Florida House sends Stoneman Douglas gun and school bill to governor
Source: Sun-Sentinel
Floridas 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 Scotts 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 wouldnt say whether he would sign it.
When a bill makes it to my desk Ill do what they dont seem to be doing in Washington, Scott said. Im going to review the bill line by line.

(23,946 posts)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.
