Neb. Rev. Stat. § 28-1204.03

The Legislature finds that: (1) Increased violence at schools has become a national, state, and local problem; (2) Increased violence and the threat of violence has a grave and detrimental impact on the educational process in Nebraska schools; (3) Increased violence has caused fear and concern among not only the schools and students but the public at large; (4) Firearms have contributed greatly to the increase of fear and concern among our citizens; (5) Schools have a duty to protect their students and provide an environment which promotes and provides an education in a nonthreatening manner; (6) An additional danger of firearms at schools is the risk of accidental discharge and harm to students and staff; (7) Firearms are an immediate and inherently dangerous threat to the safety and well-being of an educational setting; and (8) The ability to confiscate and remove firearms quickly from school grounds is a legitimate and necessary tool to protect students and the educational process.
