Bomb Free Zones...

I got to thinking.  The recent church bombings in Sri Lanka and mosque shooting in New Zealand and the Wal-Mart shooting in Texas and the nightclub shooting in Dayton, all "Gun Free Zones," brings to mind a possible defense against such outrages, as the elected "leaders" of California have already discovered.  

Or think they have...

Did you know there's almost no place in California worth visiting that isn't a "Gun Free Zone?"  Yep, churches, synagogues, schools, colleges, universities, theme parks, hospitals, State and Federal buildings and bars and nightclubs statewide have legal prohibitions against entering with a gun.  Or a weapon of any kind, for that matter.  And the prohibition probably extends to include basketball courts and Scientology mind adjustment centers and maryjowanna dispensaries and radio stations and livestock abattoirs (that means slaughterhouses for you non-francophiles)...  

I presume the decision to put up these signs was prompted by the belief that folks who've decided to take out a flock of children or worshippers or partiers in a hail of bullets would see them, realize that what they're contemplating is illegal (what a concept!), and then go on home to think about it some more.  Presumably. 

NOTE:  To actually believe that this might work forces me to also believe that the use of mind-altering drugs among our political leaders here in Taxifornia is waaay more prevalent than I had previously suspected!) 

So it struck me that if these "Gun Free Zone" signs are such a good idea, and our highly-paid elected leaders guarantee us that they are, GUARANTEE us, then why not expand the program to include other sorts of illegal, immoral and antisocial activity?    

Of course, that sign didn't stop a killer from murdering scores of young people in a cowboy night club in Thousand Oaks last year.  Or from murdering a couple of dozen in a school in San Bernardino awhile back.  Or faithful adherents attending a synagogue in Poway, the Peoples' Republic of California.  Or kids in a school in Colorado.  All were - and are - clearly labeled "Gun Free Zones." 

There's a certified, Grade A bozo named Kevin de Leon (D-CA) who's President of the CA Senate.  He's one of those inveterate gun-grabbers you read about.  He's on record as telling us that if the current crop of "Gun Free Zone" signs don't stop would-be assassins, then he'd remake them using ALL CAPITAL LETTERS!  I AM NOT kidding!  God, I wish I was, but I'm not...

BTW, Mr. Leon added the "de" to his last name to make it less apparent he's just a garden-variety Mexican.  I think he'd prefer we think he's "Spanish." Like from Spain, doncha' know...

BTW also, he's on record as stating that we need a ban on high-capacity ammo magazines because "Once they run out of "clips" they're no good anymore."  Kevin, my boy, you're a stain on the undies of humanity.   

Yes, my friends, the degree of bozohood is that critical.  And it appears to be a pandemic, given the bleating from politicians and news anchors and actors and the hoplophobic pantywaists nationwide (look it up).

But let's stop and think:  Maybe he's right!  Maybe we've just not fully implemented his liberal wet dream!  Maybe we should even EXPAND it to include other illegal/antisocial activities!  Such as...

...   "Bum Check Free Zone"

...   "Burglary Free Zone"

...   "Speeding Free Zone"

...   "Misogynist Free Zone"

...   "Bad Joke Free Zone"

...   "Pervert Free Zone"

...   "Climate Chaos Free Zone"

...   "Pedophile Free Zone"

...   "Double Parking Free Zone"

...   "Indecent Speech Free Zone" 

...   "Pickpocket Free Zone"

...   "Bank Robbery Free Zone"

...   "Triggering Free Zone"

...   "Tax Evasion Free Zone"

...   "Racist Free Zone"

...   "Rape Free Zone"

...   "Hate Speech Free Zone"

And in California these days...

...   "Capitalism Free Zone"

There may be others we could focus our efforts on, but these would constitute a very good start.  Then, if we learn that these signs actually DO thwart the named illegal or undesirable activity (cough, cough), then we can expand their use to include every. single. illegal. activity. Every one. 

Or, should we learn that these signs don't work, don't reduce the occurrence of illegal activity, then we can stop the charade and TAKE THEM DOWN!  Even if we don't replace them with well-trained, well-armed folks to dissuade illegal activity, at the very least we'd stop making a fool of ourselves to the perpetrators who think we're stupid anyway... 

Remember:  Criminals are known for not obeying our laws.  That's why they're called "criminals."  Duh!  When we pass laws that criminals won't obey, we're just inconveniencing the honest, honorable law-abiders among us.  Which we do every day.  And also providing the impetus for rampant civil disobedience (good people don't like dumb laws!).

I'd like to say that one day, ONE DAY, common sense might somehow return to the District of Columbia and Sacrataxyou and the MainStreamMedia and Hollyweird and to those of a Progressive persuasion.  

I'd like to say that, but I can't...
