I oppose this gun ban
 

Since all but 2 or 3 mass shootings in the past 60+ years have been in "GUN FREE ZONES"; why are you creating a target rich environment for those who would do us harm.   The Governor has armed guards; aren't the lives of our state employees just as important?  It would seem the Governor does not think so which is not only sad but hypocritical as well. 

Has a permit holder ever "shot up" a Government building?  I know the answer, maybe those that support this ban should research this issue.

This ban is the result of ignorance and recent history has shown us it will only increase the chance of innocent people being hurt or losing their lives. 

It is too much to ask that our elected officials show at least a little cognitive reasoning? 

If this ban stays in place the answer is obviously YES.
