Roger Williams is calling on Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi to pass a bipartisan school security bill he introduced in 2021, rather than the slate of gun control legislation the House Judiciary Committee passed Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>The Safer Schools Act of 2021, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/bill\/117th-congress\/house-bill\/2717\/cosponsors?r=1&#038;s=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">co-sponsored<\/a> by nine Democrats and six Republicans, creates a program in the Department of Justice that would fund security analyses and improvements at primary and secondary schools.

John Cornyn is negotiating with Democrats over a package that will reportedly <a href=\"https:\/\/punchbowl.news\/archive\/6-7-22-punchbowl-news-am\/\">incentivize<\/a> states to pass red-flag <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/05\/26\/mitch-mcconnell-red-flag-laws-bipartisan-negotiations\/\">laws<\/a>, and may also add juvenile criminal records to federal background checks. Republican South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, who is also involved in the negotiations, recently <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/06\/03\/lindsey-graham-veterans-armed-security-schools\/\">floated<\/a> a certification program that would allow veterans to work as armed school security guards.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInstead of finding common ground to ensure the safety of our students and educators, Speaker Pelosi has chosen to bring forth partisan gun control bills that have no chance of becoming law,\u201d Williams said in a statement to the Daily Caller.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter the Parkland shooting in 2018, I worked with school safety groups, law enforcement organizations, and Democrats to find real solutions to keep students and teachers safe. These efforts culminated in the Safer Schools Act which proactively addresses school security vulnerabilities and would have a tangible difference in making our classrooms more secure. Speaker Pelosi must stop trying to strip law abiding Americans of their Second Amendment right and bring forth concrete solutions to prevent these atrocities from happening in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republican Texas Rep.
