Well, the text for this one isn't available for review yet.  The title sounds good but the devil can be in the details... we'll have to wait to see the actual language.

This will never make it out of committee, as it says "gun free zones" are unsafe.  The Congressman that introduced it states that the law it repeals goes against the 2nd Amendment.
When seconds mean the difference between life and death, the police will be minutes away.

You are either SOLVING the problem, or you ARE the problem.

He's right it does violate the 2nd A.
It would have to pass to enable arming teachers though.

Not necessarily. The "Gun Free School Zone" states that it doesn't apply to those that have a CCW, issued in the state where you live, among other exceptions.  :-\
