The act\u200d was passed in\u200b response to \u2064a tragic school shooting\u2064 in Uvalde, Texas, \u200bin\u2064 May 2022, which resulted in the loss of 19 children and 2 adults, with 17 others\u200b injured.<\/p>\n<p>The act was introduced \u2063by GOP Sens.

Chris Murphy of Connecticut and Kyrsten \u200cSinema of Arizona. \u200dIt includes an amendment to the Elementary and Secondary \u2063Education Act that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fact-check-do-most-americans-oppose-the-hyde-amendment\/\" title=\"Fact check: Do Most Americans Oppose The Hyde Amendment?\">prohibits federal funds<\/a> from \u2062supporting\u200c the provision of \u2063dangerous weapons or training in their use.<\/p>\n<p>Sens. Cornyn \u2062and Tillis recently expressed their concerns to Education\u2063 Secretary Miguel Cardona about the misinterpretation of the \u2063law in a letter.
