Sen. Michael Gianaris (D - Queens) cut in, saying he would vote for the bill, but said Republicans should have
been embarrassed to pitch it as
part of the
solution to
gun violence.
While I applaud the multi-pronged approach including raising the age for
gun purchases to 21, implementing a mandatory 3 day waiting period, better background checks, increased funding for mental health services, adding more SROs to campuses, et cetera, I firmly do not believe that arming teachers in schools should
be part of the
solution.
