let me be simple. You insuring that law abiding citizens provide a 1000 foot radius gun free zone around elected official does not insure the elected officials safety from law breaking citizens inside that radius.

Its another pointless law that accomplishes nothing but punishing law abiding citizens that might accidentally walk to close to a politician.
Not to mention its virtually unenforceable. I live near a representative, how would that effect me on a walk around my neighborhood?
so did the congresswoman die?
Liam & G, et al, said it's hard to use a gun in a crowd. I agree.
Without one, it's impossible to protect yourself. Crowd or not, the shooter can be 5 feet away, turn toward you with the gun and you're defenseless. Yours and rep. King's solution hasn't helped the situation at all. It's as stupid as blaming palin.
Further, elected officials don't always have crowds around them. In fact, it's rare. They shop, dine, travel, go to movies, etc.
You want to outlaw guns in certain areas. Then, only outlaws will have them in those areas. Where has this worked?
Unless you're going to secure the area, and search and screen everyone, your solution causes more problems than benefits.
edit: You can't lower the risk from some deranged individual hell bent on causing chaos unless you forfeit all of your freedoms.
You.Pete and Repete were on a boat. Pete jumps out. Who is left on the boat?

"That Scott down there that's running for governor of Florida," Mr. Kanjorski said. "Instead of running for governor of Florida, they ought to have him and shoot him. Put him against the wall and shoot him. He stole billions of dollars from the United States government and he's running for governor of Florida. He's a millionaire and a billionaire. He's no hero. He's a damn crook. It's just we don't prosecute big crooks."
