From The Buzz: Despite Parkland’s opposition, Florida House panel votes to arm teachers:

After vote, Speaker Richard Corcoran takes credit for ending 'gun-free zones' in classrooms

Facing anguished relatives and classmates of shooting victims, a panel of Florida legislators took the unprecedented step Tuesday of creating a new statewide program to put armed teachers in classrooms — over the vocal opposition of Parkland residents.

Voting along party lines, the House Appropriations Committee approved training teachers to carry guns in class under the direction of local law enforcement — if superintendents or school boards approve.

The Senate Appropriations Committee approved a similar bill later Tuesday.

They've already rejected a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines!
