As tocomments about the FEDERAL GFSZA, this was taken from this site: http://wise.fau.edu/~tunick/courses/conlaw/gunlaw.htmlwhich is a copy of the actual congressional record.
The original act made it a Federal crime to knowingly bring a gun within 1,000 feet of a school or to fire a gun in these zones, with carefully crafted exceptions. The Gun-Free School Zones Act of 1995 does exactly what the old act did. However, it adds a requirement that the prosecutor prove as part of each prosecution that the gun moved in or affected interstate or foreign commerce.
