'This is disappointing, even for the low expectations we've learned to have for any form of gun legislation,' a state legislator told the Salt Lake Tribune.
A bill that would have made it illegal to carry a gun within 500 feet of Utah elementary and secondary schools was voted down by Republican lawmakers in the state.
Republican Representative Lee Perry, who voted against the bill, argued that the change in the law would mean “there will be people in violation every day,” reported the Salt Lake Tribune. Briscoe attempted to get the bill passed as a compromise, spurred on by calls for gun control in the wake of the February 2018 Parkland, Florida, school shooting in which 17 people were killed.
