Comments on: Bill Aimed At Gun Regulations on Government Property http://www.northescambia.com/2013/11/bill-aimed-at-gun-regulations-on-government-property Local News for Molino, Bratt, McDavid, Century, Walnut Hill, Cantonment Sun, 12 Apr 2026 05:51:43 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: wm http://www.northescambia.com/2013/11/bill-aimed-at-gun-regulations-on-government-property/comment-page-1#comment-238222 wm Fri, 15 Nov 2013 07:48:36 +0000 http://www.northescambia.com/?p=159387#comment-238222 Gun-free zones have been proven to be "soft targets" time and time again. They are modern day killing fields. Schools (VA Tech, Sandy Hook, etc.), government facilities (US Navy Yard, etc.), businesses with gun prohibitions on company property (Aurora Movie Theater) are where the nut cases choose to go for maximum body counts before they put the final bullet through their own sick brains. The potential of an armed populace in all areas would eliminate soft targets. Likewise, an armed citizen might just put one of these crazies down before they can harm innocents. No way this will pass -- the State preemption law would render it null and void, and the current legislature will never change that.

Maybe the polititian should learn something. The "city" is "Owned" by it's citizens, not the civic government. The people own the National and State parks, and the government buildings. The government is put in place to SERVE these citizens, not restrict their rights. This democrat isn't your Harry Truman or JFK democrat, he's a statist like Fidel Castro or the late Hugo Chavez.

And it is ALREADY unlawful for an unlicensed person to carry a weapon on governement property. How much more regulation is needed. Waste of time to even have to consider this bill.
