Original Note:
In order to facilitate productive conversation around this important issue.

This isn't the only policy, but it is one that has failed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun-Free_School_Zones_Act_of_1990 https://www.rand.org/research/gun-policy/analysis/gun-free-zones.html https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/hsph-in-the-news/does-creating-gun-free-zones-increase-safety/
