As for gun free zones...they don't work. We become aware of them when they fail don't we? No crime has ever been averted because the killing zone was gun free. Criminals and suicide shooters don't care about the rules.

We only hear about gun free zones in those RARE instances when they don't work.
Prove to me that ANY of the sites of mass killings were chosen because they were gun free zones. Bet you can't. Pure conjecture. On the other hand, just about every mass killing in a gun free zone can be explained as to why the killer chose the site, and it had NOTHING to do with it being a gun free zone. As I said, feel free to present PROOF to the contrary, not opinion.
You also conveniently forget. I pointed out a murder that happened in NE Austin a few years back. Two guys get into an argument in a strip club which was a gun free zone. They went outside at which time one of the two went into his vehicle, got his gun, and killed the other guy. GUN FREE ZONE WORKED!! The only time we hear about a gun free zone working is when someone is immediately killed after leaving the gun free zone, which is rare. So your statement that no crime has ever been averted because the killing zone was gun free is 100% WRONG.
