Rep. Thomas Massie Proposes Repealing Gun-Free School Zone ActBy Melanie Arter, February 26, 2018, 1:08 PM EST (CNSNews.com) – Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) told NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday that the majority of mass public shootings take place in gun-free zones like schools. To this end, he has proposed legislation repealing the Gun-Free School Zone Act on 1990, which makes it illegal for someone to bring a gun on school grounds. Massie said the solution to school shootings is putting more than one armed guard at school or allowing teachers to be armed, adding that “98 percent of mass public shootings happen in a gun free zone.” “And we’ve labeled all of our schools as gun free zones. We need to take those labels off, and put our kids in that two percent category of being safe, instead of being in that 98 percent vulnerable category,” he said. www.cnsnews.com/news/article/melanie-arter/rep-thomas-massie-proposes-repealing-gun-free-school-zone-act
