Patrick Neville was a sophomore at Columbine High School on the day of the infamous shootings. Now he is sponsoring legislation to prevent what he and is classmates went through on April 20th 1999.
Whereas: Dangerous lunatics and terrorists target "Gun Free" zones and “Gun Free” zones force parents, teachers, and faculty to choose between becoming a felon and protecting the lives of our children; and
Whereas: The Supreme Court struck down the Federal "Gun Free" School Zone Act once before, but under the Federal Law Colorado can still legally authorize our citizens to conceal carry in public schools; and
Whereas: Eliminating "Gun Free" school zones will empower our nation's school teachers, faculty, and law-abiding parents to ensure the safety and well-being of our children; and
Therefore: We urge you to stand with Representative Patrick Neville and support HB15-1168 which will allow law abiding citizens to protect children in our schools.
