WI legislator, Rush Limbaugh misfire on Oregon shooting
It might have been a coincidence, but the inaccurate "gun-free zone" statement that the Journal Sentinel posted today at 4:41 p.m. from Wisconsin State Rep. Bob Gannon, (R-Slinger) about yesterday's mass shooting on an Oregon community college campus sure sounded a lot like Rush Limbaugh's ranting at noon today about guns and schools and President Obama.
Gannon:
Real Gun Control:
In the wake of the recent shootings at a junior college in Oregon, President Obama quickly stood at the podium and proclaimed that this is the fault of the N.R.A., and that we need stricter gun control legislation.
What Obama ignored was the testimony of the students and educators at the school that they were defenseless in this incident as the school was a “gun free” zone. This means that only criminals will possess personal protection at these locations, and the law abiding citizen is an easy target...Limbaugh:
Another Tiresome, Sickening Liberal Response to a Gun-Free Zone Shooting
What I mean is tiresome is the predictable reaction of things like this. The absolute lack of common sense reaction to stuff like this from President Obama, to everybody in the media. For crying out loud, folks, they had gun control on this school. There weren't any guns there except in the hands of the bad guy. You want to know what gun control is gonna do? You just saw it.
Every one of these school shootings is a gun-free zone. The left has everything they want on these school campuses. No guns!..
This bears repeating. Everything the liberals want, they already have at practically every school in this country. They have a gun-free zone...

I heard that it was NOT a gun-free zone. Why don't these people make sure before they go to print or open their yaps about it. Besides this guy would have gone in there with guns anyway. Saying something is a gun-free zone doesn't mean someone with a gun won't go there with guns.
@my5cents...
Correct... Law abiding citizens actually recognize the "gun free" zone, criminals and killers don't, which is why it is absurd to have "gun free" zones, because the only people with guns will be the criminals. The only thing a "gun free" zone does is notify the shooter that nobody else will be there to stop him.
I guess if that is how you want it to be, "gun free" zones really work.
What my5cents said...I too, heard it was a gun allowed zone and that the county sheriff is an oather who wrote the Pres. a letter about not honoring any new gun laws the gubbermint brought forth.
I e-mailed Mr.Gannon following his news release and offered some facts questioning his call for more guns and more concealed carry as the way to prevent theses recurring mass slayings and the overall firearm violence in this country. An aide must have asked Mr. Gannon how to respond and obviously took him literally as this is the response I received: "JUST DELETE IT AS HE RAMBLES ON"....b g. I thanked Mr. Gannon and expressed my hope that other legislators paid by the taxpayer and holding opposing views received the common courtesy of a response not an insult. I did suggest to Mr. Gannon that he must represent a very secure gerrymandered district that he felt no problem with insulting a voter and that voter outrage is not one of his concerns!
