"Sen. Rick Scott proposes federal legislation for armed officers in all US schools"
Senator Rick Scott has introduced the "School Guardian Act," which would provide one or more full-time, armed officers in every K-12 school across the country, using $80 billion designated for the IRS. The act comes in response to the recent Nashville school shooting and is similar to Scott's efforts as Florida governor after the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in 2018. While some parents who lost their children in the Parkland shooting support the plan, Democrats, including President Joe Biden, have called for a federal assault weapons ban and increased background checks. It is unlikely to make it out of committee in the Senate led by Democrats.
