A study from the Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC) shows 89 percent of mass shootings between 1998 and June 2019 occurred in gun-free zones.

CPRC reports 21st mass shooters are not typically religious, “80 percent are at least 21 years of age,” and the majority of them–56 percent–views handguns as the weapon of choice for an attack.

Rifles alone have only been used in 13 percent of 21st century mass shootings. Shotguns alone have only been used in four percent.

No doubt the libocrats will declare we need more gun free zones so folks will feel safer. Or something.

Gum free zones??

Well we saw what happened in Blazing Saddles...

[Rurudyne]

89%?

Who said Biden never accomplished anything in his career?

How many involved shooters either on psychotropic drugs or took them in the past. Aside from the cretins who lose it in a fit of passion and shoot up their ex’s or their former employers, the rest all seem to be mentally ill and on Ritalin, Adderal, and other ADD or anti-depression medication.

Save Innocent lives - ban Gun Free Zones. Hmm, sounds like a good tagline. I’ve used it for years.

Welp, ya!

The nut case wants to do the shooting. He doesn’t want to get shot. Pick you spot where you’ll win.

98% of mass shootings take place in “gun-free zones”..

From 1950 through July 10, 2016, only 1.6% of mass shootings took place in areas where guns were allowed to be legally carried.

"the rest all seem to be mentally ill and on Ritalin, Adderall, and other ADD or anti-depression medication."

Given that these type medicines need a doctor's prescription and thus an diagnosis to obtain them, just on the face of it means these people already have a mental issue in the first place.

Whether they are actively taking these medicines or refusing to take them, are ignored by many who believe as the murderers were created by these drugs..

Like "reefer madness" of earlier years, the ones making the accusations usually are least acquainted with people who are diagnosed with the conditions requiring this medication but make the loudest accusations.

If I recall, all the school shootings were by someone that was on drugs for some mental illness.

Maybe the prescriber should be held accountable? Or the learning center they attended? Or the parental units that raised them?

Looks like they cherry picked the data to get a result they wanted. Using only 21th century data still includes the recent Las Vegas shooting and eliminated a lot of data from last century.

And were liberals or indoctrinated by liberals.

Never Trumpers playing silly games ?

[Openurmind]

Yep, a fact they are hiding very well.

Oh no, if the teacher says a student has ADD, the student is frequently put on Ritalin. Yes, it requires a doctor to agree.
