The Des Moines Register is inviting and assisting mass murderers to come kill Iowa school children.
By contrast, in Florida they are protecting their school children.
Public and private school principals could designate teachers and other school employees who would carry concealed weapons on campus at all times in an effort to make schools safer, under legislation that won approval Wednesday from a Florida House committee.
It gives principals the option to designate one or several school employees to carry concealed weapons. The designee would be required to complete the same training that bank and courthouse security guards complete in addition to the statewide firearms training. Principals could also decline the concealed weapons option altogether.
Proponents of the bill argued that since the state can’t afford to put a school resource officer on every campus, the gun legislation is a commonsense alternative.
“I want my children safe and in our overwhelming desire to protect our children with gun free zones we have inadvertently made them the ideal sterile target for a madman and the unwillingness of people to confront that reality is unacceptable,” said the bill’s co-sponsor Rep. Dennis Baxley.

Giving qualified personnel the ability to carry makes the most sense. In most every school there is a number of ex-military personnel teaching. In general I have found that they have the best discipline in their classrooms. With central govt mistakes are nationalised and almost impossible to backtrack from.
In Florida you can legally carry a loaded firearm in your car without a permit as long as it’s in a secure location like a glove compartment, console, ect. Sorry Dianne…
Sometimes my home state still makes me proud.
Newspapers are like that. They have no conception on how to report news, just how to paint targets.
Using children as targets and pawns for personal agendas is sick, and dangerous. The staff of The Des Moines Register should be brought up on child endangerment charges.
