Gun-free zone

A gun-free zone is a place where, by law or company or other rule, no person may bring a gun on-site.
The concept of a place where "people can be sure no one has a gun" is now controversial, for a simple reason: the United States has seen a raft of mass murders, all occurring in such zones.
Ironically, the Fort Hood venue where thirteen soldiers died, was a gun-free zone, per military regulation.
So also was Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.
