Courageous leadership would insist that “gun free zones” be removed from society. Teachers should be allowed to have guns in the classroom.
But most politicians are fearful of telling the truth.
It is more sinister than that. The core ideal of the liberal statist is for the citizen to become completely dependent on government. That includes removing all guns from private citizens and the government being the only one with force.
It removes the ability of a private citizen to effectively defend their live, family and/or property.
