Joe Biden's GUN-FFEE SCHOOL ZONES ACT of 1990 - A SCHOOL SHOOTER' S BEST FRIEND!!!
I BLAME JOE BIDEN AND H.W. BUSH...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This law was introduced in the U.S. Senate in October 1990 by Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr. of Delaware and was signed into law by President George H.W. Bush.
The Gun-Free School Zones Act (GFSZA) is an act of the U.S. Congress prohibiting any unauthorized individual from knowingly possessing a loaded or unsecured firearm at a place that the individual knows, or has reasonable cause to believe, is a school zone as defined by 18 U.S.C. (Title 18 of the United States Code)
The law applies to public, private, and parochial elementary schools and high schools, and to non-private property within 1000 feet of them.
It provides that the states and their political subdivisions may issue licenses that exempt the licensed individuals from the prohibition.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Since our nation's founding from 1776 (1st one in 1893) to 1989 there were 8 school shootings (60 deaths) and some of these were by government officials - not a disgruntled gunman coming to a school randomly shooting people.
BUT...since this law was passed in 1990 there have been 15 school shootings (199 dead).
So in the 214 years PRIOR to the Gun-Free School Zone Act there were 60 people killed in 8 school shootings while in only 27 years SINCE this law was passed there have been 199 people killed in 15 school shootings.
ALMOST TWO TIMES the number of shootings in ONE EIGHTH the number of years.
Am I the only one who sees a DIRECT correlation here???
