In 1990 the Gun Free Zones Act was introduced

The Gun-Free School Zones Act (GFSZA) is an act of the U.S. Congress prohibiting any unauthorized individual from knowingly possessing a loaded or unsecured firearm at a place that the individual knows, or has reasonable cause to believe, is a school zone as defined by 18 U.S.C. § 921(a)(25). The law applies to public, private, and parochial elementary schools and high schools, and to non-private property within 1000 feet of them. It provides that the states and their political subdivisions may issue licenses that exempt the licensed individuals from the prohibition.

It was introduced by Joe Biden. It has had an effect on the number of mass school shootings- not a good one. Here is a breakdown of school shootings over time.

There's more

On October 9, the Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC) released a revised report showing that 92% of mass public shootings between January 2009 and July 2014 took place in gun-free zones.

The number of school shootings in the aftermath of the Gun Free Zone Act has skyrocketed. It doesn't take a genius to understand why.

I was checking to see if the Rock ‘outing’ fit in my ‘loose time frame’ and it turned up that someone was getting ready to out Rock and Rory had the same agent and the agent OUTED Rory first...it supposedly didn’t hurt his ‘image’ as he was considered a ‘bad boy’ anyway while Rock was playing virile he men...

I realize it is the National Enquirer but they have been right on occasion and since they ‘named’ (real and stage) everyone involved there probably is - at the very least - a dash of truth and since no one ‘died’ or got ‘sued to death’ probably true enough where no one could really ‘fight’ it..

AT least we realize HALF of it was true but even though he died of AIDS, did Rock every TRULY come out or was it just speculation?

Saw a great cartoon of PDT today and he is standing there with ‘the look’ and saying

THEY SAY I AM HITLER.

YET, THEY WANT ME TO DISARM THEM?

I seem to remember at the time that yes, he did come out just before he died.
