In Utah, a bill that encourages teachers to undergo firearms training and carry weapons on campus has successfully passed the legislature. This legislation has sparked controversy, with opposition groups urging Governor Cox to veto the measure. Critics, including Nancy Halden, spokeswoman for the Gun Violence Prevention Center of Utah, argue that the bill was expedited through the legislative process with minimal debate.
“This bill was rushed through the process at the end of the session with barely any discussion,” said Nancy Halden, spokeswoman for the Gun Violence Prevention Center of Utah. @KSLSharaPark https://t.co/1zlexG8wDd
