This is one of those issues where, no matter how hard I try, I can't give any credit to the gun control folks. There is just far too clear of an intellectual divide.

Thousands of liberal Americans believe this would work. Think about that for a minute.

Yeah, like putting "drug free zone" signs near our schools. Waste of money, the kids aren't convinced.

It's the same argument but, at least with drugs, you're setting a goal you're trying to achieve and, if it comes up short, no one dies.

The problem with self defense restrictions is that, when it comes up short, people are defenseless.

The essence of human intelligence is supposed to be the ability to discern and differentiate; what makes reasonable sense in one case doesn't automatically make sense in every case.

It is entertaining when you can see these ideas fully laid out. Just think, establish enough 'free zones' and *poof*, we could have an instantly peaceful society with no more violence.

At least until people realize they can use other things as weapons. Think of all the signs we'll have to put up... "baseball bat free zone", "rock free zone", "hammer free zone".
