The Arizona House of Representatives has voted to repeal the state's gun-free school zone laws. Rep. Red Neckerson of Pleasantville said, “We may be last when it comes to funding schools but we think this proves we care about education and the three “R”s : reloadin’, rifles, and rugers. After the Governor signs this beauty we are hoping to revisit the issue of gun-free zones in daycares and nurseries. Arm ‘em when they’re young’uns I say.” The House Democrats introduced a bill prohibitiing Republicans within 1,000 feet of public schools that is predicted to be shot down in the House.
