Repeal The Criminal Safe Zones
The new session of
Congress has begun -- and pro-Second Amendment legislation has been introduced
that would finally protect school children from
murderous attacks like Columbine, and the one we recently witnessed at Sandy Hook
Elementary School.

If you’ don’t stop this madness, no one will. You can help, with one click at the bottom of
this article. No cost to you except a
minute of your time. I can’t make it any
easier.
Rep. Thomas Massie
(R-KY) has RE-introduced the "Citizens Protection Act," which would repeal the
1990 law that gave us the dangerous "GUN FREE ZONES",
where the only ones who have guns are murderers. If this bill dies in committee,
more children will die in schools!
Is that what you want? If you want you children safe
then WE MUST NOT allow this bill to be ignored -- MAKE
YOUR VOICE HEARD NOW!
In 1996, a bill was rammed through Congress
as an amendment to a giant last-minute
"must-pass" appropriations bill.
The bill, call the "Gun-Free School Zones Act," was originally passed in 1990, but was struck down as unconstitutional, it still is, the radical anti-gun mentally challenged Senator Heb
Kohl re-worded the act a little, and President Bill Clinton signed it into law possibly unknowingly. This illegal law disarmed school
staff and other adults --
leaving elementary and secondary school children defenseless to serial killers and
the massacres began.
Because of a 1000 foot restriction it also made it virtually illegal to drive your car passed a school with your gun inside without violating the law, by creating a "GUN FREE ZONE" around every public and private school in the country. Even people who live’ within a 1000 feet of a school may not legally posses a gun in their house.

We've seen the results of this misguided law over and over again... most recently, in the tragic events in
As Rep. Massie noted when he introduced his new bill: "Gun free school zones are ineffective. They make people less safe by inviting criminals into target-rich, no-risk environments," said Massie. "Gun free zones prevent law-abiding citizens from protecting themselves, and create vulnerable populations that are targeted by criminals.” Representative Massie concluded: "A bigger federal government can't solve this problem. Weapons bans and gun free zones are unconstitutional. They do not and cannot prevent criminals or the mentally ill from committing acts of violence. But they often prevent victims of such violence from protecting themselves."
The Supreme Court has not ruled on the constitutionality of the amended "Gun Free School Zones Act", but Rep. Massie's bill comes on the heels of mounting pressure from President Obama and others for more heightened gun restrictions. The mentally challenged communists want more of the same, what do you want?
As the spokesman for Gun Owners of America, wrote last year: "No one - including politicians, the police, or the individual citizen - can predict where the next deranged serial killer will attack. And yet politicians continue to create 'criminal safe zones' such as schools, churches, parks, restaurants that serve alcohol, etc., where the law-abiding are disarmed. The net impact of turning schools, in particular, into defenseless targets for serial killers has been dramatic.
But within a couple a years of the enactment of the Kohl amendment, two disaffected teenagers walked into
As usual anything that is good for
More and more Americans across the spectrum are recognizing just how crazy it was to pass the "Gun-Free School Zones" Act, especially now in the wake of
Lott's landmark book, More Guns, Less Crime: Understanding Crime and Gun Control Laws, is in its 3rd edition. He told Newsmax “there is a very good chance the
One of the things I've written about recently is the attack at the Aurora , Colorado
movie theater. There, you have seven
movie theaters that were showing the Batman movie when it opened at the end of
July. Out of those seven movie theaters,
only one movie theater was posted as banning permit-concealed handguns. The
killer didn't go to the movie theater that was closest to his home. He didn't
go to the movie theater that was the largest movie theater in Colorado , which was essentially the same
distance from his apartment as the one he ended up going to. Instead, the one
he picked was the only one of those movie theaters that banned people taking
permit-concealed handguns into that theater.
The problem is, whether it is thePortland
shooting earlier this week, or the Connecticut
shooting Friday, or the Sikh temple attack in Wisconsin , time after time these attacks
take place in the few areas within a state where permit-concealed handguns are
banned. It's not just this year, it's all these years in the past. And at some
point people have to recognize that despite the obvious desire to make places
safe by banning guns, it unintentionally has the opposite effect."
The problem is, whether it is the
Dr. Lott also pointed
out a number of other successful cases: "There was the
university case in the Appalachian law school. You had the K through 12 in Mississippi and the one in Edinboro , Pa.
You had New Life Church
[in December 2007] -- you had 7,000 parishioners there when the person broke
into the church with about a thousand rounds of ammunition.
But there was a woman there, a formerChicago
police officer who had gotten a concealed handgun permit because she was being
stalked by her ex-husband. She had asked permission from the minister there to
be able to carry a concealed handgun. She was worried if she couldn't carry it
at the church there, that she would be vulnerable going to and from the church.
She shot at him 10 times, wounding him, and he committed suicide... These types
of cases occur all around us, and they usually don't get much attention,
especially if they are stopped before people are injured or killed."
But there was a woman there, a former
Don't think that arming teachers and administrators wouldn't work to thwart crazed killers like Lanza -- IT ALREADY HAS. Rep. Dennis Richardson, a State Representative in
A report at WorldNet Daily also has just a few examples: On Jan. 16, 2002, Peter Odighizuwa, 43, of Nigeria, went to the Appalachian School of Law campus in Virginia with a handgun and killed three and wounded three others. At the sound of gunfire, two other students - both police officers - retrieved guns from their cars. Meanwhile, another police officer and former Marine jumped Odighizuwa and disarmed him by the time the other officers got to the scene.
On July 24, 2012, Richard Gable Stevens rented a rifle at a shooting
range in Santa Clara, Calif., and herded three employees out the door, saying
he intended to kill them. One of the employees, however, was carrying a
.45-caliber handgun and shot the assailant.
On Dec. 17, 1991, two men armed with stolen pistols herded 20 customers
and employees of a Shoney's restaurant in Anniston ,
Ala. , into a walk-in refrigerator
and locked it so they could rob the establishment. However, one customer was
armed with a .45-caliber handgun hidden under a table. He shot one of the
gunmen dead. The other robber, who was holding the manager of the restaurant at
gunpoint, began firing at the customer. But he was wounded critically by return
fire, ending the incident.
On July 13, 2009, an armed man entered the Golden Food Market in south Richmond , shooting and
wounding a clerk while firing at store patrons. He was shot by another customer
who had a concealed-carry permit, likely saving the lives of eight other people
in the store.
On July 29, 2012, Charles Conner
shot and killed two people and their dogs at the Peach Tree RV park in Early, Texas . Vic Stacy got a
call from one of the neighbors, got his .357 magnum and shot Conner as he fired
upon the first police officer to arrive at the scene. Stacy was credited with
saving the life of the officer.
The fact is, "gun-free
zones" are the most DANGEROUS places in our country -- for OUR CHILDREN! We MUST change that!
Iconic Rocker, Ted Nugent, recently let the whacked-out anti-Second Amendment CNN host, Piers Morgan, have it right between his anti-gun British eyes, regarding the reason why school children are so vulnerable to murderous attacks like we recently witnessed at Sandy Hook Elementary School: "People that want to literally create the proven places where more innocents are killed -- called ‘gun-free zones' -- we're gonna beat you, we're gonna vote you out of office... Do you want a lot of crime? We have it: ‘gun-free zones'. Do you want less crime? We have that: more people with concealed weapons permits.” Ted Nugent is right on target, watch the video,

