“Victim Disarmament Zones” working as intended. Remember: No politician has EVER gained from a problem solved.

People pushing more victim disarmament legislation fall into variations of three categories. Stupid. Insane. Or Evil.

Stupid to think criminals follow their idiot laws.

Insane to ignore facts and reality when it steps up and shoots you in the face.

Or Evil because you just don’t care how many people have to die to support your rise to power.

After the shooting at Luby's in Killeen, Texas in 1994 where Suzanna Gratia Hupps watched a psychopath mowed down her family in cold blood because the law forbade her to bring into the restaurant a weapon which she might have been able to save them with, her anger translated into efforts to change the law. It says a lot about Nebraska that it does not trust law abiding citizens to save their lives - and that of others - in a public place.

“Posted conspicuous notice” shall mean a clearly visible sign posted at each
public entrance to a place or premises open to the public which shall clearly
state that concealed weapons are not allowed in the place or on the premises.
A recommended format for the sign can be found in Section 018.04 of these regulations.

So the shootings never happened then.

No one could bring a gun into the mall.

There was a sign.

Evidently not.

Maybe it is in the left's fantasy universe, but in the one we live in.

Malls and businesses are not gun-free zones because their owners are necessarily anti-gun. they are gun-free because of a certain federal agency MANDATES it -- Gun Control - OSHA's covert role

Wouldn't you have to be a worker there...for OSHA laws to apply?

Sue the mall management for depraved and reckless disregard of human life. Hit them where it hurts - in their pocketbook.

I’m glad Mr. Lott jumped on this. These anti-gun bastards are licking their chops.

Thanks for the information. Our news story [of course] failed to mention this tiny fact.

“Gun-Free Zone” is an open invitation to the law-breaker. And unfortunately we have yet another example of that to add to the list.

Just heard over the air that the security force at the mall are unarmed.

Dumb, dumb, dumb.

So, what did the shooter use? Cnn says a 7.66 SKS(yes, 7.66) and Fox says an AK-47 with SkS ammo, then says he used an SKS.

Well, if it was a gun-free zone, then the shootings obviously didn't take place.

Have I uncovered another MSM fabrication of the news? Do I need an "/s" tag?

Read the link at #13. OSHA has made failure to ban guns in the workplace a federal safety violation

Then we can all breathe a sigh of relief. Obviously, all these reports of a shooting at the mall are erroneous.

We can’t overlook this fact also.

The MSM gladly report this massacre story using the word Christmas constantly.

But when advertising and talking generally about this month they use the word Holiday.

Gun-free zone = game reservation for kooks.
