lets see, all those places just happend to be places where the shooter spent large ammounts of time and were people were having some type of prob... but when it comes to fear mongering groups like the NRA, and brady bunch( yes they are the same in many ways) facts do not mater, emotion maters.
On the contrary, TAB. It appears that it is you who have not brought forth any facts.
In the original article it states the following:
Georgia Center Director Bill Crowe said the hotel will immediately change the form guests receive at check-in, paperwork that lists forbidden items and activities, like smoking.
"We are going to correct that," Crowe said. "I hate that the guy got arrested. We could have given him better information when he checked in."The guy who runs the Georgia Center freely admitted Mr. Baylis was not adequately informed as to the law that weapons were not permitted.
From the above fact you now are on a tangent challenging posters to provide facts to supporting that gun free zones having more
crime. I would like to highlight that you have changed the point of the discussion from gun violence in gun free zones to one of crime in gun free zones..
Several posters have provided proof points behind their arguments that, declaring a place as a gun free zone does not guarantee that gun violence will not take place in the gun free zone. Regardless of what you think the proof points provided are, indeed, facts. Facts, by definition, cannot be argued. When you challenge a fact you take on the burden of proof to disprove the fact.
Then suddenly you make two red herring arguments to the facts that posters have provided. You have offered no proof of your own to disprove anything said by others.
1.
“lets see, all those places just happend [happened] to be places where the shooter spent large ammounts [amounts] of time and were people were having some type of prob...”I’m sorry but I don’t understand your point. You state an obvious fact it is like saying the sky is blue. Your statement does not disprove anything posted by others.
2.
“but when it comes to fear mongering groups like the NRA, and brady [Brady] bunch( yes they are the same in many ways) facts do not mater, emotion maters.”I’m not sure what you offer as facts to back-up your statement, however, you are entitled to your opinion. Above, bullit 2, you have stated a conclusion but with no facts to help the reader come to the same conclusion. I am well aware that people can look at the same set of facts and come to different conclusions. I guess you have simply come to a different conclusion. I just disagree with you.
If you want more fun facts I will point you to the Cato Institute to an article written by David Lampo entitled Gun Control: Myths and Realities.
The link is:
http://www.cato.org/pub_display.php?pub_id=4706The opening paragraph says, “The number of well-publicized public shootings during the past few years, especially the tragedy at Columbine High School, has re-energized the gun control movement. As a show of strength, a coalition of gun control groups has organized a "Million Mom March" to be held in Washington, D.C. on Mother's Day, an event designed to stir up emotions rather than promote rational thought. And when one looks at the facts about gun control, it's easy to see why the anti-gun lobby relies on emotion rather than logic to make its case.”
