Pretend 'Gun-Free' School Zones: A Deadly Legal Fiction

Ran across this a couple of years ago as a rough draft. It was later published in the CT Law Review.

The paper can be downloaded here.

EXCELLENT article!
This should be mandatory reading for all lawmakers at ALL levels.

Yes, that's a very well done article, and highly relevant to today's political climate. I recommend it to all.

Calling these farces what they really are, "pretend gun free zones," in contrast with what a real "gun free zone" would have to be, has quite a bit of punch in debates, and I have tried to adopt the term.

Recommended.

Yes, but they may not be able to understand it unless it is put in short sentences of 2-3 syllable words....like their talking points they get....

This is a thoroughly researched and thought through article. Looks like a very effective tool.
