Lawmakers Move to Arm Teachers In Response to Florida Massacre

Lawmakers in various states have launched proposals to arm educators after a mass shooting this week left 17 dead at a Florida high school.

In the Sunshine State, where suspected gunman Nikolas Cruz carried out his rampage Wednesday, legislators are drafting an amendment to a bill which would legalize the carry of firearms on school grounds.

“If passed, the bill would let employees carry guns on campuses if they passed background checks and were certified with training created by the state’s Criminal Justice Standards,” reports WFAA.
