Mass shooters are completely unconcerned about whether or not an area is a “Gun-Free Zone.” A study conducted by Mother Jones found that, in 62 mass shootings over 32 years, there were exactly zero instances of a killer targeting a place because of a gun ban. New data from Mayors Against Illegal Guns confirm this point, by showing that in all 56 mass shootings between 2009 and 2013, “no more than one quarter of the shootings occurred in public spaces that were so-called ‘gun-free zones.” Neither the motive nor the location of a mass shooting, therefore, have anything to do with ‘gun-free zones.’

what you think there aren't crazy people in rest of the world !? lol … except they don't have access to machine guns!!!
… except they don't have access to automatic weaponry ! … and they didn't in th 19th century either!
...except they don't have access to automatic weaponry ! … there was about 3 % of the population back in the 1800s as there is now and they didn't have automatic weapons..

Is your unhinged triple-reply an attempt to provide an example of a crazy person in the developed world?

You've apparently somehow never learned this, so I'm going to educate you:

Virtually no one in America has access to automatic weapons. Only vintage machine guns can be purchased by the public. They are rare, and require a special federal permit, which is very expensive--not to mention the guns and ammunition themselves being very expensive. Most criminals can't afford them, and wouldn't risk losing them anyway in the commission of a crime.

The overwhelming majority of gun crimes, including mass shootings, are carried out with handguns: pistols and revolvers. Only a very small percentage of any gun crimes are done with a rifle of any kind.

You've simply seen too many Hollywood movies.

No automatic weapon has ever been used in a mass shooting in the United States. Never.
