Instead of "open season" on home invaders, the more appropriate message should be "home invaders beware."

Senator Feinstein (D-CA) has introduced S.649 to amend the Gun Free School Zone Act. It would "clarify" language to ban guns not only "in" school, but also anywhere on school grounds.

Teenagers in rural America that keep a gun in their car so they can go hunting after school would face automatic school suspension for one year.

CONTACT the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions to OPPOSE this bill!
