In 1999 Obama suggested a law that would prevent all gun stores within a five mile radius of schools and parks (See Obama's Draconian Gun Control). The white area is the calculated exclusion zone for a 50 mile radius around Denver for just schools. Parks have not been brought into the equation yet. Each pushpin represents a school.

It is interesting to note that all of Boulder County east of the mountains is in the exclusion zone as is the entire city of Denver.

Update: The map has been updated and covers the I-25 corridor for all of Colorado. The exclusion zone extends from north of Fort Collins to south of Colorado Springs varying from about 5 miles to probably 60 miles wide.
