The Houston zoo is no longer a "gun free" zone and liberals aren't happy.
Visitors to the Houston Zoo can now pack a little something extra besides a camera and picnic basket.

The nearly century-old institution recently lifted its longtime firearms ban amid a broader push by gun-rights advocates who are pressuring zoos in Texas and elsewhere to do the same.
Parents and children gathered last month to greet zoo visitors with warnings about the policy change, with some holding signs such as "Panthers not Pistols" and "Hey Gun Lobby, quit monkeying around!"
"Why would you want to bring a gun to the zoo? I mean that's kind of crazy," said Damian Manuel, a zoo visitor.
"There are places in our public lives where guns are inappropriate," Stephanie Lundy, a mother attending the protest, told KHOU-TV. "And the zoo is one of those places."
As Mark Levin has noted, there is no such place as a gun-free zone. There are only places where law abiding citizens disarm themselves, and criminals are free to commit mass murders at a leisurely pace. The mother quoted think zoos are inappropriate places for guns, but they are actually very appropriate places for guns, given that many visitors there are small children, many of them American citizens, who are defenseless against a mass killer. If this woman had a brain she would realize that she and her children walk around totally unprotected in a fenced off facility where a crazy person could kill with impunity. If she were smart she would realize that she would be safer if her fellow citizens were armed.
With this change I think the Houston Zoo has changed from a gun-free zone to a massacre free zone. ...
