That's basically what the NRA is proposing. The problem with allowing this on a local level is that there's a federal firearms law that prohibits firearms from being within 1000 ft of a school. The fact is that if you drive your car on the road the school is located, you have just violated federal law. I think that this issue is such a hot-button topic, the only fair way is for the local people to decide what works for them. Regardless, TRAINING TRAINING TRAINING. Steve
You must be talking about Florida, and as far as I know it isn't a federal law. Here in Texas we can go on to school property carrying our concealed weapon (with a CHL), we just can't go into the school.
Good guys with guns stop bad guys with guns. The answer is more guns (but only for "good" guys)!
Bad things happen in all 1st world countries, but why is it only in the USA that mass shootings happen so often that they are not rare? Has American society gone bad? Or could it be that of all the first world countries only the USA has so many guns?
who says it doesn't happen in other nations? Do some research on violent incidence in other nations. Not just gun violence, but bombings, knife attacks, clubbings, etc. Look at it per capita so the #'s aren't skewed. Come back with your findings and let us know what YOUR answer is to protect our kids NOW.
Rob, Bart only joined today.
Steve, if you really believe that if you took all the guns away from America that "some whackjob will take an SUV, crash a gate and run over bunch of kids hopping off buses at school" then how do you explain that this SUV or other kind of carnage not happen in the rest of the 1st world on a regular basis like gun violence does in America? I hope you don't think that we are fundamentally a "bad" nation compared to the rest of the 1st world.
Bart sure seems to be just like old Bart... who seems to post same positions as old Bart.... hmmmmmm.

You mean 'Bert'? Nah, Bart is nowhere near the level of vitriol and hate as 'Bert'.
