Florida House sends Stoneman Douglas gun and school bill to governor

Florida’s bill to arm some school workers, raise the age to buy a gun and take guns from people who pose a threat now rests in Gov. Rick Scott’s hands.

On Wednesday, the Florida House approved 67-50 a school safety bill crafted in response to the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.

Scott wouldn’t say whether he would sign it.

“When a bill makes it to my desk I’ll do what they don’t seem to be doing in Washington,” Scott said. “I’m going to review the bill line by line.”

1. We have to PRAY every teacher and school worker refuses to touch a gun on campus.

Otherwise our schools in FL will turn into shooting galleries.

2. Betty DeVos is sending them to BUD/S training

aka “SEAL training” but if they ring out they can’t get their teaching certification.

(Not to far from the truth FYI, she made up some nonsense about advanced police/military weapons and tactics training for teachers that are armed - what a loon)

3. Praying that the MSD kids get a taste of victory!

It's such an amazing thing for people so young to find their voices, organize, and channel their fear, grief, and rage into something positive!

4. Unless I am mistaken...

Didn't the FL Teacher's Association already have a vote that they wouldn't comply, even if this legislation was signed into law?

5. Everything else in the bill is a great start and the NRA must be pissing their pants, except

for the funding for arming teachers. But as you say if teachers refuse to be armed not a penny of that will be spent.

Which is why many Democrats voted for it. A good start and the insane arming the teachers will go no where outside the Fox bubble world.

6. Is the bill named "The Boarhog Teats Bill"? nt
