It claims the power to ban guns at an arbitrary distance (1000 feet) from a school, any school, not on school property. This makes virtually cities traps where you cannot exercise your right to bear arms without breaking the law. It should be repealed. Mass shootings in schools *increased* after the law was passed.
How many lives has this inane and unconditional law cost? The infuriating part is that WE WARNED YOU THAT WHAT HAPPENED WOULD DEFINITELY HAPLEN.
I wish that those people who passed this law could be held personally liable.
How about getting rid of gun free post office zones.
The Act neither regulates a commercial activity nor contains a requirement that the possession be connected in any way to interstate commerce. We hold that the Act exceeds the authority of Congress "[t]o regulate Commerce . . . among the several States . . . ." U. S. Const., Art. I, §8, cl. 3.Oh, that poor, tortured Commerce Clause!
Not sure what kind of tweak a RAT Congress used to overcome that. But obviously, the Federal Gubermint has no business passing such a law.
Strongly suggest you all read the SCOTUS case U.S. v Lopez, linked in the main post. Wow, been a long time since I’ve seen such clarity about the 10th Amendment. Also see what is said about not mandating a Federal curriculum in slapping down Breyer. Finally, see how far we have departed from what this case said was out-of-bounds for Congress.
How about military facilities being gun-free zones? Time to end this nonsense.
All schools? Even private schools? Shouldn’t they have the ability to allow ccw parents on campus if they so choose?

How is the thousand feet measured. If it is direct distance, the nicest sick myself and most of my neighbors are all within it .
