Article from the Washington Examiner by Pete Kasperowicz.
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., introduced legislation on Thursday that would repeal a 1990 law banning guns from school zones, a move that fits with his push to arm teachers and other school personnel so they can prevent school shootings like the one that took place in Florida last month.
Paul’s bill would repeal the Gun-Free School Zones Act of 1990 and all amendments to that law.
The law bans weapons in and around all public and private K-12 schools, with limited exceptions. Its supporters say the law is needed to reduce violence at schools.
But Paul is a long-time advocate of allowing some teachers to be armed, and has argued along with other conservatives that current law makes schools easy targets for mass shootings.

Obama and left murdered the children in Parkland, Florida
Obama’s Promise Program lowered Parkland Juvenal arrest numbers from 3000 to 600. Then is lowered the children disciplined and expelled, it lowered treatment of problem children; it lowered children arrested. So when one murders 17 kids. The police did nothing because they were part of the program. The Promise Program.

A major truth bomb that the MSM won’t touch that one with a ten foot pole.
Given that No Guns Here or Gun Free Zone hasn’t remotely worked, how about a more realistic approach, Armed Citizenry?
This is what EVERY republican should be doing, restoring the over 20,000 gun rights that have been infringed upon. Because of what the party platform demands and because they swore an oath to protect them.
