The U.S. House of Representatives passed the STOP School Violence Act with overwhelming bipartisan support Wednesday afternoon.

Florida Reps. John Rutherford (R) and Ted Deutch (D) introduced the bill prior to the shooting in Parkland, Florida, and Rutherford addressed the media following Wednesday’s vote.

“The action that the House just took, I think, is an important first help forward in protecting our children, our teachers and other administrators within our schools,” Rutherford stated. “Because it’s going to not only harden the target through technology, but most importantly, I believe, it’s going to provide the tools and education needed...”

“Violence at schools makes students feel vulnerable in a place where they should feel safe. To curb violence at our nation’s schools, the STOP School Violence Act provides a multi-layered approach to identify threats and prevent violence from taking place on school grounds,” House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte said in a statement accompanying the passage of the bill. “It provides much-needed resources to train students, teachers, and law enforcement officers on how to recognize and respond quickly to warning signs and provides funding for technology to keep schools secure. The bill also provides for the creation of an anonymous reporting system to provide tips about potential attacks and persons who may be inclined to commit acts of violence on campus.”

“The STOP School Violence Act is a good step toward making our schools safe again. We will continue to examine issues pertaining to school safety in order to create a safer environment for our nation’s children.”

The White House applauded the bill’s passage as “an important step towards keeping American students safe.”

.....

Sanders also urged the Senate to vote and pass the bill as soon as possible.

The National Rifle Association also cheered the bill’s Wednesday passage.

“Get your kids out of public schools now”

Who came up with the bright idea to let government run schools ?

Government can't run anything

The FBI? don't make me laugh.

The government schools? NO

The IRS : Lois Lerner

Venezuela, Cuba, N Korea? NO.

Government is the problem not the solution to any problem

The Only thing government should be allowed to do is courts, military, border , control ,international issues like limiting immigration and trade (china) etc. and local police at the states’ level.

And these should be watched like a hawk.

You got it but does anybody have a clue as to what the bill says? It wiill, of course ,never pass the Senate. Thsnk God.

There’s a road to a real solution buried in here, somewhere:

From the Foreward:

“Crumbling school buildings are telling us how tired they are. Violence in schools is screaming at us to stop doing this thing we call “teaching.” The sorry level of discourse in America should tell us that the imaginations of our citizens are being cheated by the desperate ineffectiveness of schools. I’m grateful to John Gatto for having the gutsy imagination to tell us what’s wrong and for giving us some good ideas on how to make it right.”
— Thomas Moore, October 2001

The bill also provides for the creation of an anonymous reporting system to provide tips about potential attacks and persons who may be inclined to commit acts of violence on campus.

Another bunch of BS that ignores the problem. The local and feral government BROKE and failed to act.

All the wording and feel good SYSTEMS in the world will not fix the problem if the data is NOT acted on.

They wanted grant money from that Obama program. They ought to abolish it. It encourages corruption and ultimately caused 17 deaths.

But, but who would waste our money????

[eartick]

Gun Owners of America is the org that actively and honestly defends and promotes our gun rights. What did they have to say?

GOA is poed and worried that the national recipricary bill is dead. I owe this to our President and his brush off of it during his ramblings (yes I said RAMBLINGS and was being nice)in his "bipartisan" meeting trying to appease the demonrats.

[eartick]

There needs to be a refundable tax credit per student per year so parents can send their daughters and sons to safe private schools instead of dangerous government schools.

Agree and people without chilren should not have to pay for these lowlifes that do not want to learn.

Tired of paying for babysitters for the "under privileged" and goon squads growing up in the school systems.

GIVE ME MY TAXES BACK.

[eartick]

GOA is loaded with extremists and white nationalists

I resemble that remark and how did you get your hands on the membership list of GOA. Surely you are not just pulling statements out of your arse.

Thanks.

We need to start getting this never discussed reality out there:

What Do the Mass Shooters Have in Common?

No Father at home!

.
And there is no reason to think they’re wrong.

We get the standard creeping screw job every time.

Incremental tranny.

[editor-surveyor]

.
The filmed evidence and every other ascertainable fact say so.

I care little what you ‘consider.’

Every element of the 1968 act was written by NRA lawyers.

The only significant domestic violence had been that which was covertly carried out by elements of our government.

Enjoy your chains.

Message to the fathers of this country:

Get off your duffs and make the kind of money so that mom can stay home and homeschool! Man up and stop abrogating your duties as a father.

Or if opportunities are scarce, learn to live within your means until something better comes along.

You don’t need to own that plane or boat or three houses. Rent for awhile until the kids graduate. How hard is that?

[JME_FAN]

This legislation is bullsh*t.

You want to make schools “safe?”

ELIMINATE “GUN FREE ZONES!”

Arm competent teachers with concealed-carry 45 ACPs.

Provide the principle’s office with a few AR-15s, stored in a gun safe ...

Then have all school personnel, who will be tasked with the school’s security, regularly train in the proper use of their weapons.

[Robert DeLong]

I care little what you ‘consider.’

Ditto.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Could you ever imagine, if you went to schools in the 1950’s and early 60’s, that SCHOOL SAFETY would become a national issue and suffer from a lot of shootings, usually by mentally kids who should never have been allowed near a gun?

Another leftist/liberal insanity legacy from the 60’s, now killing our kills in classrooms, besides their older legacy promoting drugs.

IT SURE AS HELL WASN’T THE REPUBLICANS/CONSERVATIVES WHO PROMOTED THESE POLICIES.

[Eleutheria5]

It was the strict gun laws they had then./s

But seriously, it was easier to keep crazy people hospitalized then.
