Gun Owners of America Cool

Stockman Introduces Legislation to
Repeal School Gun Ban!



Ask your Congressman to Cosponsor H.R. 35

“I have one concern -- protecting children from dangerous predators. By disarming qualified citizens and officials in schools we have created a dangerous situation for our children.” -- Rep. Steve Stockman (R-TX)

Dear Gun Owner
We told you that Rep. Steve Stockman would be the most aggressive defender of our gun rights on Capitol Hill.

He proved us right on Thursday, when he introduced the Very First pro-gun bill in the Congress, in the face of a tidal wave of anti-gun hysteria.

Congressman Steve Stockman has introduced H.R. 35, the Safe Schools Act of 2013 -- a bill to allow principals, teachers, and staff to possess firearms in order to defend their students.

Before 1996, American kindergartners didn’t have to fear that if a crazed gunman burst into their classroom, they would be nothing but sitting ducks.

Before then, they didn’t have to worry that federal law openly advertised that there would be no one to protect them.

“In the 22 years before enactment of ‘gun free school zones,’ there were two mass school shootings,” Stockman said. “In the 22 years since enactment of ‘gun free schools,’ there have been 10 mass school shootings.

“Not only has that bill utterly failed to protect our children, it appears to have placed them in danger,” said Stockman.

Indeed, it has.

Within a couple of years of the reenactment of the Gun Free School Zones Act, the Columbine tragedy occurred. And the series of copycat school massacres has shocked and saddened our country ever since.

Clearly, the gun ban is not working. And it’s past time to try a new approach.

It’s time to go on the offensive! It’s time to repeal gun control, rather than talk about “enforcing the gun laws on the books.”

We don’t want to enforce gun control laws -- that’s what makes innocent people, including children sitting in their classrooms, less safe.

Anti-gun zealots who have enacted one unsuccessful gun ban after another have come up with a slew of reasons why our nation’s lawmakers should be protected by an army of heavily armed guards, but our children should be vulnerable.

There is a word for this -- it’s “hypocrite.” It is time to protect our children with the same tools and the same zeal we use to protect our congressmen.

It is time to pass the Stockman bill and give real protection to our children.

Contact your Representative. Ask him to cosponsor H.R. 35, the Stockman repeal of the gun-free school zone ban.

I'm not supporting that. Teachers shouldn't have to carry guns and many are not fit.

If they are not fit to carry a gun then they damn sure aren't fit to be teaching kids.

That's not true. I'm not talking psychologically fit. I'm talking about shooting somebody. You have to have the mentality to actually kill somebody. Some people can't.

No one said it was mandatory.

Mine is a very dangerous profession. I know a lot of women who carry a weapon at all times. Sometimes I carry one be not very often.

It seems that teachers should have the same right.

You couldn't kill someone who was threatening you or your family? Really?

I'm not sure they still do but among the battery of tests you took 100 years ago upon entering the service were ones that told how easily you could handle killing someone. Depending on all those scores you might be offered certain specialized training and schools.

Who says it has to be teachers? There was a piece on ABC World News last night from a school district that are considering arming 4 people and they will not be teachers

I would think that a teacher would do anything within his/her power to protect those kids that he/she has been given the responsibility of. I would not want a teacher in the classroom that would not protect their charges.

no stress

No armed personnel at schools? Guess we need to call every junior college and university in America and tell them to disband their security forces. Seriously, thats the first thing that came to mind when everyone jumped on Wayne Lapierre for proposing armed guards at schools when in actuality except for K thru 12 we already do this. Its not a new idea and it has been working well.
