Wisconsin Republicans pass bill allowing some high school students to bring a gun to campus
The GOP-backed bill comes amid a national upsurge in gun violence

"Wisconsin Republicans just passed a spate of gun rights measures that include lowering the state's concealed carry age requirement from 21 to 18, effectively allowing high school students to carry firearms on school grounds. The decision was approved by the state assembly last Thursday as part of an ongoing Second Amendment push by the lower chamber's GOP majority.
Guns are typically banned on school property in Wisconsin, but according to The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, one of the measures would do away with this convention. The bills would also allow Wisconsinites with concealed carry licenses to bring firearms into churches as well as permit out-of-staters with a concealed carry license to bring guns into the state."
This bill would have been even better if they voted to allow guns into the state Capitol; I mean; if guns in church are ok; why are lawmakers not allowing them in the state Capitol building?? However, the good thing would be if indeed high school students of age can open carry in their schools..This helps protect other students and the community in multiple ways....first, it is obviously a deterrent to the next school shooter -- because that person now knows there could be multiple guns in the classroom that can return fire.
Furthermore, this will also cut down on other issues in our schools....like bullying...Bullies will think twice about picking on a kid for being a nerd or being fat if they know that kid is locked and loaded...Also, for the leftist teachers trying to attack a kid with CRT; they will think twice about it if they know a student is armed and ready to defend themselves against tyrannical government indoctrination.
