On January 08, 2013, by SherlockHolmes67 - I'd have to see the actual text of this bill before deciding one way or the other. It could be another gun control scheme with a cuddly title.

On January 10, 2013, by 530i - While this won't solve the problem, it is certainly a common sense step in the right direction. The bill essentially says, declaring schools as Gun Free Zones has been a deadly failure and only send a message to all the mass killers, that schools are the best place to go. The bill seeks to end the stupid failure of a policy.
