SPECIAL | Tennessee gun law: Will armed teachers make schools safer?
Manage episode 419680822 series 1728074
On March 27th, 2023, a mass shooter at the Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee, opened fire, killing three students and three staff members. In the aftermath of yet another U.S. school shooting, Tennessee legislators passed a bill permitting teachers and other school faculty to arm themselves. They’re not alone. According to the Giffords Law Center, roughly half of all states allow school employees who have concealed carry permits to carry firearms on school grounds. Opposition to the Tennessee bill has been fierce. Still, the question remains: how do we keep our schools safe from gun violence? Rachel Wegner, children’s reporter for The Tennessean, part of the USA TODAY network, joins The Excerpt to discuss Tennessee’s controversial new law.
