It’s been nearly a year since the horrific mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. The Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Commission has been investigating and released a 446-page report, full of recommendations.
One of the recommendations? Train and arm teachers.

The commission investigating the Florida high school massacre has turned in its recommendation that teachers who volunteer and undergo training be allowed to carry guns.
The 15-member Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Commission on Wednesday unanimously approved the 446-page report containing that proposal and other recommendations.
I’m glad to see that they recognize that more “gun free zones” won’t save lives.
It’s now in the hands of Gov. Rick Scott, Governor-elect Ron DeSantis and the Legislature.
…
The Legislature would have to approve the proposal to allow teachers to carry guns. It’s opposed by the teachers union and the PTA.
What do you think? Is this the way to go? In the very least, schools need to have metal detectors and armed security guards on the premises.
