Republican lawmakers in Tennessee voted to advance a bill that would allow teachers and other school staff to carry a concealed handgun, one week after six people were killed at a school in Nashville.
in Ohio requires no more than 24 hours of training for a teacher to be able to wield a gun on campus. Meanwhile, the overwhelming consensus among gun safety advocates, teachers’ groups, and school security experts is that it’s not helpful in any way toward solving the problem.said Kenneth S. Trump“These bills are about rhetoric and distraction—they’re not about solutions,” Rob Wilcox, federal legal director at Everytown for Gun Safety,.
“If you were to introduce guns into schools, not only is it ineffective, but you’re introducing more risk. How will guns be stored? How will folks be trained? When will guns be used? How do you ensure kids won’t get access to them? How do you ensure a gun isn’t used in a tense situation at school? These are all critical questions about this type of legislation that never gets answered.
