It is extremely rarely about needle threading shooting prowess between rows of helpless progressive bowling pins. Studies are available, only for the objective news types, that show the known presence, not discharge, of guns, deter crimes against those who possess them. If it's a dead horse that can stand more beating, maybe the feel good policy of gun free zones can live in the hearts of progressives, but the signs could be taken down?
