Classroom teachers can have guns. Painful debate marks final passage by Florida House.After about seven hours of angry, sometimes deeply painful debate about race and gun violence that spanned two days, the Florida House passed a bill that would allow classroom teachers to be armed in an expansion of the program it created last year after the Parkland shooting.
The bill is now on its way to Gov. Ron DeSantis’ desk. For teachers and other staff to be armed, school districts must opt-in to the so-called “Guardian program,” which allows teachers and other staff to volunteer to carry a gun on campus after undergoing screening and training by a local sheriff’s office.
If the police will not protect your kids, and the school faculty/staff/administration cannot protect your kids, who will?["T]the commission created to investigate the failings of the Parkland shooting issued a report that recommended the Legislature allow classroom teachers to be armed. Last year after Parkland, lawmakers created the “Guardian” program that allows staff to carry guns, but excluded teachers who “exclusively perform classroom duties” as a compromise. This bill would undo that exception.
Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Naples, pointed out the fact that the law enforcement officer assigned to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland did not engage the shooter.

Finally - some common-sense gun control!!!
Why does anyone think is is a good idea to leave schooklids unprotected by people with the means to project deadly force onto someone bent on shooting up a school?

I'd love to see some nut job get taken out by a teacher at a classroom door. pop the dude ten times. pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop. then blow the smoke away, and say, did I shoot nine shots or ten, to be honest, in all the chaos, I lost count myself.

More or less sense than leaving schoolkids defenseless?That sure makes a lot of sense.
Yeah it does. A sign that states "teachers are armed" instead of "gun free zone" will be a better deterrent than anything the loons can come up with. .That sure makes a lot of sense.
