Lindsey Graham (R-SC) revealed Friday that he is working on a plan to help employ veterans of the U.S. Military to stop shootings from happening at schools across the country.<\/p>\n<p>The statement from Graham comes after 21 people, including 19 children, lost their lives in a shooting last week at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, after an 18-year-old Hispanic male opened fire inside the school. The Daily Wire is not naming the shooter due to company policy about not giving notoriety to mass shooters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have hundreds of thousands of well-trained former military members who could bring a lot to the table in terms of school security,\u201d Graham wrote on Twitter. \u201cROTC instructors with firearms training should be allowed to possess weapons to enhance school security.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will be working to create a certification process that allows former military members to go through school security training and become available to school districts throughout the country,\u201d Graham continued. \u201cIt is time to mobilize our retired and former service members who are willing to help secure our schools. Our schools are soft targets. They contain our most valuable possession \u2013 our children, the future of our country \u2013 and must be protected. \u201d<\/p>\n<p>Graham concluded by saying that schools should be \u201ctreated like courthouses, banks, capital buildings, etc when it comes to security.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the wake of the shooting, Democratic lawmakers and the president of the United States have ramped up calls for imposing new gun control measures.<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/biden-claims-gun-control-not-about-taking-away-rights-before-listing-ways-he-wants-to-take-away-rights\">reported<\/a> that Biden called for banning semi-automatic long guns, which are extremely popular in the United States, banning what he claimed were \u201chigh-capacity magazines,\u201d enacting red flag laws that strip Americans of due process, and going after gun manufacturers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to ban assault weapons and high capacity magazines,\u201d Biden said. \u201cAnd if we can\u2019t ban assault weapons, then we should raise the age to purchase them from 18 to 21, strengthen the background checks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Graham <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/biden-claims-gun-control-not-about-taking-away-rights-before-listing-ways-he-wants-to-take-away-rights\">responded<\/a> to President Joe Biden\u2019s gun control speech this week by saying that he was \u201cready to vote on all the proposals mentioned by President Biden tonight and encourage the Democratic Leader to bring them forward for votes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Graham, who is an AR-15 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/news\/politics\/2021\/03\/29\/senator-lindsey-graham-said-he-owns-ar-15-gun\/7050063002\/\">owner<\/a>, then suggested that he would vote no on those proposals, writing, \u201cI also stand ready to work across the aisle to find common ground \u2013 something that was absent from President Biden\u2019s address to the nation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Graham has also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/gun-congrol-red-flag-laws-bipartisan-progress-graham-blumenthal\/\">engaged<\/a> in talks with Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) to work on legislation for a so-called red flag law, which are viewed by many as controversial or unconstitutional.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Related:<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/new-timeline-of-events-emerges-from-uvalde-shooting-that-casts-police-chief-in-even-more-negative-light\">New Timeline Of Events Emerges From Uvalde Shooting That Casts Police Chief In Even More Negative Light<\/p>\n<p><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sen.
