Jim Cooper's reply on Allowing carry in schools...H.R. 35, the Safe Schools Act of 2013

Dear  Mr. Schroer:

 

Thank you for contacting me about H.R. 35, the Safe Schools Act of 2013. I am happy to respond.

 

This bill would repeal legal provisions preventing the possession of firearms in school zones. December's horrific school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut left twenty innocent children and six brave adults dead. This tragedy has rightly focused our attention on what we can do to prevent violence like this in the future, and I am willing to consider any proposal that will keep our children safe, regardless of politics. Nothing is more important.

 

President Obama has appointed the Vice President to lead a task force charged with proposing "concrete solutions" to curb gun violence. The Vice President announced its recommendations will be presented to the President no later than Tuesday, January 15 th . I look forward to carefully reviewing its proposals, and will be sure to keep your thoughts in mind going forward. I encourage you to keep in touch on this issue as proposals evolve in the coming months.

 

H.R. 35 has been referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary. While I am not a member of this Committee, I will be sure to keep your thoughts in mind should this bill come to the House floor for a vote.

 

Thanks for getting in touch with me. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me again with any other questions or concerns.

 

Sincerely,
 
Jim Cooper
Member of Congress
