.@RepLynnStucky This is why we don’t need unlimited undertrained teachers and school staff carrying guns around children. Vote against SB406 & SB244 if they come up for a vote in the House. Worried about rural schools? Put $$ for SROs whose job is security. #txlege
Need an example closer to home? This JUST HAPPENED in Mesquite ISD with a highly trained LEO. Unlimited #s of teachers who have a fraction of the training should not carry guns around kids. What if he had been in a classroom? Who would the bullet have hit? nbcdfw.com/news/local/Mes…
Need another example? I used to teach 1st grade. We sang songs, danced to math facts chants, & got up & down off the floor. I got unexpected hugs from 6yr olds every day. I pulled my chair up next to their tables to help them w/writing. al.com/news/birmingha…
Another highly trained teacher and SRO whose gun went off and injured students IN A CLASSROOM during a...wait for it...gun safety lesson. SB406 and SB244 would make these scenarios more likely in Texas. haaretz.com/amp/us-news/ca…
Need more examples? Here’s a list compiled by @GiffordsCourage of mishandled guns in schools. @RepLynnStucky please read and do the research before voting on these bills. giffords.org/2019/04/every-…
With current TX law, school marshals are only required to have 80 hrs of firearms training. These are not LEOs. They are regular people like me. That’s a 2 week, 8am-5pm training. SB406 & SB244 would allow unlimited undertrained school staff to carry firearms on their person.
One last thing to clear up any misconceptions. I am married to a Navy veteran who is a responsible gun owner. The unloaded firearm in our home is secured in a biometric gun safe with the ammunition stored separately. I’m not anti-gun. I’m anti gun violence.
