This is the Magnet Effect: the statistical reality that mass shooters bypass harder targets in favor of “soft targets” where they know the law-abiding have been forced to disarm.

Repealing the federal school gun‑free zones law isn’t a priority for most Republican legislators because it’s not broadly popular with voters (especially parents), it’s politically sensitive, it has limited legislative support, and it doesn’t clearly win many votes.
