@#16 ... These shooters are sickos looking to take advantage of unarmed victims and they will attempt to do this if they know there is no deterrent. ...
My main question upon the passage of this law...
Did the teachers explicitly ask for this law to be passed?
If so, got a link?
Or, is this law just Republicans legislators posturing, trying to look to solve a problem in their usual wrong manner?
In mean, was this measure ever given a chance to see it if works?
Gov. Lee Signs Strong School Safety Measures Into Law (2023)
...Today, Tennessee Governor Bill Lee signed strong school safety legislation into law and recognized the investment of more than $230 million to strengthen safety at public and private schools across Tennessee.
"Nothing is more important than Tennessee students and teachers returning home from school safely each day," said Gov. Lee. "Every year since 2019, we've worked with the General Assembly to prioritize school safety, and this year, we've passed significant measures to fund an armed SRO for every public school, enhance mental health support and boost physical security at public and private schools across Tennessee."
At the beginning of the 2023 legislative session, Gov. Lee introduced a bill to strengthen physical security at every public school and enhance accountability in school safety protocols, in addition to an initial budget proposal that included $30 million for 122 Homeland Security agents to serve students at both public and private schools in every Tennessee county. ...
So... to my eyes, this current bill seems to be Republicans posturing.
But why?
Maybe because posturing is all the Republican Party has to offer recently?
