U.S. Sen Rick Scott hopes to use $70 billion in IRS funds to put armed law enforcement in every school. 'We've got to make sure all schools are safe. Protect our kids,' Scott said.
Scott said he hopes to get the School Guardian Act passed in the U.S. Senate and in the House of Representatives. He added he hopes to get the bill to President Joe Biden's desk for approval.Scott: Plan triggered by Parkland shooting
Scott said that as a result of the 2018 bill, there would be an armed police officer, a sheriff's deputy or an individual who has completed a trained program in safety in all schools across Florida's 67 counties. "The tragic shooting in Parkland urged us to work closely with then-Gov. Rick Scott to implement effective measures here in Florida to protect students and teachers in schools," Tom Hoyer said during his address."We continue now to do that on a national level. No family should endure the heartbreak that we still go through to this day."
"It's a tragedy to think about every day when you kiss your child to school ... Go to school ... That there is this element in your mind thinking about they may not come back," Ziegler said. "And all families who have lost lives to school shootings," he added."This is a senseless and unimaginable loss that no one should have experienced."
