Governor Lee thinks more guns is the solution

DID YOU KNOW? "Since The Covenant School shooting, (Governor) Lee has amended the legislation and the budget proposal. Here is the new legislation:

• Enacts a multi-tiered accountability plan to ensure exterior school doors are locked while students are present, with opportunities for corrective action. State and local law enforcement will be authorized to check for unlocked doors.

• Requires that private security guards are held to a high standard and receive active shooter training prior to being posted at Tennessee schools.

• Requires every school district to establish threat assessment teams, a nationally recognized best practice to ensure students are connected to support services and behavioral health professionals, when appropriate.

• Requires every public and private school to develop annual safety plans, which must include a newly required incident command drill for school leaders and law enforcement to prepare for what to expect in various emergencies.

The budget includes:

• $30 million to expand a statewide homeland security network with 122 agents serving students at both public and private schools.

• $140 million to establish a School Resource Officer (SRO) grant fund to place a trained, armed security guard at every public school.

• $20 million for public school security upgrades.

• $7 million for private school security upgrades.

• $8 million for additional school-based behavioral health liaisons across the state. " source

When the G.O.P. didn't renew the assault weapons ban under previous Republican administrations, mass shootings have skyrocketed. Here's a Financial Times chart:
