Ky Rep. Files Bill to Repeal School Gun-Free Zones

He doesn't get the national publicity Wayne LaPierre and Rand Paul get, but new Northern Kentucky congress repug Thomas Massie is giving them a run for their racist guntard motherfucker money.

James R. Carroll and Antoinette Konz at the Courier:

Kentucky Congressman Thomas Massie has introduced a bill to repeal the federal Gun-Free School Zones Act, a move that would allow people to bring firearms into the nation’s schools.

Massie, R-4th District, and Rep. Steve Stockman, R-Texas, introduced similar measures on the first day of the new Congress — and at the same time Democrats unveiled eight other bills to tighten the nation’s gun regulation in the wake of the Dec. 14 Sandy Hook Elementary massacre.


The Gun-Free School Zones Act states that it is “unlawful for any individual knowingly to possess a firearm at a place that the individual knows, or has reasonable cause to believe is a school zone.” But Massie argued that the zones are “ineffective.’


“They make people less safe by inviting criminals into target-rich, no-risk environments,” Massie said in a statement. “Gun free zones prevent law-abiding citizens from protecting themselves, and create vulnerable populations that are targeted by criminals.”

And he's not letting any of them pointy-headed libruls - otherwise known as experts - confuse him with the facts.

Critics, including Kentucky educators, roundly opposed the Republican congressmen’s proposals, arguing that schools would be less safe.


“The last thing our schools need is an open season for carrying guns on campuses,” said Brad Hughes, spokesperson for the Kentucky School Boards Association. “We do not support more guns in schools unless they are on the hip of trained law-enforcement officer.”


Rep. John Yarmuth, D-3rd District, who is advocating for stronger gun controls, also disagreed with the proposals from Massie and Stockman.


“The Gun-Free School Zones law is designed to keep students from bringing guns to school and to ensure that there are serious consequences for those who do,” Yarmuth said in a statement. “Repealing the law would make it more difficult to hold offenders accountable.”

Nor is Massie going to let anybody out-ni**er him.

Massie said his legislation is in answer to calls from President Barack Obama and others for tougher gun restrictions after the Dec. 14 elementary school shootings in Newtown, Conn., that left 20 children and six staff members dead.

Meanwhile, in Lexington, the guntards vastly outnumbered the Newtown mourners:

Local ministers urged a crowd of about 150, shivering in Triangle Park, to unite for interfaith warmth and comfort in dealing with communal grief. Meanwhile, a much larger crowd waited to get into the Lexington Gun & Knife Show across the street at Heritage Hall.

Nobody in this country who does not work for law enforcement needs a gun. But boy are we ever in desperate need of some Motherfucker-OFF spray.
