- A year after a deadly shooting at a private elementary school in Nashville, Tennessee, lawmakers voted 68-28 in favor of a bill that would allow some teachers and staff to carry concealed handguns in schools.
Protesters gathered on Tuesday shouting “blood on your hands” at Tennessee House Republicans to express their disapproval.

What do YOU think?
Just like there are bad drivers, bad parents, bad teachers, bad doctors, bad cops, bad judges, there are bad gun owners/shooters. There will be collateral damage. Sad.
It's awesome.
I think you're org's opinion is obvious from the report. That's a fail. I shouldn't be able to tell what side you're on.
@@adriennem3168 Are you a teacher?
Based
In over 40 years of my life, I have yet to see a "disgruntled" teacher shot a bunch of kids or their coworkers.
Just wait some Dimocrat now will to make a point.
Because there are no guns. How do you not get this?
@@spacenerd9499 Then how do school shootings happen if there are no guns? Only idiots think a sign and a "gun free zone" is an actual deterrent.
@@spacenerd9499half of all states already allow teachers to carry, you are seriously one of the most uneducated people ever.
@@spacenerd9499 Maybe YOU'II GET THIS,
many States have already been doing this for years. The instructors that will be carrying will be highly trained. PLEASE GET THIS
About time give the law abiding citizens back the right to protect themselves and innocent people.
Our rights are granted by God, not our government. You already have the right.
A’int no Trump voters thats “law abiding”… they’re all violent Insurrectionists 😂
Nobody took your rights. Stop with Facebook.
@@SydneyBristow0788funny how God doesn't require taxes or auto insurance but I bet you deal with both promptly 😅
@videoettaceo8900 you people (sheeple) want too!
You should see what columbine looks like now. Some schools already have armed teachers and security on school campuses for years without issue. There are plenty veterans that are teachers that would be more than happy to be able to protect students.
More power to 'em, a lot of teachers aren't comfortable with it. I don't blame them. They signed up to teach students, not be an action movie hero.
Good! I think gun control advocates should be forced to put a "Gun Free Zone" sign on their front lawns, if they think it is such a smart idea to have "Gun Free Zones."
Agreed.
Amen 😅
My entire country is practically a gun free zone and we seem to be doing better than the US in any respect.
@@C45p3r Israel was a gun free zone...until Hamas terrorists landed and butchered a couple of thousand. IF they allowed bearing arms like ALL humans should be allowed to do, it is our inalienable right given to us by our maker to be able to defend ourselves, then Israelis would have had a fighting chance.
"Seem" is the key word in your response, and I do not know much about your nation, if you are in Europe, we have states bigger in size and population than most nations so hardly a good comparison. You may be a cold country where a good junk of the year people must remain indoors. Then your country may have one ethnic group unlike the USA, and your society may be more law abiding than the USA, and your country may invest more in police and prisons to keep your citizens safe than the USA does.
In the USA we have the spectacle of the exact same people wanting to disarm the population AND free all the criminals. THOSE are the people who should have to tell all the criminals that they want to be freed, that they are disarmed and just waiting to be a victim. The only way to get a socialist to see common sense is to give them exactly what they are asking for.
Japan for example has zero diversity and an extremely low crime rate. Diversity is one of the biggest causes of trouble in any society, just look at Yugoslavia.
@@C45p3r out of curiosity, what country?
Thank goodness for the 2nd Amendment in USA, we can defend ourselves if necessary 😢😮❤
Or allowed.
The Second Amendment is not our permission slip to be armed. It restrains the government from infringing upon an already pre-existing right.
You're casting pearls before swine. They love the NRA and need a strong supporter like Marsha to keep taking the campaign cash @@BonnieBlue2A
This is NOT the Second. This is: *A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State,* the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
@@kingace6186The militia IS the people. And the point is to ensure the citizens have the arms necessary to ovethrow a corrupt government. This is just a bonus.
Sounds reasonable...hope the training is great....criminals on the street have guns..why not well trained phsycologically cleared teachers....get them profecient...trained better and cleared as good as law enforcement...and a raise
Love this
One more CRAZY nutcase heard from...
