I really fail to see how any rational person can assume that there is some value in this rule.
Oh, yes, you can arrest them of course, but to do that you'd have to have police officers stationed at every school checking everybody who comes within a thousand feet of it.

Never will be enough police so it's a nonsense rule to begin with. Not to mention the fact that as has been stated it simply prevents law abiding individuals who might have been able to stop whackjobs from doing so.

It is in fact a particularly stupid rule in my opinion.
