Why Gun-Free Zones?

I just can’t understand why politicians all over the country continue to create more and more “gun-free zones,” everywhere you go when they are demonstrably USELESS in stopping, or even slowing down “gun violence,” Instead INCREASING it by disarming the law-abiding, making them DEFENSELESS against the millions of ILLEGAL guns, already out there, in the hands of “bad guys,” who only want to do us harm. Not a one of their highly vaunted anti-gun laws does ANYTHING to stem gun violence, but they continue to make them in the face of solid evidence they do not work, and only make it easier for criminals to victimize the law-abiding. Gun-free zones are just about the WORST offender, since they only keep guns out of the hands of the law-abiding, making them “easy targets” for criminals, who just IGNORE their laws. Each and every mass shooting thus far has happened IN a gun-free zone. Something intelligent politicians ought to take notice of, but which they do not. How many more innocent people have to die before our politicians notice that their laws don’t work? I know they’re not stupid, even though they act like they are. I think they have an ulterior motive of disarming as many people as possible so they can later victimize them, themselves, under the color of the law. (The Hill)
