Rosemary Bayer (D) says the Republican idea of allowing teachers to have guns for classroom defense is \u201cinsane.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Slate <a href=\"https:\/\/slate.com\/news-and-politics\/2021\/12\/oxford-school-shooting-michigan-rosemary-bayer-gun-laws.html\">interviewed<\/a> Bayer and said, \u201cOne Republican representative has introduced a bill allowing teachers to have guns inside schools\u2014in lockboxes, but they\u2019d be able to arm themselves.&nbsp;And this is in the wake of the\u2026[Oxford High] shooting.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>Bayer responded: \u201cYeah,&nbsp;that is literally insane.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She continued, \u201cAnd no teacher that I\u2019ve ever talked to, or anyone else for that matter, wants a gun at school. That\u2019s a nutty idea in every perspective.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On December 13, 2018, Breitbart News <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2018\/12\/13\/commission-investigating-parkland-votes-13-1-to-arm-teachers\/\">reported<\/a>&nbsp;the commission investigating the February 14, 2018, Parkland high school shooting voted 13-1 to call for allowing teachers to be armed for classroom defense.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>The commission was led by&nbsp;Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri, who entered the investigation as an opponent of arming teachers. But Gualtieri&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2018\/11\/21\/sheriff-investigating-parkland-shooting-teachers-must-be-armed-to-stop-attacks\/\">made clear<\/a> the investigation into the Parkland shooting changed his views; that he went from opposing the arming of teachers to supporting it. He said of the Parkland shooting, \u201cPeople need to keep an open mind to it as the reality is that if someone else in that school had a gun it could have saved kids\u2019 lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While Michigan State Sen. Bayer opposes allowing teachers to be armed she does support numerous gun controls, one of which is a gun storage law.<\/p>\n<p>Slate <a href=\"https:\/\/slate.com\/news-and-politics\/2021\/12\/oxford-school-shooting-michigan-rosemary-bayer-gun-laws.html\">shows<\/a> that the storage law Bayer supports would&nbsp; require Michigan gun buyers to sign a paper acknowledging they will be charged with a felony if a minor gains access to their gun and \u201churts themselves or others.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And Breitbart News <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2021\/12\/09\/michigan-democrats-introduce-bill-banning-ammo-mags-larger-than-10-rounds\/\">noted<\/a> that Bayer announced legislation to ban ammunition magazines holding more than ten rounds after the Oxford High shooting.&nbsp;The legislation \u201cwould prohibit the sale or possession of a magazine capable of holding more than 10 rounds of ammunition beginning on Jan. 1, 2023,\u201d <a class=\"x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.detroitnews.com\/story\/news\/politics\/2021\/12\/09\/michigan-dems-propose-magazine-limit-after-oxford-school-shooting\/6446003001\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">according<\/a>&nbsp;to the <em>Detroit Free Press<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><em>AWR Hawkins is an award-winning Second Amendment columnist for Breitbart News<\/em><em>&nbsp;and the writer\/curator of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/downrange\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Down Range with AWR Hawkins<\/a>,&nbsp;<\/em><em>a weekly newsletter focused o<\/em><em>n al<\/em><em>l things Second Amendment, also for Breitbart News.