Training... that's laughable
I can bet if these teachers went to the police stations there would be a way for their range master to work with them. our police departments up north in Wisconsin have range days.
You should go back to school and learn how to spell
They're not mandating every teacher carry, so what's the problem?
The fact that you don't see it as a problem, is the problem
@@shawnarguinsr.6545Desk safes are a thing… They’re not going to be in a holster to be grabbed
@@spacenerd9499 He said they’re not making EVERY teacher carry and are requiring training. You just have a bias against guns because they scare you
Democrats are now all of a sudden to care about children but a couple years earlier in their young lives they would have aborted them. Hmmm?
@@shawnarguinsr.6545that's different those people already committed the crime that's why they're in prison not a good analogy not every kid in the classrooms going to be going for the gun if they are raised right by the parents. It's The Outsiders
THANK YOU TENNESSEE!!!! SOMETIMES IT REQUIRES DOING BOLD THINGS TO PROTECT CHILDREN, WE ARE GOING TO BE FEARLESS AND BOLD IN TENNESSEE BUT WE WILL PROTECT OUR CHILDREN .
Right.👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Protect your children by reducing the number of guns. You are insane
@@spacenerd9499stop commenting, it’s embarrassing
@@spacenerd9499disarming people in schools has done nothing but ensure carnage.
Stop. You don't care about the children. You care about guns. So the only "solution" you will accept is more guns.
Good now how fast can we get some signs posted at the entrances stating " Some teachers at this school are armed"
Many teachers in my county's schools are armed. The teachers take part in the monthly training with our local law enforcement. This is a very good thing!
Those poor teacher don't get paid enough to be put through that. Of course, YOU think it's good because YOU are not the teacher.
@@kingace6186 the teachers are volunteering, not being forced.
It’s about gosh darn time. Get rid of the gun free zones also.
So allow the crazy dad to stand outside your kids school with an Ar15 because the 14 year old boy called his daughter a bad name ?
He would have the legal right to stand outside your kids school.
You better pray that was not your boy he is accusing.
There are a ton of requirements to carry in schools. The people who are upset probably couldn't pass those requirements.
Security has to meet these carrying requirements, no problem. Having a Veteran as a Teacher, is a bonus. (Pink haired Screetchers, No.)
tell us the 4 who voted no so we can vote them out
RINO 💩’s
A lot of schools in Texas are armed. Especially the smaller rural schools.
Too bad Uvalde wasn't armed ... oh wait,they had school resource officers ... with guns... oh nvm, they didn't even have THAT. Even the cops there were fkin useless, took a lone Border Patrol agent to stop that slaughterhouse.
Many teachers in my county's schools are armed. The teachers take part in the monthly training with our local law enforcement. This is a very good thing!
Heard the police did not respond when a nursery school within a Jewish center requested assistance due to unfriendly
intruders..
Other states have had this in place for quite a while without any problems.
Which ones?
@@spacenerd9499more than half of all states, educate yourself.
@@spacenerd9499 Kansas Michigan Mississippi New Hampshire Oregon Utah and Wyoming allow concealed carry in schools.
That’s less than 10, there are 50 states. Half of 50 is 25.
Ten is a lot less than half… unless you mean special white people Confederate math? 😂
Weird because the President and his party repeatedly said that the only way to keep our ally Ukraine, safe is more and more weapons. But some of the same people say weapons make the students less safe. Very confusing.🤔
Protect your political parties with secret service agents and snipers for the president. Kids aren’t that important, we need to protect banks and night clubs better, yeah?
Biden is too busy being the poster child for banning tik tok and campaigning to cate
If they could figure out how to siphon off 30 or 40 % of the funding to arm school teachers they'd be all for it...
And that is what I find mind boggling.
Mind boggling that you think schools should be BUNKERS. Keep making Marsha rich.The NRA loves ❤you
These kids have no clue what they're saying. Common sense gun laws is guarding your most valuable with guns. All countries do it, and whoever is against it doesn't want real solutions. They want political theater. 🙄
If it was common sense, we would have already done it. 😆😅🤣😂
CONCEALED IS CONCEALED. ID rather have 12 judge me than 6 carry me out.
