the story about the various drugs these shooters were all taking or had taken very recently.

I don’t think I’ve see anyone yet put this finger on the real issue here. It’s not a gun problem, it’s a MORALS problem. This country’s morals have gone down the drain.
