Armed teachers in schools? N.Y. lawmakers want to ban it
ALBANY, N.Y. — Democrats in the state Senate are proposing a ban on allowing teachers to carry guns in schools as a way to thwart any potential changes in federal law.
On Saturday, Long Island Sen. Todd Kaminsky announced legislation that would change New York penal law to explicitly prohibit teachers from carrying guns in schools.
The announcement adds to the debate in the state Legislature over what gun-control measures may be needed in the wake of the Parkland, Fla., school shootings Feb. 14.