Beautiful work. Volunteered! Volunteer State!
So a person who is already a teacher needs to pass a psychological test to carry a firearm. If they can’t pass that they shouldn’t be a teacher
It’s interesting to see people reacting to this news. Most of the people I’ve spoken to don’t understand what this Bill actually does. And that’s the problem.
It's about time 😮..2A, across the country.
God Bless Tennessee! Hat's Off To a State with Balls to Fight Back!
If the teacher is willing, and trained, and continues to maintain their training, all for it. By the time the cops show up, and after Florida and Uvalde even some of the SRO's , and cops cant be counted on to to be expeditious.
Gun free zones are the most dangerous places to be. Kid Killers are cowards and would avoid schools where teachers can fight back to save your children.
What could possibly go wrong?
IF you trust the teacher to TEACH your child and tend too them daily for 8 hrs, THEN you may also consider the Teacher too have the tools available too him/her to DEFEND the LIFE of that child. Plain and simple. imo
For that very reason all teachers should get free condoms.
Teachers need to have the tools available to him/her to not get them tied down with a kid so early in life.
This is great. America becoming great again.
proves guns save lives.
I hope this goes good and responsible one's are trained
What could possibly go wrong.
Its not like we hear about teachers making bad choices every day like sleeping with the kids or anything.
We can trust teachers with our kids lives just fine.
If they are well trained.. why not?? This sounds like a good idea to protect students.
as a person trained in firearms, here is the problem, to have a firearm to protect the children, their only job would be to have the firearm out and ready. Which means they would have to only play security, and not teach. If they are preoccupied in teaching, and someone enters with a firearm out, or has already pulled a firearm, unless the teacher has their firearm out and ready, they will most likely lose the battle, and their firearms could be taken.
If you want armed protection, you need someone who only job is being at a ready position with a firearm. I would have armed security at the doors, which would be a lot better that preventing a mass shooting, instead of someone in a classroom, that is preoccupied in doing something else.
@@lonnierichter6962 one of the few sane comments
@@spacenerd9499 thank you.
@@lonnierichter6962 Your hypothetical scenario is full of holes, you know that. You are assuming the student will know what teacher is carrying. You are assuming a kid will be a skilled shooter, as a 'person trained in firearms' you would know the average shooter cannot hit anything within 15 feet unless they take their time. If you believe the shooter knows which teachers have weapons, you are assuming a shooter would go there first. But why would they go there when it is possible they will get shot faster? You are also assuming there are no other teachers with a weapon that can respond in seconds versus police who will be there in minutes. You also want armed guards, which unlike the teachers, will be easily identified targets to get first. And they aren't walking around with weapons drawn or at a 'ready position' either so they will be in the same hypothetical situation your teachers are. And some of these schools are so big it may take minutes for a guard to get to the scene.
@@cidmontenegro8225 if you say so. When I got my CPL license, this is what the sheriff said, I will tell you what I tell my deputies who are off duty. If you are in a robbery where they have a gun, unless they are already shooting, do not attempt to use yours, if they have their firearm out, you will not be able to draw, aim and fire, before they with their firearm being out and ready to aim and shot. Now that you brought up aiming, the said teacher would have to draw, aim at their target and fire, before the shooter, with a firearm out and ready can aim and shot. a shooter will take out their biggest threat first, which will be any adult, armed or not armed. It takes 1.8 seconds for the human body to react, so the person with a firearm out, already has 1.8 seconds, so now add, the person is busy doing something else, they have to quit doing what they were doing, then draw their firearm, aim and fire.
Yes they would be there with a tactical rifle, in a ready position, you know, like how the Military is in a combat zone, or like when small game hunting. Their only job is to neutralize a shooter, and nothing else. So yes, they would have a tactical rifle ready to use instantly.
I look at it this way. It will take police at least 5 minutes to get to the scene. A teacher is already there. If 2-3 teachers can keep the suspect pinned in a corner until police arrive, then it's worth arming them.
I love this comment section
Good for Tennessee !!
Let get this out right now, there are ways to use biometrics to secure the weapon. You’re going to say a student can get ahold of them right?
It's about time.
