More Florida classroom teachers could carry guns in school under a bill passed Wednesday by state lawmakers, the latest response to last year's mass shooting at a Parkland high school.
Teachers who want to carry guns in districts that choose to join the program would have to undergo police-style training, psychiatric evaluation and drug screening. Under a law passed last year immediately after the Parkland shooting, only teachers who also have another role, such as sports coach, are eligible to carry weapons on campus.
"This program would place students, teachers, and first responders at risk, when our focus should be on keeping our children safe and making schools places where students feel they belong," Tony wrote."Teachers enter that profession to educate children, not to serve as school security."
Seems like a bad idea
They had to at this point or hire at least 2 full time armed guards, 1 isnt enough. Its not the 1950s anymore
The result of this remains to be seen.
more guns ...what could go wrong
So they said to themselves 'how do we solve this gun crisis and lower the number of shootings in the area?' And they said 'more guns'.
How long before a teacher shoots a student. I’d say next February, but its florida so November.
Who does this really protect? Teachers are not trained to assess a threat. Teachers carrying guns are a threat to every innocent child that could be mistaken for a shooter. This should not be taken lightly this should not happen we have to be smarter than that. NO BANDAIDS!
Will not solve the problem, and may get more people killed.
That's the last time Ted turned in a research paper without a works cited
Seems his will simply make schools more dangerous for students ... and provide some students with ready access to a firearm by simply overpowering a teacher.
Guess moving there is out rpb
Another tradegy just waiting to happen. The answer to school shootings is not to put more weapons on campus.
Is that mindless act ? Weapon in school in any form is taking society to another Low level. What’s wrong with thought process ?
Although I agree that schools need to have protection arming teachers doesn’t seem like a good idea. They aren’t trained and do not qualify with their weapons. The police should be tasked with security. Maybe some resource officer program or school detail should be instituted.
I've often wondered about this. If they're is someone shooting inside the school. Just a teacher, or school employee firing a gun in a safe direction. I feel if the assailant only hears a different gun firing would make him think he's being fired upon.
This is both the good and the bad idea.
Worst thing ever.
😱😱😱
Florida is one baffling place
Florida is officially the dumbest state
I'm trying to grapple with the word 'Allowing'! TrumpsAmerica
WAHOOO!!! Let’s ARM EVERYBODY! Lunch Lady... You get a gun! Janitors... You get a gun. Kids... You get a gun!! Guns for all!!!
Fatigues/body armour?Automatics/midnight specials? Craaazzzy. Won't this just mean wackos will target teachers first Wouldn't trained/armed wardens/detectors/cameras be better/
... the result :
Really!? Stupidity!
I didn’t think it was a good idea till after yesterday now I might have to support this...
Nice!
Makes sense. Advertised gun free zones is simply an invitation for a nut job to come in and try and get their names in the headlines. Knowing there's good guys armed with guns that will kill you will hopefully stop these people.
Solve the cause not the problem ...the problem will get only worse
Good,fuck studying. teachers and mentally ill student exchange fire in a school, now, that's what i call lit.
Hard to argue against this, but the libs will figure out a way. How many times has a current or past teacher shot up a school? Likely 0, so no reason not to trust them with guns...
Vote Nazi. Get Nazi.
Yes, give more people in Florida, especially untrained teachers, guns. I'm just picturing a substitute teacher losing their schitt and opening fire.
Sounds like a bad decision but ok
Leftists would prefer teachers have nothing but their own bodies to protect their students with
Can't wait for everyone to treat this like a bad thing
They watched Kindergarten Cop a bit too much
