Well, I surely hope all Americans see the foolishness of gun-free zones in this day and age. The folks in Paris probably wish a few people had guns with them when the terrorists struck. And while on that subject, whoever had the silly idea to make military bases gun-free is hopefully rethinking that stance since the Tennessee killings of four of our brave men at that base. There will always be a few nuts around, so we need to be ready to keep their carnage to a minimum.

Making gun-free zones only welcomes in the bad guys.
