The root of violence is in the heart of people who have been taught they are just animals and so they behave like them – law of the jungle. Makes sense. When you take the equalizer of strength from the good guys, those who obey the law of the jungle do what animals do; they prey upon the weak. Hmm that makes sense too.

So if Dow really cares about violence and believes in data and logic, he would have an initiative to remove all so called “Gun Free Zones” alowing what good guys do best and maybe even endorse religion. Most any will do; some better than others, but almost all better than the law of the jungle taught in public school.

"If we can prevent one child, one innocent bystander, anyone, from being a victim of gun violence," says Constantine, "our effort as a community will have been worth it."

Note that the county does not collect fees on all property "public land" vacations (e.g. alleys) and exempts certain groups from various taxes.

Not saying it's good or bad, per se, but that one should always run the numbers. MOHAI was an example of that. Not a bad example, but an example.
