As for Knife: the 19th Century American frontier featured no "gun free zones" and tons of concealed weapons; it is not a place in history generally considered "safe." You argue that fewer "gun free zones" and a more heavily armed populace will lead to more law and order, but almost all historical evidence points against that.
Did the people running those 19th century gun free zones just call it a gun free zone and then look the other way like our current politicians do? Or did they do stuff to keep it free (like collect before entry)?
See I think you're STILL missing the point and I'm repeating myself over and over. I wonder if politicians are actually SHOCKED or horrified that these massacres ALWAYS occur on gun "free" zones and they still don't do anything except call it gun free.

You're missing MY point. There were NO "gun free zones." Everywhere you went, people were packing iron. Contrary to what I interpret your philosophy to be stating, a well-armed populace did NOT reduce crime or improve public safety.
