Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., is dropping a bill on Friday to expand teachers' Second Amendment rights to protect students from armed intruders.
"If Congress is serious about preventing school shootings, it needs to harden schools, allow teachers to take self-defense training, and modernize school firearm policies when over half of states recognize Constitutional Carry," Boebert said.
Colorado GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert, another cosponsor of the bill, told Fox News Digital in"2021, 49% of all active shooters were stopped by armed civilians." The bill has double-digit GOP co-sponsors already, including Biggs and Boebert, as well as Reps. Troy Nehls of Texas and Alex Mooney of West Virginia.GOA Director of Federal Affairs Aidan Johnston told Fox News Digital"GOA is proud to endorse this legislation from Rep. Ogles."
"There's a reason that no school shooting has occurred at a school with armed teachers, and Rep. Ogles' legislation will play a critical role in hardening schools by creating a pool of federal funds to train willing teachers and modernizing school firearms policies at a time where over half of the United States recognize Constitutional Carry," he continued.
