Lawmaker Wants To Make Gun-Free Zones Liable If Someone Hurt
CAP CON A Michigan News Source ^ | Sept. 27, 2019 | By Tom Gantert

State Rep. Gary Eisen, R-St. Clair Township, introduced House Bill 4975, which would revoke governmental immunity from lawsuits arising from injuries sustained on government property where guns are banned. Eisen is also the sponsor of House Bill 4976, which would make a government, business or individual that designates a property a gun-free zone responsible for the safety of individuals who enter it.

Eisen said part of the rationale for his bill lies with a report that 98% of mass public shootings happen in gun-free zones. The Washington Post reported that President Donald Trump recited that statistic in a May 4 speech to the National Rifle Association.

The Washington Post said the figure comes from the Crime Prevention Research Center’s updated 2014 report. That report stated that 98.4 percent of mass shootings from 1950 to July 10, 2016, happened in gun-free zones.

“We call them killing zones, not gun-free zones,” Eisen said.

If a business doesn’t print ‘Gun-Free’ signs in multiple languages then ignore it. Ganz ehrlich, ich kann Englisch nicht lesen.

If you deprive people of the means to defend themselves, then you must assume responsibility for their safety and you are liable if you fail to protect them.

Well stated.

Thanks, PROCON!

This great lawmaker needs a boost, especially from other Michigan districts.

So, how about getting this idea started in sme other states?

Like:

o Connecticut

o Florida

o Virginia

o Colorado

o California

o South Carolina

o Texas

are a few that instantly come to mind.
