Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., introduced legislation Tuesday called the School Guardian Act that would redirect IRS funding to hire armed officers in K-12 schools.
Sen. Rick Scott first announced his legislation following the deadly school shooting in Nashville, Tennessee, which claimed the lives of six people, including three children.
The national program would be administered by the U.S. Attorney General. Funding would be given to each state, and then the state's chief law enforcement agency would administer the funds to schools that need armed officers. "Instead of spending billions of dollars to expand the IRS to go after American taxpayers, Washington can send a powerful message to parents about our true priorities by dedicating these funds to the School Guardian Act to provide block grants to states so they can increase school security at every school and keep kids safe," said Sen. Rick Scott.