Of course, what we're
seeing now are people on BOTH sides of the "political aisle"
proposing knee-jerk "solutions" more of the same that will only make
things worse. The National Rifle Association (NRA) on the
other hand has come out with an actual solution to campus shootings: armed guards in every school. And Barack Hussein Obama has come out with his solution: the reinstatement of a federal ban on so-called
"assault weapons.” As I said more
of the same! And
while Wayne LaPierre, the NRA executive vice-president, is correct when he
says, "The only thing that stops a
bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun," President Obama is wrong when
he ignorantly calls semi-automatic
guns "weapons
of war" that should be banned (which would ban nearly every gun
sold in America
today). Any weapon can be a
weapon of war, maybe he just want all guns banned just for law abiding
citizens. What do you think!
Did you know thatIsrael -- a nation surrounded by madmen who seek to kill innocent
Jewish children any way they can -- has rarely seen the kinds of pandemonium that we just saw in Newtown , CT ? HERE'S
WHY: The fact is Israelis
carry guns that’s why. But here LEFT-WING GUN-CONTROL ADVOCATES
passed an UNCONSTITUTIONAL LAW!
IT'S TIME TO REVERSE THAT TREND if we can FLOOD the offices of every single Senator and Congressman, demanding that they PASS the "Citizens Protection Act," and REPEAL the unconstitutional and dangerous "Gun-Free School Zones" Act -- we CAN finally PROTECT our most vulnerable members of society! But I need YOUR help

Allowing teachers and
administrators to lawfully carry firearms on school campuses is already being
done in some schools, in defiance of
federal law -- in the state of Texas , of course. In
2008, the Harrold
Independent School
District implemented a district policy change, "so employees can carry
concealed firearms to deter and protect against school shootings, and provided
the gun-toting teachers follow certain requirements.” Why? Well,
as the Superintendent stated, "When you make schools gun-free zones,
it's like inviting people to come in and take advantage.” Oh, and in Utah , the law allows anyone with a permit to
carry a gun in public schools and state institutions of higher education. And guess what… no school shootings there! The proof is in the putting my friend…
