A new federal bill would allow those harmed in ‘Gun-Free’ Zones to sue for damages. Rep. John McGuire’s “Shall Not Be Infringed Act” would allow law-abiding citizens who are harmed in so-called gun-free zones to sue the state or local government responsible for creating them. The argument is simple. Gun-free zones don’t stop criminals; they disarm the people who actually follow the law. This bill doesn’t ban those zones outright, but it does introduce accountability. If a government restricts your ability to carry and you’re harmed in a place where you otherwise could have defended yourself, they may be on the hook for damages, including pain and suffering. There’s also real pressure behind it. States that refuse to comply could lose up to 99% of certain federal law enforcement funding, which forces a serious conversation at the policy level. At its core, this shifts the question from theory to responsibility. If the government takes away your ability to defend yourself, should they share responsibility for what happens next? What do you think?
