“I rise today, on behalf of myself and Senator Feinstein from California, to once again encourage in the strongest possible terms that the conference continue to keep in the conference report a provision that we passed here in the Senate that deals with gun-free schools. Senator Feinstein, myself and some others, offered a provision in Goals 2000 that is very simple and very direct. It says we want every school district in this country to have a policy and the policy should be simple: If you bring a gun to school, you are expelled for a year. Guns and schools do not mix. Guns have no place in schools.”
