The History of The Gun Free School Zones Act - Ep.7 History In The News
-
- News Commentary
What is the legislative background of one of the most critical school-safety acts in our history? What has the effect of this act been upon our schools?
Today, we are breaking down the Gun-Free School Zones Act of 1990 and discussing it's implications and application. I hope to take a no-nonsense approach that is critical of the approach taken by both sides of the political spectrum in order to drill down on what will actually help stop this wave of unfortunate events.
We also take the time to recognize the heroic actions of Jacob Albarado who was the key player in ending the mass shooting in Uvalde, TX.
