Principal Burl Whatley has encountered firearms on campus and even heard shots ring out during a recent lunch period, yet he’s not exactly mourning the demise Wednesday of a federal law banning possession of a gun with in 1,000 feet of a school. Like other Texas school and law enforce ment officials, Whatley said the statute thrown out by the U.S. Supreme Court was not necessarily a primary line of defense against guns. “I don’t know that we lost anything when we had that ruling, because I don’t know that there was any prosecution un der that,” said Whatley, principal at El Pa so’s Coronado High. Ruling 5-4 in a San Antonio case, the na tion’s high court said Congress lacked the au thority to enact the 1990 Gun-Free School Zones Act because it does not fall within its authority to regulate interstate commerce. The act “is a criminal statute that by its terms has nothing to do with ‘commerce’ or any sort of economic enterprise, however broadly one might define those terms,” Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist wrote for the court. States have the primary authority to enact and enforce criminal laws, the court said. The decision denied the government's bid to reinstate a former San Antonio high school student’s conviction for carrying a gun to school. Alfonso Lopez Jr. said he was given the gun to deliver to someone else for $40 to use in what Lopez described as a “gang war” at Edison High School. Stephen Johnson, Edison’s principal at bite, att Ba "Sometimes the Supreme Court and the leg islators have to sit down and say 'Let's do what's right for the children.' I'm definitely against the decision by the Supreme Court." — Paul Strelzin, principal of El Pas 0*5 Bowie High the time, said Wednesday that he doubts the high court’s ruling will make much of a practical difference. “It wasn’t totally important because there are other gun laws. Obviously, we had state laws that said you couldn’t bring your guns on campus,” he told San Antonio radio station WOAI. ‘‘But it just gave it a little more weight, being a federal law. ... I’m concerned because we need all the tools we can get to help with discipline on the campuses.” Existing state law makes it at: ,e V felony for anyone but a licensed pei ljlpi or security guard to possess a firearr weapon on school property.
