I've been trying to figure out when the laws were passed creating "gun-free zones" in federal facilities, schools, etc.
I've been able to find the laws themselves:
The reason I would like to know when these laws were passed is that if there were fewer school/postal shootings before the laws, it would support the idea that "gun-free" zones do not make people safer.
Thanks,
