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.”

But they won’t arm the teachers. ABQ public schools officials have just resolved to NOT arm teachers.
Don’t forget to read the comments below the story - mostly moronic of course.

GOA is loaded with extremists and white nationalists and they have zero voice on Capitol Hill.
I’m okay with “ not arming teachers”..
It would be a lot better to just stop disarming the ones who already carry and know what they are doing.
Well that is a positive, and therefore, does not cause any blow back from me.
Not sure why you put these statements: No gun grabbing provisions? None? Are you really questioning? I have to assume that is the case since I see nothing in the article to confirm that. But if the NRA has no problem with it, and even applauds it, I assume that the answer to those questions are yes.
.
OK, I get it!
Supporting the constitution as written is extremist!
(and you are a complete leftie loon)
.
.
The NRA created gun grabbing in their 1968 gun control act.
Prior to that there was no such thing on the national stage.
The NRA brought New York City laws to the entire nation.
.
Anti-gun legislation not only does nothing but create the illusion that it does something. Our leadership is pandering to an issue, not the problem.
It’s a rhetorical question and laced with incredulity.
The federal government won’t arm the teachers. The local school authorities? Depends where. But that is not a federal matter.
All of it of course. Why do you think it passed so quickly? Just another bit of pork to feast on. Isn't our government great?
Does it rescind Bammy’s “Head in Sand When It Comes to Thugs and Nuts in Our School’s” policy????
We already have so many laws that no one knows what all of them are.
And if laws worked there wouldn't be any crime.
But that simple though never seems to get through to them.
Feels good, knee jerk reaction!
Passage of the Gun Control Act was initially prompted by the assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy in 1963. The President was shot and killed with a rifle purchased by mail-order from an ad in National Rifle Association (NRA) magazine American Rifleman. Congressional hearings followed and a ban on mail-order gun sales was discussed, but no law was passed until 1968. At the hearings NRA Executive Vice-President Franklin Orth supported a ban on mail-order sales, stating, "We do not think that any sane American, who calls himself an American, can object to placing into this bill the instrument which killed the president of the United States.
The deaths of Martin Luther King Jr. in April 1968 and U.S. Senator Robert F. Kennedy in June 1968, along with fears of armed uprising in black cities, renewed efforts to pass the bill. On June 11, 1968, a tie vote in the House Judiciary Committee halted the bill's passage. On reconsideration nine days later, the bill was passed by the committee. The Senate Judiciary Committee similarly brought the bill to a temporary halt, but as in the House, it was passed on reconsideration. House Resolution 17735, known as the Gun Control Act, was signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson on October 22, 1968 banning mail order sales of rifles and shotguns and prohibiting most felons, drug users and people found mentally incompetent from buying guns.
AS for your claim: The NRA brought New York City laws to the entire nation., I think that may be a huge stretch.

Not even overlooked or missed.
IGNORED.
If they’d stop ignoring this kind of stuff and actually act on what they’ve been told, they’d have prevented it just fine.
Get your kids out of public schools now.

Correction: If they’d were LIABLE...
Govt, no matter the level (> local > State > Fed) nor malfeasance, because they cannot be fired, let alone tried by jury\convicted, has no need to even TRY....or care.
Govt, long ago, stopped being the servant.
That’s what I assumed, but wanted verification that was the case. 8>)

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.

Bullshit.
Fedzilla, for one, needs to get out of the arena ENTIRELY. The (R)N(C) to finally sh!t or get off the pot re: DoEd
States need to drop the property tax (or get back to the roots of why it was instituted. IE: voters = property owners) and ‘schools’ need return, like h’care, to the service-oriented endeavors they are. Payment under service(s) rendered.
Then, and ONLY then, will ‘parents’ give a rat’s ass on the education (breadth and quality) and will DOUBLY care when their ‘little angel(s)’ are tossed on their keister, expelled, with NO REFUNDS.
Let parents/kids determine where their education needs are met: music/art? vocational? math? science? After 8th grade, PLENTY of time since the dawn of this Nation, let ‘em go if they want to go digging ditches.
Like HSAs, H’care and education should be pre-tax\save-to-use. Govt needs to be told to FOAD more often; like ‘welfare’, it’s not its responsibility/authority/ability.

>> “The President was shot and killed with a rifle purchased by mail-order from an ad in National Rifle Association (NRA) magazine American Rifleman.” <<
That is a proven flat out lie!
Kennedy was shot by his SS driver with his .45 auto pistol.
And don’t tell me about ‘history,’ I lived it. Most were well aware that a coup had occurred, and that Oswald was a convenient patsy, and nobody in their right mind wanted any kind of gun control laws.
