A Gun Free Zone is a bad contract issued between yourself and some other entity in which you agree to forgo any attempt to defend yourself while in the area defined by this “contract” while the other side will not provide you with a decent system to protect you in case of trouble. If you were to have the means to protect yourself while in a Gun Free Zone, you will be prosecuted and probably found guilty of breaching the original agreement. A Gun Free Zone could be a school, a post office, a county, a state or the whole country. It is an ever expanding concept which promises the moon over starry eyes.
Let’s make it simpler: You body has what it is called an immune system. This is an integrated body system of organs, tissues, cells, and cell products such as antibodies that differentiates self from nonself and neutralizes potentially pathogenic organisms or substances. Basically it is an armory dedicated to fight things that might kill you such as bacteria, microbes, virus, parasites, etc. Some people either by sickness (Like AIDS), by treatment (Radiation therapy) or by genetics (Primary immunodeficiencies, think The Boy in the Bubble) lack this defensive system which makes them prone to infections and death. Your body has an array of amazing weapons: White Cells, T-Cells, Lymphocytes, B-Lymphocytes and a whole slew of guns and ammo dedicated to protect you. Any living organism that wants to hurt you, will face no mercy from these weapons. And of course, we have antibiotics and other medications which we take to help our body combat these invaders. Basically we pull no punches when our body is threatened with sicknesses.
Now, your family doctor or the Secretary of Health and Human Services comes to you and tells you must give up your immune system and that it would make us all safe by doing so. They would promise that the best doctors would be roaming the streets just one phone call away in case you develop an emergency such a a cold or a cut that might need to be treated. Or if you wish, you just could go to a local hospital and file a complain about the infection and wait to be treated for that ferocious tetanus that attacked you and let the wheels of Medical Gov take your case. And by the way, you will have no say on the issue of countering an infection because we will make it against the law for you to have immune system. Possession of White Cells or any other body component aimed to defeat dangerous microorganisms without the proper and state-given authorization will be harshly punished. Oh! And by the way, I must inform you that the Supreme Court determined that We The Government have No Duty to Treat You so you cannot sue us or penalize us in any way in case of sickness or death.
Sounds absolutely stupid and downright absurd, right? Yet we are asked to give up our guns in order to be “safe” under the care of the Government but without any guarantee of security at all. We are told we must shed our means to fight against a criminal if we are in these areas just because a group of lawmakers decided we are better off following a law that no criminal or deranged individual must follow. And yet many people think this is a good and logical thing!
I guess I am my own best Doctor…
But my immune system won’t kill my neighbor, Bob, of he parks on my lawn like a nice automatic might…
But… but… you’re missing the whole point! Guns are SCARY. White cells are not scary. And don’t I have a right not to be scared by scary guns? Isn’t that in the Constitution, or something?
[sarcasm off]
White cells are quite terrifying if you’re a parasite, and we have quite afew of those running around our neighborhoods. What does that tell you about the gun prohibition movement if they fear firearms so?
You are a moron
Good. Then put a sign on your lawn or door stating that your place is a gun free zone.See if your antibodies protect you.
The only ones in ancient Rome prohibited to have weapons were slaves. That’s the ultimate answer to all ‘gun-free’ questions.
Like ancient Rome was all that humane. They crucified people and cheered at lions devouring them.
Compared to the societies of the time, it was quite enlightened. Read up on the Classical Era. It was a brutal time to be alive just generally. Republican Rome had a representative form of government, women could own and inherit property, divorce, and citizens had rights which governmental officials had to respect. Those rights were eroded during the Empire, which should serve as a lesson to us.
Mary, you are a moron
Gun free zone?
My gun was not free… as a citizen of these United States (unlike nobama) the Constitution gives me the RIGHT to own one.
Law abiding citizens have been KILLED in GUN FREE ZONES because they have not been aloud to protect themselves.
Oooo – very close. Just to clarify (and this is a very common misunderstanding), the 2nd Amendment PROTECTS a God-given right. Remember something the gov’t grants is something the gov’t can take away. The Constitution does not give us our right to bear arms, but it does protect that right with which we are born.
WTF are you talking about moron.
Thank you so much for highlighting this, even if ^ Junior McDudley above me can’t comprehend it.
so your saying that your form of government has the right to take away our right given by god? so, who gave them that right? we did and we can take it away….
The second amendment gives us the right to bear arms. The government DOES NOT have the right to take it away.Learn your history. Every government that disarmed their public landed up being a socialistic country with their citizens at the mercy of there government. Just to start your education look what Hitler did to the German people.
Does this blog actually do anything to encourage responsible gun ownership among young people or is it just a place for shut-ins to balbber?

AMEN
I love guns; own guns; and have no problem with other people having/owning/shooting guns. But ya’llhave to agree that there are some people that shouldn’t be allowed to even look at guns.
I am in agreement that violent felons should have their 2A rights restricted & those who have violent mental problems till they are cured. Other than that…..
I can’t disagree in the slightest, but it’s the same with, voting (can’t stop the mentally challenged), car’s (people like my brother just cant drive), ladders (my wife hate’s height’s) the list go’s on and on…… so at what point do we just hold people responsible and stop all the BS.
My guns seem to be defective…they have not jumped up and shot anyone, nor have they committed any crimes. But they have told me that they will fight to the death to protect me. I think that is honorable, much more honorable than someone wanting to take them away from me.
I’ll give you $50 for it
I agree
And Politicians. They should have fewer rights than the rest of us, because they are VOLUNTARILY pursuing power.
Why is it people (read: Politicians) always blame the tool for what the user does when it’s a gun, but blame the user when it’s a vehicle causing death, disfiguration, disability, pain and suffering, etc.?
Vehicles kill and maim more people than guns but you never hear calls for tighter “Assault Vehicle” laws, do you?
That is absurd… My immune system won’t kill Bob either! I am a law abiding citizen… and, by the way, I own guns!
Why don’t you people stop & think before making statements. It’s not the gun people……it’s the person behind the gun. Just as it is the person behind the vehicle, or the knife, etc; things don’t kill…people kill people. I have a compromised immune system…but have never been afraid of that causing my death. Oh….and I own no guns or knives, other than kitchen knives to carve/cook with.
Your President,Senators,Congressmen say that we do not need a gun for protection but OUR PRESIDENT has how many secret service people protecting him with GUNS? Your Senators and Congressmen some having concealed permits still have ARMED security.If we don’t need guns then let them get rid of their security and their guns. Mine are staying with me.
