The GOP gubernatorial candidate has introduced legislation to allow employees to carry firearms on school grounds in response to the Uvalde, Texas, mass school shooting incident. His Democratic opponent, Attorney General Josh Shapiro, opposes that idea, favoring putting a mental health counselor in every school instead.

2022 Pa. governor candidates Doug Mastriano, left, and Josh Shapiro have differing views on the topic of allowing school employees to carry a weapon on school grounds. School employees with a license to carry a firearm would be permitted to carry a weapon at work under legislation introduced on late last week by state senator and Republican gubernatorial hopeful Doug Mastriano.

Excellent plan. The alternative hasn't worked.

The paid trolls are trying hard to make everyone believe this is a bad idea

As an educator, this is terrifying.

This is absolute insanity. So much could go wrong with this. Not to mention, if teachers wanted to go into security/ law enforcement, they would have. Let teachers teach.

Good. Next we forgive property taxes for homeschoolers.

Great idea.

And when an armed teacher feels threatened by a student/students who do not know said teacher is armed & in a moment of panic or bad judgement draws & fires.... what will the next great idea be then

Buying guns with our education tax dollars How is your child behaving in school

There were close to 400 trained and armed law enforcement officers on site during the Uvalde massacre. Tell us again about the good guy with a gun. 🙄

The teacher who was shot in Texas reached for her phone to dial 911 but was shot before she could pull it out. So, would we just keep the gun aimed at our door while we teach each day? Where would I leave the gun for a sub, with my lesson plans? stupididea

There is something wrong with Mastriano. An armed citizen militia will lead to a disaster!!! The trained Uvalde police couldn’t even take down a shooter, THERE IS EVERYTHING WRONG ABOUT MASTRIANO FOR GOVERNOR!

Shotgun Fetty says to arm yourself with a shotgun and drive after innocent joggers.

Armed teachers is ridiculous. If teachers wanted to carry they wouldn't be teachers. Harden the schools and add more armed security

So he doesn't trust teachers to teach history or sex ed or science or literature or make curriculum decisions or basically do any aspect of their jobs but he trusts them not to accidentally (or intentionally...lets be real here) shoot students and coworkers?

28 states have a Marshal Program: About 36% of school districts in Texas allow certified trained staff to carry firearms on school property. Uvalde wasn’t one of them. I will bet they will now.

If the cops in Uvalde were too scsred, you think a 5th frade home ec teacher is the answer? This dude is completely unhinged.

As the mother of a child in a PA school, this is absolutely terrifying

400 trained police officers in Uvalde wouldn't stop an armed man, yet he expects a teacher to? Many teachers are already leaving. The shortage will become worse if this is enacted

Mastriano is a menace. Has he spoken with teachers about this? My beloved late wife was a teacher, I wouldn't have trusted her with a gun at a gun range. Guns were just not in her, and I'm sure there are millions of other teachers who are in the same situation.

Of course. More guns is always the answer.

👍

Ok there sparky arm staff, yeah that will end well. God forbid if a armed member has a bad day

. GOP: Don't Trust Teachers w/CRT GOP: Trust Arming Teachers w/Guns Typical fascists. .

Of course, what bad could come out of this? This 'nut-case' can't be good for our state!! religiouszealot gunadvocatewarrior Vote Shapiro!!!
