¨Who Should Be Armed in Florida Schools? Not Teachers, Lawmakers Say. But Maybe Librarians.¨ Patricia Mazzel This article involves the senate because they are making the laws, teachers and school staff because this is discussing who of those two should bare guns. Other people that this affects are the students because some might feel more comfortable and others might feel less comfortable with guns in the class or at school. Rick scott is a governor who argued that schools would not be safer with teachers being armed. This legislation happened on march 5th. The reason it happened was because of all the school shootings and the recent school shooting in Florida. Another thing that pushed them to do this were all the protests demanding for action on this critical matter of school shootings and that teachers should not be armed. The senate decided that it was time to take action on this problem and had a debate on what they should do and they all agreed to not let teachers who work full time in the classroom to have guns however they wanted to keep guns in schools. their solution to this was to arm librarians counselors and coaches no matter how closely they work with students. My opinion on this matter is that we shouldn't be arming school staff but law enforcement who actually have trained to deal with these things and are less likely to attack the students. Something I think would be much much better is to do the same thing as Australia witch is to completely change our gun laws. When Australia suffered from a mass shooting that killed 35 people in 1996 they decided to ban semi-automatic, automatic rifles and shotguns and had a mandatory buy back program for newly banned weapons. Ever since then there hasn't been a single mass shooting in Australia so I think we should use this information that has proven to work to change our laws and help our country just like Australia. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/05/us/guns-florida-schools-teachers.html article https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/27/us/gun-control-florida.html extra research https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/27/us/gun-control-florida.html
