House Republicans look to permanently eliminate gun-free school campuses across the country by reintroducing a bill to fully repeal the Gun-Free School Zones Act.

House Republicans are looking to permanently eliminate gun-free school campuses across the country by reintroducing a bill to repeal the Gun-Free School Zones Act.

Massie has tried and failed to repeal the Gun-Free School Zones Act in the previous two congressional sessions. House Republicans look to permanently eliminate gun-free school campuses across the country with the reintroduction of a bill to fully repeal the Gun-Free School Zones Act.The"98 percent" statistic cited by Massie was pulled from a November 2018John R. Lott Jr., who is also the head of the Crime Prevention Research Center.

On Monday, Massie referenced a Crime Prevention Research Center report that listed several cases in which concealed handgun permit holders allegedly stopped mass public shootings or other attacks."The day of the Virginia Beach shooting one of the considered taking a gun to work over concerns about a colleague, but didn't because of #gunfreezone," read the tweet from organization president John R. Lott Jr.

NRA in glory! Gun violence? More guns and prayers. Those go together. And hypocrisy. That spells GOP.

Praesidium | Short Film via YouTube

Because we don't have any other pressing issues right now

When will school uniforms include kevlar vests and helmets?

This makes absolutely no sense!

Because gun filled schools are so much safer.

They should also allow people to bear explosive. Last last, you people will get sense

land of the brain dead

Idiocratie

The whole world should be weapon-free

It’s their way of saying that aborting a life at school age is now completely acceptable.

We need ‘stupid free zones’ these days. 😂

Assholes

When did the GOP become so cruel? Go to the home of a Parkland parent, a Pulse survivor mourning a dead lover, a terrified music lover still shell shocked after Vegas and then introduce that reprehensible bill you cretins!!!! I tell you, the GOP has lost its soul!!!!

Unbelievable!!!!! 😡😡😡

Pretty sure all school areas are meant to be gun free. It shouldn't require a sign. Seems like dumb news to me!

WTF.

Gun-free zones are gun-free for a reason. 🤦🏾‍♂️

Is Congress gun free?

Nothing makes me feel more safe than untrained nonprofessionals in a gun fight. Let's get more of that going. Everyone should get a gun when they turn 18 and let's just arm all of America. Then we will finally be safe. It was like that during the wild west. Time to go back.

They are nuts.

The more the merrier? Somehow I can't understand how more guns reduces violence. Explain it to me.

The Democrats will leap right on that one, I'm sure.

Congress too. Inauguration events too? Concerts? Voting stations? Sporting events? National Conventions? Town halls? Debates? We need more guns? That's the problem? This will solve all our problems? Better get out your thoughts and prayers to see this plan in action!

Shooter's are really worried about those gun free zones...

Good. Schools are soft targets which is why they ate targeted.

When a gun is more important than Americans healthcare

Un-f*ing believable!

Yes, this is going no where.

The party of death and violence

Another great idea from the thoughts and prayers party.

Except the Congress of course... I wonder why if they found that such a good idea. 🤷🏾‍♂️

GOP - The party of hypocrisy and death.

What could go wrong?

What, No local control!!

WHAT THE FRESH HELL😱 VOTEOUTALLGOP EnoughIsEnough VoteBlue2020

Will they be adding the whitehouse and congressional chambers to the legal carry places?

They love children that much. Their poor kids.

State issue. Local issue.

Gringos are so weird.

Wait, this is to allow guns at school? So am i reading this wrong

Instead of endangering children, why don’t they start by eliminating all ‘gun-free rules’ at the NRA convention? Better yet, they can eliminate gun-free laws at the RNC too. Let’s see how it all works out on the lawmakers and their enablers first.

HarpaulAKohli demented

Idiocracy, thy name is the gop.

GOP is for free market education and socialized death by gun shot

Gun free except for teachers? And like the criminals care about gun free zones. Like men who beat their wife care about restraining orders. Just a waste words.

They represent the NRA not the voters

So, why can't I bring one into the Capital? Everyone, including me, would be so much safer. Right?

If this is the case Republicans I say guns should be allowed NRA meetings. Yeah, the only place the NRA doesn’t want guns is at their conventions. THAT is fuuuuuccckkeed up😡

Today’s gop everything to keep killing our kids.

Another reason we have a massive gun/murder problem - the GOP

HouseDemocrats make Congress a GOP free zone

What the fuck?! ImpeachDonaldTrumpNOW ImpeachDonaldTrump

Thank goodness that’s not getting past Pelosi. Symbolic maneuver to stoke division. “See, they won’t let us have our guns around small children! Outrage!” More GOPMafia misbehavior in behalf of hostile foreign enemies.

Why not?It's not like those signs are doing a damned bit of good. There are 200 school districts in the US that allow teachers to be armed.There also hasn't been a school shooting in any school that allows armed teachers.

JesseFFerguson BeCAusE LimiTEd gOVeRnMent

Because we all know, the more guns we have, the safer we are. 🙄

What a mess.. now next nra meeting, will guns be allowed? This is so sickening that it hurts my stomach just thinking about it.

kozusa22 And all government bldgs too...especially the Congress...

This is disgusting. I can’t believe that I was ever a Republican.

Good thing Democrats control the house. Pelosi can just ignore the bill and not being it up for voting.

JesseFFerguson Republicans doing real quality work in Congress, as usual 🙄

Children’s safety does not matter to them. Period. Stop electing these monsters.

Led by Massie, and co-sponsors include Matt Gaetz, Amash and Louie Gohmert. Grandstanding. Trying desperately to get Democrats on record as voting no on guns, those evil Democrats.

ONLY if HouseGOP eliminates gun-free zone in US Capitol. Let people bring their guns into your office building and your chambers BEFORE they bring them to kill our children!

The GOP should not have control of anything, including the TV remote.

gop HouseGOP you should pass this bill and the first school zones that should be impacted should be your children's schools You immoral soulless demons

If Republicans truly believed what they preach, they would eliminate the gun ban at the The Capital.

We just need to compromise more with these people? Excuse me?

Schools aren't shot up because they are gun free zones, if you don't know that, you also think FOX is news.

More insanity.. Lovely

VOTE THEM OUT!

Yes becaus lpolice need more targets.

Republicans Ned to work on GUN LAWS NOT POST IT NOTES ON DOORS!

Seriously?

Why stop there, why not allow guns in congressional chambers, into political rallies, on airplanes, why do they only want children to get shot?

🤦‍♂️

It’s about time most mass shootings happen in gun free zones. The attacker knows they can run up the body count until the police arrive

Americans are dying because of Republicans.

Ass holes!!!

Bringing guns to schools: what a brilliant idea! What could possibly go wrong?

Get rep larsons save social security bill out of committee, submitted 1/30/2019. Wont cost federal government a dime. Wall street wants SS to fail. Seems like all congressmen want it to fail too. Not an entitlement.

Will senate now allow guns in their meetings?
