The entire concept of a gun-free zone is ridiculous. America is a drug-free, murder-free, theft-free zone using the same logic. It doesn't stop anyone. To make it a true gun free zone, there would literally need to be controlled access and checks for anyone entering said zone. Otherwise it's just words, and words and laws don't stop people that don't care about them. A gun-free zone is an invitation for someone wanting to harm others to attack it with as little resistance as possible.
No, it shouldn't be a civil liability. They should just know that posting the signs put a little blood on their hands.
NO NO you can't blame the owners of the establishment anymore than you can blame the makers of the gun or the gun show where he bought it( as an example)! Don't you see it's the same reasoning that the gun haters use to get gun rights destroyed. None of those components are what's responsible for the bloodspilled. The criminal is 100% responsible when we start to let the exceptions be made Like "Well if it hadn't been so easy to get, he wouldn't have done it". Chances are yes he would, but a percentage of the blame has been lifted.
Pretty soon. The gun is too easy to get, the laws are too lax we need gun restrictions, places should be better protected, even..(a touchy one) we need better mental illness treatment facilities and programs that can help and prevent this sort of thing. We end up with all of these excuses and releases of responsibility the Shooter winds up not really responsible at all, it's just all this stuff society has piled on.
ultimately the finger that pulls the trigger makes the final decision and has to be held accountable
