"Gun-Free" Zones?

"An organization called 'Gun-Free South Africa' has been lobbying relentlessly to get all schools in SA declared 'gun free.' This means that even police officers are not permitted to come on school property while armed.

Yesterday, a father and his daughter were robbed, AT GUN POINT, on school g rounds, where they had gone to pay school fees. It seems someone keeps forgetting to tell criminals about the new policy!"

Comment: Violent criminals will predictably strike where they perceive the softest targets to be. "Gun-Free" areas are really =80 Criminal Empowerment Zones." Naive Socialists, who persistently look upon personal helpl essness as a virtue, believe that "being a good victim" is one's ultimate civic duty. To them, victimhood is a way of life. It is an cheerless life indeed!

"We have discovered that the scheme of 'outlawing war' has made war more like an outlaw without making it less frequent, and, that to banish the knig ht, does not alleviate the suffering of the peasant." C.S. Lewis
