🎧 Gun-Free Zones: Disarming Victims, Not Criminals Your browser does not support the audio element. Adding new legal prohibitions or declaring public parks “gun-free zones” does nothing to deter someone intent on committing violent acts. Instead, these measures disarm only the law-abiding citizens who respect the rule of law, stripping them of their fundamental right to self-defense when danger strikes. A sign proclaiming an area a gun-free zone acts as a guarantee to criminals that their victims will be completely defenseless. Expanding gun-free zones and targeting firearm parts does not stop criminal violence — it merely ensures that when criminals inevitably break the law, innocent victims are left without the means to defend their lives.
