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 Friend,
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.

It's time for a new form of gun control... when you aim at a target, make sure you hit it! Now that's gun control.
It's time we use the internet for home schooling. This way children are not grouped at one place as a target. And everyone win's, we save on saleries, lunch's, and utilitys. Maybe less property taxes???
I'll give up my guns when the Secret Service gives up theirs...you first, Obama...
