Ron Paul introduces bill to eliminate gun-free zones (schools, campuses, etc)

[libertybrewcity]

Citizens Protection Act of 2011

Texas Congressman and GOP presidential hopeful Ron Paul continues to champion constitutional rights. His latest endeavor is a bill that would abolish “gun-free zones,” ultimately permitting teachers to carry firearms on school grounds. Predictably, anti-gun groups are calling the legislation “extremist.”

CNS News reports, “H.R. 2613, the Citizens Protection Act of 2011, would repeal the Gun-Free School Zones Act of 1990 and remove all federally created criminal safety zones.”

The Gun-Free School Zones Act was first enacted as section 1702 of the Crime Control Act of 1990. The text of the act reads, “It shall be unlawful for any individual knowingly to possess a firearm that has moved in or that otherwise affects interstate or foreign commerce at a place that the individual knows, or has reasonable cause to believe, is a school zone.”

Paul’s bill will permit individuals, including teachers, to carry firearms onto high-school and middle-school campuses.

Excellent. This will put Ron on the radar for a lot of gun owners who are not familiar with him.

And on the radar for many more people who think guns kill people. Gutsy

It's a shame that ears weren't ready to hear.

“It shall be unlawful for any individual knowingly to possess a firearm that has moved in or that otherwise affects interstate or foreign commerce at a place that the individual knows, or has reasonable cause to believe, is a school zone.”

So, if the gun was built in the state and has never left the state, it can be carried in a school zone? Is this their idea of a concession to the Ninth and Tenth Amendments?

Interesting bit of verbiage.

Guns in Church:

The statute that most clearly states the intent of “bring your guns to church” laws is a 1643 Connecticut
order, “To prevent or withstand such sudden assaults as may be made by Indeans upon the Sabboth or
lecture dayes, It is Ordered, that one person in every several howse wherein is any souldear or souldears, shall
bring a musket, pystoll or some peece, with powder and shott to e[a]ch meeting....”

Teachers 100% should be allowed to concealed carry in schools. It would stop a lot of this madness if the criminals knew schools were not a soft target. It would also save lives if a shooting incident started and the shooter was stopped before it escalated.

thumbs up for Dr. Paul !!
thats the logical thing to do after this, instead of trying to ban even more guns !

Excellent! Fantastic consistent hard work right to the very end. Do we have a list of things Ron Paul has done? This is yet another piece to add.

Guns don't kill people, but they sure make it a lot easier.

Bullets kill people.

Bullets kill people.

don't go there, they already are taking the position they can just regulate ammunition to the point of making guns unusable and call it 'not a regulation on the right to bear arms'

Powder limit 20# without a permit, primers 5k...like they will really know.

Powder Valley ships here no problem as well as Wideners, Midway, and several other outfits.

Gunshops are slowly dropping out as the restrictions placed on their businesses is slowly grinding them down. Big 5 usually nails you on loaded ammo, Turners isn't as bad and ususally stocks a limited amount of reloading supplies.

Most "exotic"ammo and tracers in general are no-no's.

Go to Calguns and read through their threads; you'll figure it out. Of course if you have a specific question, some of us locals may be able to help.

Any questions?

Better stock up on extra brass. Doubt you will be able to get that when they finally decide to go after ammo.
