A new @everytown.bsky.social Support Fund report finds no evidence that arming teachers deters or reduces school shootings — and instead increases risk for students and staff. Arming teachers is dangerous and unethical. everytownsupportfund.org/press/new-ev...

We’ve seen culture shifts before — seatbelts, smoking, drunk driving. We didn’t wait for Congress then, and we can’t now. It’s time to do the same with secure firearm storage. Projectlockdown.org