I'll take a well-trained & armed teacher at my kid's school any day over a police officer 10+ minutes away from the attack.
It's a good start. Frankly, any teacher unwilling to defend their students has no business being a teacher.
From 1622 to the mid-1980s, we never had a problem with school shootings in America. What happened?
The people protesting this are absolutely ridiculous. The ability of a teacher to carry in a classroom is a good thing. This allows for them to immediately respond to a threat in the school. Instead of having to wait for law enforcement. More lives can be saved Instead of lost.
Firearms have no place in institutions for education.
@@kingace6186are you even old enough to have a ccw?
@@kingace6186 so, no resource officers either?
Crazy
Every school I know of already has certain qualified armed staff. It's nothing new. I know someone who helps train these staff, but it isn't publicly known.
unless schools are going to have as good security as court houses and stadiums this is the least they could allow-
It's about time!
oh no it's horrible, teachers being able to defend their students!
Drama is what they do best
Sounds like a great idea this would help deture criminal minded youth and parents that don't lock up there guns
For the teachers that want to be trained train them as officers.They can be officers and teachers and carry a gun for the kids safety. 🤨
Good. Keep the schools safe. Criminals go after soft targets
Guns don't "Keep the schools safe." They can only do the opposite.
What if some teachers have a BAD day, i mean a really BAD day??
MOST of the teachers are depressed MOST of the time!
Will they then...
No one just flips that easily. The mindset takes time and slowly building then it snaps. If they are depressed or have mental issues they shouldn't be a teacher. Period. Also they have to go through mental checks as part of the bill. I get the feel no one even read the bill. They just hear "teachers carrying guns" and based their arguments on that alone.
So what’s stopping them from doing that now? You think a gun is the only way to do that? A teacher could easily harm a child with literally anything including a gun if they were crazed and felt like it. Thing is that’s a non issue as of now. None of my teachers were searched when they entered school and some had really bad days. Nothing happened
Well........
If a teacher wants to carry a gun yes they should be able it's a right not a privilege! Especially under present climate!
What’s wrong with paying for security with firearm privileges. Got to me cheaper than paying for a multi million dollar lawsuit.
Yeah because uniformed on duty cops never take incorrect action that leads to big setttlements being paid.
good times create weak men
How much training are these gun carrying teachers going to receive? What happens when a teacher wants to shoot at the intruder & accidentally shoots a student or another staff member? What law(s) are in place to cover up this severe accident? The police go through a rigorous follow-up, and many panels determine if it is a "clean" shooting or recklessness. Riddle me that Batman!
It’s about being safe.. not feeling safe, I wish my kids were being protected the same way banks and politicians are… when I can’t be there to protect them
Will not all teachers have the same option to defend themselves, why just some?
Did you listen to the video report? There are qualifications that this law requires. Not all teachers will meet these requirement nor choose to accept the responsibility of carrying a firearm in the school.
🤔👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Hmmm so the teachers wont have a meltdown ?
At least the democrat mitchell guy was honest. We've done nothing for you, we've lied to you. refreshing to hear him admit they do nothing for their constituents
Thought this was settled in 1791?
Yay more guns!!! USA!!! USA!! USA!!!
Good idea, in my view.
Ooooh raaahhhhh
If you are American, you are qualified
Sign the bill…….Bill..😊😊
good
Finally, some REAL common sense gun legislation.
Lol Zoomer rage.
Make my day PUNK
You don't know what Punk means. Punk would be being anti-establishment, meaning anti-NRA & status-quo. Punk is personal liberty above all else, yet our guns have more rights than we do. Punk would be a radical piece of legislation that only came to be due to massive grassroots efforts. The Civil Rights movement was punk. Forcing guns on teachers is pro-NRA and only prolongs the larger problem of mass shootings.

AWESOME!!!!
IT IS ABOUT TIME!!!!!
Blood of bad people? Ok.
So what are you saying?
@@bldrtomwhat are you saying??
A better idea is having Ex military to guard schools
I am sure many veterans who know how to handle a weapon would be more suited for this job
Teachers are for teaching
A couple of the teachers where I worked at a school where ex-military and ex policeman .. teaching was their second career
Factually, this requirement of training is more than your ‘ex-military’ would undergo. Firearms skills are fungible skills.

