Arizona House panel plans to reduce school gun violence by allowing more guns on campus [View all]
PHOENIX — A gun may be on the supply list for school staff and teachers next year if new legislation is signed into law in Arizona.
House Bill 2022 is one of the first pieces of legislation to make progress in Arizona's new legislature, passing out of the House Education Committee on Tuesday, the second day of session. It would allow teachers and staff at Arizona's schools to carry on campus and in classrooms in a move that supporters say would be an investment in students' safety during a time when school shootings continue to threaten the nation's children.
"We're not advocating to go out and find the active shooter, we're advocating for them to protect their children in the best manner possible," state Rep. Selina Bliss, R-LD 1, said. "And this is the very last step if they were pushed to that situation."
