“What [senators] voted for yesterday is to introduce guns into the everyday reality of school. It’s going to increase the risk of gunfire and casualty in schools, not decrease it,” Fred Guttenberg told Newsweek.
A parent who lost his child in the 2018 Parkland shooting spoke out Wednesday against a bill that would allow teachers to carry guns in schools. State senators approved the bill on Tuesday, moving it one step closer to law.

And it’s what senators voted for yesterday.”
The commission itself, Guttenberg previously said, did not properly probe the role of guns in the tragedy. Today, Guttenberg said arming teachers is a recommendation that should never have been made. He has plenty of alternatives to bringing more guns into Florida’s classrooms. Schools could improve security by creating single points of entry and offering safe spaces for students to go in the event of a shooting, he suggests.
