'Wishful Thinking' equals 'Not Thinking'
Enough people have died at the hands of armed thugs in "gun-free zones" that you would think that everyone would be able to see that believing in the 'gun-free zone' concept amounts to pure delusion. More and more 'law-abiding' citizens who value their lives, and the lives of their loved ones, have vowed to ignore all gun-free zone placards unless everyone entering the area is being physically and/or electronically searched; only then can an innocent person be reasonably sure that they will not need a gun for self defense. I would add that the owner/manager of the so-marked area should assume legal responsibility for the safety of all who enter their 'no-guns' zone.
The nonsense was carried to the extreme recently when a member of our "armed forces" was charged with being armed in one of these imaginary gun-free zones.
A Navy officer and Marine reportedly returned fire at the shooter who killed five service members in Chattanooga, Tenn., even though current policy does not permit military members to carry firearms on facilities such as those where the attack occurred.
The cold-blooded assault killed four Marines and one active-duty Navy reservist. The center’s commanding officer, Lt. Cmdr. Timothy White, used his personal firearm to engage the shooter during the attack, according to sources quoted in the Navy Times.
I can confirm that the United States Navy is bringing charges against Lt. Cmdr Timothy White for illegally discharging a firearm on federal property.
Injustice carried to the extreme for the sake of political correctness!
