Blackburn Calls For Armed Grandparents At Schools

“To have this grant pool and to allow local school systems and local law enforcement to work together to bring in veterans and retired law enforcement to serve as a security officer at a school — they know how to use weapons. They know to deescalate situations. I’ve talked to a lot of them. They like this idea. They are grandparents like we are — my husband and I are grandparents — and they want to be there to help protect children.” – Sen. Marsha Blackburn, on her “SAFE ACT” bill that would grant $900 million for schools to “harden security.”
