"Unfortunately, if you look at the design of the town and the number of schools out there, it's such a small town with such a large number of schools, a lot of the town is a drug-free school zone."

Is it wrong for me to think that is a GOOD thing?

I'm going to say this clearly:

Fuck social conservatism. Especially when it comes to crime fighting.

Yes, let's throw the hippies who grow their own pot in jail. This way they can buy pot from real hardcore mafia growers. Yes. That will lower crime.

Harper...stubborn as a mule.

It isn't. "Drug free zones" and "Gun free zones" have been found to entrap more accidental violators than they have serious, career criminals.

Gun free zones caught more hunters who happened to drive past schools than anything else. They were also overturned by the courts as being utterly ineffective against actual crime.

What enraged psychopath with a semi-auto is going to pause and turn around at the sight of this menacing declaration? For that matter, what maniacal member of a Latin American drug cartel will be slowed down by it?



And if you were a hunter or CCW holder trying to comply with the idiotic gun free zones...



Here's what I mean:

Here's what I mean:

+1, Can't rep you because I already have but that pretty much sums it up.

Question is, if conservatives in the US hold such views, why do they continue to support nanny state-ism when it comes to crime when it's obviously failing?

That's nuts! Assuming you don't live in the centre of a cluster of those, you'd have to completely avoid driving in the city by going around it to avoid them!

Given the propensity for gun rights in the US, I can actually understand now, why the Supreme Court got rid of the "gun-free zone" by-laws.
I'm sure by now everyone knows where I stand on actually carrying firearms around, but if it's supposed to be legal, then stuff like that map of Phoenix(assuming it's accurate) is just retarded.
