We owe it to our children to provide them with a safe learning environment &#8212; no other developed nation is subjecting their students to gunfire.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As educators we are focused on doing all that is possible to ensure every student has a safe school in which to learn,\u201d said National Education Association President Lily Eskelsen Garc\u00eda. \u201cToday&#8217;s report by Everytown is a stark and sad reminder of the continued epidemic of gun violence that plagues communities all over our country.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As mentioned, one of Everytown\u2019s touted successes is that it\u2019s been able to defeat \u201cgun lobby\u2019s efforts to pass legislation that would force guns onto college campuses in 14 states and defeated gun lobby-backed bills that would have allowed people to carry guns in K-12 schools in 15 states.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_32607\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/alan-gottlieb.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"everytown-school-shooting-map-proves-gun-free-zones-are-magnets-for-atrocities-says-gun-rights-advocate\" title=\"Everytown School Shooting Map Proves Gun-Free Zones Are Magnets for Atrocities, Says Gun-Rights Advocate\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-32607\" title=\"Everytown School Shooting Map Proves Gun-Free Zones Are Magnets for Atrocities, Says Gun-Rights Advocate\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-32607\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/alan-gottlieb-400x266.jpg\" alt=\"Alan Gottlieb, the chairman of the Citizens Commission for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms.

Check out our interview with Alan at SHOT Show 2015.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>That is to say, Everytown\u2019s been committed to ensuring that schools remain gun-free which is tantamount to making them soft targets for madmen, as Alan Gottlieb, the chairman of the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms and the founder of the Second Amendment Foundation, pointed out in an email to GunsAmerica.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The one thing it [the map] proves, which Everytown ignores, is that &#8216;gun free school zones&#8217; do not work and are a magnet for violent and crazy people to commit atrocities in a target rich environment,&#8221; said Gottlieb.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s more than a bit ironic that the very thing that Everytown is railing against is the one thing that will optimally protect students, teachers and faculty from a crazed and armed sociopath.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the day if we are to improve public safety across the board we need to empower the people and encourage more responsible individuals to prepare to confront evil should the need arise. That will mean different things for different people, but for many, it will mean exercising their Second Amendment rights.<\/p>\n<p>It is my solemn belief that we will save lives not through hoping and praying our laws work preventatively, but by taking action to learn how to de-escalate, disarm and destroy a threat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week, Everytown for Gun Safety released an interactive map that indexes each school shooting since 2013 in an effort to draw attention to the pro-gun control group\u2019s solutions for gun violence.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":45525,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[244,7,25,216,240],"tags":[132,122],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-45524","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-2nd-amendment-r2kba","8":"category-gunsamerica-authors","9":"category-current-events","10":"category-s-h-blannelberry","11":"category-this-week","12":"tag-buzz","13":"tag-r2kba"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Everytown School Shooting Map Proves Gun-Free Zones Are Magnets for Atrocities, Says Gun-Rights Advocate<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Everytown for Gun Safety released an interactive map that indexes all the school shootings that have occurred since the mass shooting at Sandy Hook.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/everytown-school-shooting-map-proves-gun-free-zones-are-magnets-for-atrocities-says-gun-rights-advocate\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Everytown School Shooting Map Proves Gun-Free Zones Are Magnets for Atrocities, Says Gun-Rights Advocate\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"This week, Everytown for Gun Safety released an interactive map that indexes each school shooting since 2013 in an effort to draw attention to the pro-gun control group\u2019s solutions for gun violence.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/everytown-school-shooting-map-proves-gun-free-zones-are-magnets-for-atrocities-says-gun-rights-advocate\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Gun Reviews and News | GunsAmerica.com\/Digest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/gunsamerica\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2015-10-07T04:21:44+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-08-19T02:22:58+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/SchoolShooting.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"400\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"S.H.
