DeSantis to listen to Floridians and veto this risky bill. We will remember which lawmakers stand on the side of public safety at this critical time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Senate last week passed approved the bill by a vote of 22 to 17.\u00a0 The House followed suit Wednesday by a vote of 65 to 47.<\/p>\n<p>Proponents say that expanding the program to include teachers creates a last line of defense against a would-be attacker.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt allows the good guys to stop the bad.

DeSantis to veto this bill.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>All signs suggest that Gov. DeSantis, a Republican, will put pen to paper and enact SB 7030.\u00a0 Critics of the bill should not be too concerned, however.\u00a0 The Guardian Program is optional.\u00a0 School districts are not required to participate.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, those who believe that gun-free zones are the best way to stop mass murderers from killing innocent school children are free to continue to test that theory.\u00a0 Sane folks, meanwhile, can adopt a strategy of armed resistance that is time-tested and utilized, ironically, by the very same people who are leading the charge to disarm the country\u00a0\u2014 anti-gun politicians.<\/p>\n<p>Feinstein and Schumer and Obama, et al., believe they need good guys with guns to ensure their safety.\u00a0 But when it comes to the safety of school children, they believe\u00a0a sign on the wall that reads, &#8220;No Guns Allowed,&#8221; is good enough.\u00a0 Funny how that works.<\/p>\n<p><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"width: 0px;overflow: hidden;line-height: 0\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\">***<a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/\" campaign=\"BuySellGA_Register\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">Buy and Sell on GunsAmerica!<\/a>***<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cIt allows the good guys to stop the bad.
