CONTROL DE ARMAS
Tennessee aprueba una iniciativa de ley para permitir a maestros portar armas en escuelas
April 24, 2024 - El estado de Tennessee, EUA, ha aprobado una ley que permitiría a maestros y personal escolar portar pistolas ocultas dentro de las instalaciones escolares – a solo poco más de un año del tiroteo masivo escolar más letal en el estado. Queda pendiente la aprobación por parte del gobernador de Tennessee.
The bill was approved Tuesday in a 68-28 vote in the Republican-dominated Tennessee House. The state’s Senate passed the bill earlier this month.
Tennessee has seen heated debate over gun laws since last year’s shooting at a Nashville school left three children and three adult staffers dead, Reuters said.
More states are taking steps toward arming teachers as the nation reels amid increasing numbers of school shootings. More than half of all states have some type of law allowing teachers and other school employees to carry concealed guns on school grounds, according to data compiled by the Giffords Law Centre.
