Posted this on Fields and Morse's Facebook, and emailed it to the wavering Democratic reps:
I notice that at every entrance to every courtroom and legislature is a sign that says “Gun Free Zone” or something similar. This notice is also posted at the entrance to school where I drop off my children every morning. Yet every courtroom and every building has metal detectors, armed guards and quite likely undercover security with concealed handguns to protect this “gun free zone”. I’ve yet to see any metal detectors, armed guards or alert looking men in suits protecting my children’s school.
The presence of armed security, both overt and covert, at the Colorado House of Representatives, the Senate and the Capitol tells me that each and every elected official knows, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that gun free zones don’t work, that they only be safe with armed guards and men with concealed weapons. We know that they know that gun free zones don’t work, as those who support anti-gun laws continually bring up the recent tragedies where madmen entered gun free zones in Aurora and Connecticut to kill unprotected civilians. We don’t see any of these leaders willing to give up their own overt and covert security that protect them in “gun free” safe zones, yet they’re focusing their efforts and our tax dollars to make sure that our children are forbidden to enjoy that same level of protection.
Why do Colorado Democrats hate our children so much?
