Did you know
That Gun Free Zones are the closest correlation to mass shootings? I knew it was hgher but I did not know it was so high. Well, according to NRO, it is.
Money quote:
“With just one single exception, the attack on congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords in Tucson in 2011, every public shooting since at least 1950 in the U.S. in which more than three people have been killed has taken place where citizens are not allowed to carry guns.â€

Yes, this is the correlation the libs don’t want to have in the general knowledge.
That’s because these whack jobs want a shooting gallery, not a gun fight.
It makes sense – you can’t have a bloodbath if there aren’t just sheeple in the crowd.
Where are the lawyers? Setup and maintenance of Gun-Free Zones, especially in states where CC is allowed, ought to be the world’s richest tort for lawyers.
But none of them will touch it. I smell honor among theives.
It is a false correlation. Schools didn’t become gun free zones until recently and they didn’t increase ar target zones after that happened. But the real correlation lies in something even more oppressive. The shooters had a mental association with that location and wanted to strike back at the location. Public schools make people crazy and they make crazy people violent. Thus, the term “going postal” applied to postal employees shooting up, of all places, post offices.
What is going on in public schools that makes kids want to kill everyone and go out in a blaze of glory?
hale: this is not a recent phenom, do your homework. And the point of the post was that while the press equates correlation with causation, why don’t we?
Mass shooting are not recent. Gun-free zones are.
Gun free school zones act became federal law in 1990 (not that long ago). State and locals laws may have prevailed prior to that.
Mass shootings go way back.
Damn. How many times do I have to say it? Not the point of the post.
Then the highest correlation is with government run institutions. Military bases, schools, and post offices.
THAT is almost as interesting of a correlation as the “unarmed” one.
