The Effects of Gun-Free Zones

Gun Free Zone is designed to reduce violent crime, suicide, unintended gun injury and death, large shooting cases in certain places. Theoretically, areas without guns reduce or eliminate the presence of firearms in these areas, thereby eliminating the risk of firearm damage due to recklessness, conflict expansion or criminal acts. Alternatively, if the existence or potential existence of armed civilians can prevent violence, criminals are less likely to encounter armed resistance in these areas, so the gunless zone is a violent criminal Or be more attractive targets for mass shooters.

Two federal laws restrict the supply of firearms within schools or schools that offer primary or secondary education. The 1990 Gunless School District Law prohibited most guns within 1000 feet from the school, but it does not apply to individuals who have a national license (18 USC. 922). [1] In addition, the "gunless school law" in 1994 is applied to schools receiving federal funds and obliges schools to expel students who own guns at school premises for at least a year ( 20 USC 7961).

There is debate about how much perpetrators are targeting the gunless zone. Analysis of 133 large-scale shooting cases between 2009 and 2016 revealed that 10% of cases occurred in designated areas of gun-free areas (Everytown for Gun Safety Support Fund, 2017 b ). However, another analysis focused on public group gunfire between 1998 and 2015 and reported that 96.2% of cases occurred in areas without guns (Criminal Crime Research Center, 2014). The difference in these estimates is due to the difference in the definition of large-scale shooting cases - the latter study limited the analysis to public group shooting cases - but disagreement about classification of areas without guns It seems to be.

To evaluate the impact of gunless areas, the ideal data is fine enough to check the change in results in detail, especially in areas where gunless areas have been implemented or removed. However, there is no national database of areas without guns, and different decisions on how to classify these areas may lead to very different conclusions. Determining whether shooting incidents occurred in areas without guns, gathering information on local firearms policy, determining if there is a policy to allow or prohibit firearms in the place where the accident occurred, baggage inspection or baggage inspection etc. Whether there is a method of implementing the policy of magnetometer screening

No eligible study was found to indicate that the Gunless Zone increases any of the eight results investigated.

No qualified studies were found to indicate that the cancer zone did not decrease in any of the eight results we surveyed.

There is considerable controversy over the effectiveness of this 'gun banned area'. People who oppose these measures like OpenCarry.org point out that just as people who observe law are paying attention to symptoms and disarmament as well as other laws prohibiting fire related laws . Individuals or organizations trying to commit more serious offenses, such as armed robbery and murder, will not be intimidated by the signs of prohibited weapons. In addition, those wishing for massacre may intentionally choose not to carry guns deliberately, eg shopping centers, schools, and churches (regulations and signs are forbidden to carry weapons).