The only problem i see is why can't every legal adult carry? Hello, it's the 2nd Amendment.
All the teachers should be allowed to have guns at school. But so should every student. So should every parent.
I support the concept, but an acceptable compromise would be a definite right to open carry tasers.
Spoken like someone who's watched too many TV shows.
Sorry but a taser against an ar-15? You have to be pretty close to use a taser.
@@bldrtomso maybe not have ARs or any other military weapon
@@spacenerd9499 Why? And please define "military weapon." I know you cannot, just like you cannot define "assault rifle" or even "assault weapon." But you weenies blather on and on about non-existent things that scare you.

Please don't misgender the child killer."
Terrible, terrible idea and law.
The same people passing this saying "We trust teachers with guns" are the same people saying "We don't trust teachers with books"...
The ones who can't be trusted with books are afraid of guns. They won't be requesting to carry, so no worries.
It began with John Dewey. He had an agenda for all schools, and it has gone badly!
Yup, and you are a product of that education and that is why you cannot figure it out. Our schools are NOT teaching the right things, and our children are forced to be in classrooms with violent and disruptive children. So yes, teachers are uneducated and our schools are dangerous.
Umm that’s not even the argument numbnuts
Crazy. 🇦🇺
Needed
It makes perfect sense. It is well known that mass shooters target places where they know everyone will be helpless.
Haha no what's crazy is the stabbing epidemic your nation can't combat because your all unarmed. Guess since your not "allowed" to have the right to defend yourselves then nobody can right? WRONG we are Americans and we will never surrender our 2nd Amendment GOD GIVEN rights!!
What's crazy is giving up your right to protect yourself and expecting the police to do it. Guess you didn't hear what happened in Uvalde, Texas.
Yup, Supreme Court says ducks in a barrel don’t need to be freed. Police will not and do not have to die for you or anyone. They do not have to even answer the call until it’s over. So now what?
It's the best thing they could do is all teachers mandatory and if you're not willing you are not a teacher protect kids at cost
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Welcome to Alabama Mississippi Arkansas South Carolina...oh not them HUH? Tennessee... okay... another state to stay far far away from...
Universities already allow their faculty and staff to carry in the state so your fear is in your head. But do stay away, we don't need your help
Make sure to put Texas on the list. We don't need to turn into Commiefornia. Gross.
Fantastic! You aren't wanted.
33 states allow teachers to carry.
JFC this is NOT a good idea. Can't wait for the results 🙄
You can tell you had every booster, have pronouns, and have trouble with Velcro shoes.
It is a great idea. Stop being a coward. We don't have time to wait on the police. They aren't coming to save you.
Nice country.
Totally trustable society.
Strong social cohesion, mentally and morally strong population....😅
This is a disaster waiting to happen! God help all the students of Tennessee!
Where is your data to prove that it is a disaster waiting to happen? Plenty of states have similar legislation and no such disasters have occurred. Show me the facts and not your feelings.
Has a disaster happened in the other 33 states that allow teachers to carry?
No thats the gun free zones you libturds created
Calm down Little Leftie.
That’s why my sister dropped out of teaching. She don’t believe in that teacher carry guns.
Huh? It is totally and completely voluntary. Methinks you are lying or your sister is dense..
She "doesn't". All y'all talking about guns in classrooms need to maybe go back to school
good thing she did, she wanted children to be easy targets.....how sad
Then no big loss.
Saved kids from being indoctrinated.

Dont be Ignorant.
These handful instructors will be well trained and accept the responsiblity. They are NOT just have ANY teacher carry.
No one will know(except administration) who is carrying.
Dont make yourself look like an idiot with comments like that
Never happened so we don't know. Most school shooters seem to be European ancestry so there is that.
@@SuperOdyssthat’s a lie, you should try facts instead of embarrassing yourself.
I will not send my child to a school where teachers carry guns.
Then keep them home..they are in more danger in " gun free" zones that are the modern school
Yep, a 'gun free' public (government) school is your choice? That's where all school shootings took place.
So you don’t go anywhere in public?
