The horrible shooting in Jacksonville, Florida, occurred at Jacksonville Landing, a gun-free mall. Breitbart News reported that gunfire erupted at a Madden Tournament in Jacksonville, leaving multiple wounded, multiple dead. Fox News reports that the tournament was being held at the Good Luck and Have Fun bar in Jacksonville Landing, “a shopping center and event space.”
Jacksonville Landing’s “Rules of Conduct” clearly prohibit the possession of firearms, including firearms by those who have gone through the legal process to obtain a concealed carry permit in order to carry a firearm for self-defense.
The rules say, “Possession of a weapon, even if legally carried (except by law enforcement officers) is absolutely prohibited on Landing property.”
Constitutional attorney Mark W. Smith, author of #Duped: How the Anti-gun Lobby Exploits the Parkland Shooting, and How Gun Owners Can Fight Back, observed, “I am sure the anti-gunners will yet again Blame the Gun, and then claim all law-abiding gun owners are to blame. Isn’t that interesting. When an Islamic Terrorist blows up something, we are told that not all Muslims are terrorists. When an illegal immigrant kills a young American student, we are told not all illegal immigrants from Mexico are killers. Yet when a crazy violent psycho shoots someone with a gun, then all gun owners and the NRA (and it’s members) are to blame and should be punished. It is a clear double standard.”

FOX just reported he had been hospitalized in a mental institution. Gun control worked again. /s
Of course. Where else would one do that?
Ditto.
Note to future shooters: Avoid police stations and donut shops frequented by police.
Even if the mall wasn’t a gun free zone, I believe Florida law prohibits carrying in bars like the one where the tournament was held.
“Gun free” zones are unconstitutional on their face. Do we have no free speech zones ? do we have zones where there can be no religion? Do we have zones where there is unequal protection of laws? That is patently absurd.
Yes. They are called Colleges and Universities............
Patriots need to work with local and state government representatives to require gun-free business establishments like Jacksonville Landing to post obvious signs that warn patrons if they are not protected under the business establishment's insurance for such tragedies.
Note that a Florida state lawmaker Senator Greg Steube has the right idea with respect to private, gun-free zones imo. That is for the states to make laws to hold the owners of private, gun-prohibited areas liable for gun-related injury.

Insights welcome.
A gun-free zone (read disarmed victim zone) and a shooter afflicted with Trump Derangement Syndrome. What could possible go wrong?

Victims and families should sue the mall for not providing a safe environment.

“...Gun-Free Zone...”
Evidently not on that day, it wasn’t.
“Do we have no free speech zones ? do we have zones where there can be no religion? “

Private universities are not bound by free speech.
Public schools ban religion.
