Yes, it was a gun-free zone.

I wonder if they found an AR in the trunk of the car....

Nothing has been mentioned about that.

Nothing has been mentioned about that.

I was being facetious. That would be a reason to go after "assault" weapons again.

Yes, it was a gun-free zone.

I was looking for that.

Surprisingly, 10-10 WINS (NYC-oriented CBS station, if you aren't familiar) that opened the story with "It was a posted gun-free zone, but that didn't stop a gunman from opening fire in a theater..."

 

I have a bit more respect from them after hearing that. It's pretty obvious how ineffective a sign like that truly is.

You sure they weren't thinking...... "This gun free zone thing shoulda worked."
