REPORT: 92 PERCENT OF MASS SHOOTINGS SINCE 2009 OCCURRED IN GUN-FREE ZONES On October 9, the Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC) released a revised report showing that 92% of mass public shootings between January 2009 and July 2014 took place in gun-free zones. The CPRC report was released in response to an Everytown for Gun Safety study claiming only 14% of mass public shootings took place in gun-free zones. Everytown actually claimed 86% of such incidents occurred in places where guns were allowed. CPRC showed that the 86% claim rests on Everytown's "inclusion of attacks in private homes" and "numerous errors in identifying whether citizens can defend themselves." For example, Everytown "[ignores] rules that prevent general citizens from carrying guns [for self-defense]" in certain cities, and they fail to recognize that "allowing police to carry guns is not the same thing as letting civilians defend themselves." continued with links... www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2014/10/11/Report-92-Percent-Of-Mass-Shootings-Since-2009-Occured-In-Gun-Free-Zones
