It turns out that it wasn’t an accident that attack in Minneapolis occurred at a gun-free zone. The murderer’s manifesto makes it clear that he purposely picked a gun-free zone. The murderer wrote his manifesto in Russian, but here is the relevant translation.
“I recently heard a rumor that James Holmes, the Aurora theater shooter, may have chosen venues that were ‘gun-free zones.’ I would probably aim the same way . . . That’s why I and many others like schools so much. At least for me, I am focused on them. Adam Lanza is my reason.”
Information on the Aurora movie theater shooter picking a gun free zone is available here and here.
On the same page, the murderer makes a common argument by those on the political right: “criminals with intentions are not going to follow rules!” As he points out, gun-free zones are a magnet for these attacks.
