Tennessee lawmakers approve a bill that would allow some Tennessee teachers to carry a gun in class

A bill that would allow some Tennessee teachers to carry a gun at school is heading to Gov. Bill Lee’s desk.

HB 1202/SB 1325 has drawn heavy attention from parents, teachers, students and law enforcement. The bill would allow specially-trained teachers to carry handguns in their classrooms. Under the bill, parents would not know whether their child’s teacher was armed or not.

    The right to bear arms is a constitutionally-guaranteed right; the founders considered it intrinsic to maintaining the system of government.

    Yes, for the purposes of maintaining a well regulated militia.

    It’s a shame the Founding Fathers apparently didn’t forsee a future when people would interpret that plain language to include teachers instructing children in a fucking classroom.
