We should not wait for our elected officials, in President Obama’s good words, “to come together and take meaningful action to prevent more tragedies like this, regardless of the politics.” We should do our share. One way to proceed is to mark our homes, apartments and condos, with a “gun free” sign. Parents should notify their friends that they would be reluctant to send their child over for a play date unless the home was safe from guns. Residential communities should pass rules that ban bringing guns onto their premises, clearly marking them as gun free.
Anyone who puts up such signs will become an ambassador for gun control, because they are sure to be challenged by gun advocates to explain their anti-gun positions.

Holy cow! Fantasy much? And 87.6% of statistics are made up on the spot. Lots of people want to believe this though
I just like the idea of people who want to ban guns, advertising that they don’t have any themselves.
Yeah “gun free” “trespassers will be shot” which apartment more likely to be robbed?
“Meanwhile, make our children safer by not allowing them to go to places that are not gun free.” I’m pretty sure every school where there has been a “school shooting” in my lifetime has been gun free. How can you then say children are automatically safer by only going to places that are gun free? Logic, who needs it?
