Quote:Washington Post: Gun Violence Declining, Except in Gun-Free Zones

On December 3, The Washington Post reported that gun crime has been on the decline for about 20 years, except for high-profile shootings in gun-free zones; WaPo claims those shootings are on the increase.

According to WaPo, “In 1993, there were seven homicides by firearm for every 100,000 Americans. … By 2013, that figure had fallen by nearly half, to 3.6 [per 100,000].

Hold on a second...

Did anyone read Teh Washington Post article this references? I went there and it's all about the decline in gun violence, but I don't see anything about gun free zones. This appears completely made up. I even searched the terms "gun free" and "zones," but these words do not appear in the article.
