Yes, not only is it an affront to the Constitution, but as a practical matter is stupid. Take a map of a typical town and draw 2000’ diameter circles around every such regulated location. Then to the area inside the circle, add the area of regions not within a circle but tyranny-locked (like “land locked”) because they’re completely surrounded by rights-free zones. You’d probably be off limits in most of a typical town.

I am convinced that what you have described was *exactly* the intent of those who designed the law. It serves no reasonable purpose other than to whittle away at our Constitutional rights.

Consider how many people would be in violation sitting in their own living room simply because of their proximity to a school.

They have in effect lost their 2nd amendment rights because the fools in Washington passed a law after they chose to buy a house close to a public school.

Easy solution...clean up the law...and see who stands with you. I particularly HATE these kinds of laws since they can be used against people, or threatened against people, forever. If they never carry through with a trial, the law NEVER gets tested in court and hangs over everyone who happens to cross that invisible circle. For example, suppose it is late October 2012 and Sarah is giving a speech to the NRA and mentions that she’s carrying - and she’s 852 feet from a school. SWOOP!!, the feds, led by Eric Holder arrest her and it’s election over...
