You can't drive through most small towns or large cities without being within 1000 feet of a school. You can't drive down most interstates more than 50 miles without being within 1000 feet of a school. The purpose of the law was not to be enforced immediately. It's obviously unenforcable at the moment.
However, what will happen is that cops will tack it on to other charges for a bad guy who does something within 1000 feet of a school. The bad guy won't appeal that particular charge because his sentence for that crime will be very small compared to his other charges. That happens a couple times.
Then the cops will use it to get people who they know are doing something wrong, but can't catch 'em - just pull them over within 1000 feet of a school and search the car. Then it will be people who piss off the cops with all that "constitution" nonsense. By this time, it will have been prosecuted successfully so many times that nobody will be able to appeal and get it overturned on a Constitutional basis.
At that point, they can set up checkpoints like the drunk driving checkpoints they have now. On certain roads, they will check your car for guns, and WHOOPS you drove within 1000 feet of a school on your way to the range. Get pulled over anywhere in the city? Better know which roads don't go within 1000 feet of a school, and tell the cop that's where you went. Live within 1000 feet of a school? You can't take your guns out of your house, you can't buy a new gun and bring it home.
This is a law which effectively bans gun ownership for a large portion of the population, which is just not being enforced ... yet.
