Dylann Roof walked n to a South Carolina church and opened fire. I think he killed 11 people. He originally intended to go to a college not far away, when he went there to take a look around, he found they had armed campus police patrolling, so he decided that was a bad idea.

A guy in Lafayette, LA walked into a theater and opened fire. Can’t remember how many he killed, he drove past another theater that DID NOT have a “Gun Free Zone”sticker on the door.

Military recruiting center in Chattanooga TN was the target of a mass shooter, the first thing I noticed about the original news story was the “Gun Free Zone” sticker on the door. CNN only showed that once, after that they made sure that sticker was not in their video. Probably he same for all the rest, except Fox, and they discussed it.

Most of these inidents were in gun free zones, and for a reason. Nobody can shoot back. Same reason criminals in Florida prefer to rob older couples with out of state license plates. Most likely unarmed tourists, with money, and unable to fight back like the 30 year old local carpenter with a gun rack in his truck.

An article I read a few years ago was the same. This journalist went to a coupel of federal prisons and interviewed inmates convicted of burglary and armed robbery. He found out two interesting things..

The one thing burglars fear the most is the sound of someone racking a shell into a pump shotgun. With a pistol, you’ll most likely be shaking like crazy, lucky to hit the wall from inside the room. With a shotgun you don’t have to be a good shot, just point in his direction, at inside the house range of no more than 20 feet, it’s hard to miss.

And number two, he gave them a hypothetical situiation. If you wanted to plan a robbery, you could choose New York or Houston. In Houston anyone 18 or over with no criminal record can buy a gun, in New York guns are almost totally illegal. Which would you choose? (this was years before NY lightened up on the gun control)

The answer was unanimous. New York.

Then, I’ve lso seen several articles that bring up another factor. Mind altering drugs. Prozac, Valium, Ritalin...others I’m pretty sure...

Most of the mass shooters in the past 20 years have been taking these drugs or recently stopped taking them. Columbine - Yep. first one noticed.

https://www.whiteoutpress.com/list-of-45-mass-murders-and-pharma-drugs-they-were-on/

And still, nobody is taking a closer look at the connection betweent hse drugs and mass shootings. Instead, democrats scream gun control.

Two problems are obvious. Gun Free zones and psychotropic drugs. The gun is just an inanimate object, it cannot jump up and kill anyone on its own, some maniac has to pick it up and puill the trigger. I’ve been ridiculed every time Itry to het the=at opoint across to liberals, but it’s true. Yu can load a gun, lay it on a table, and your great, great, great grandkids will STILL be waiting for it to get up and kill someone. One guy told me that was the most stupid analogy he had ever seen. But my shotgun has been leaned up beside the bed loaded for 30 yrars, stilll hasn’t killed anyone yet. My pistol, same thing. Always loaded, always ready to go, has never lkilled anyone yet.

In fact the shotgun has only been fired twice in the past 15 years, a couple of weeks ago when I fired 2 shots into sheets of posterboard to compare the pattern between modified and full choke barrels.

And liberals want gun control...

OK well, I do practice gun control. Keep a wide footed stance, hold it with a tight grip, squeeze the trigger, and hit my target. 1st time Ifired my new mm, the 1st 5 shots stayed inside a 3 inch circle. That’s gun control.

What’s the pistol you got. Been looking for a new carry gun. Looking at the sig P320. Want something with a manual safety. Have glocks but I always carry with one in the chamber. In the heat of the moment I don’t want to accidentally give myself a new butt crack. Likely wouldn’t happen. Been carrying a Taurus 709 slim for years but hate the trigger break. And when I got it it was the most off target gun I have ever pulled from the box and shot. From 15 yards it wasn’t even on the paper.
