Gun-Free Zones and Reality

An article in the Chicago Sun-Times hits the nail on the head about the absurdity of "Gun-Free Zones":

"...at Virginia Tech... the administration has created a "Gun-Free School Zone." Or, to be more accurate, they've created a sign that says "Gun-Free School Zone." And, like a loopy medieval sultan, they thought that simply declaring it to be so would make it so. The "gun-free zone" turned out to be a fraud -- not just because there were at least two guns on the campus last Monday, but in the more important sense that the college was promoting to its students a profoundly deluded view of the world."
