Despite all of this evidence, the magical thinking behind gun-free zones is unlikely to be questioned in the wake of the Newtown killings. Having such zones gives people a false sense of security, and woe to the politician or business owner who now suggests that a “gun-free zone” revert back to what critics would characterize as “a wild, wild West” status.

The "wild west" argument just doesn't hold up because the wild west was not as wild as the movies depict. Killings were not as prevalent as the studios would have us believe. A little research shows that killings per capita were lower than they are today and probably even lower than even in Great Britain today.

Well Fox News channel Fox and Friends has discussed much of that article this weekend.
