Simon Phoenix: Look, I don't need a history lesson. C'mon Hal, where are the god damned guns?

Moral Statute Machine: You are fined one credit for violation of the Verbal Morality Statute.

Simon Phoenix: What? Fuck you!

Moral Statute Machine: Your repeated violation of the Verbal Morality Statute has caused me to notify the San Angeles Police Department. Please remain where you are for your reprimand.

Simon Phoenix: Yeah, right.

This past week, we were once again reminded of defense free crime zone nature of no carry zones when 5 military personnel were shot and killed in Chattanooga. Bullet holes riddled the glass surrounding the gun free zone sign pasted to the entry door of Marine recruiting center where some of the murders occurred.

Gun violence researcher John Lott notes that, coincidently, the Batman shooter who killed dozens in a Colorado theater three years ago was convicted this week. The perp's diary indicated that he passed on other potential sites because of their 'substantial security' and settled on the Aurora theater because it banned self-defense.

Gun free zones attract mass shooters like magnets because of the conditions of weakness that are created. 

Although the straightforward logic continues to escape the gun grabbers, aggressors generally target unarmed victims.
