Seems like the GFSZA violates the takings clause as it is being applied to private property near the school without compensation.

The GFSZA was found to be unconstitutional in 1995, because the federal government did not have the authority for it.

Then President Clinton and Janet Reno pushed to add 12 words to the law. Five circuits have upheld the law based on those 12 words, three circuits have held the 12 words do not heal the constitutional defect.

All that was before the Second Amendment decisions in Heller, McDonald, and Bruen.

The GFSZA is clearly unconstitutional, given the guidance in the Bruen decision.
