Kingsburg High School District in California voted Monday to allow some staff to carry guns during the school day to help protect students and staff in the case of an active shooter. The district is the second in California to allow guns at schools. At least seven other states have schools that allow guns in some form, according to the Council of State Governments Justice Center. In 2013, at least 33 states introduced more than 80 bills related to arming teachers and school staff.

Mary Lou Swenning, who has grandchildren attending the district, said, “Now we’re going to add something else for teachers to think about? Shooting people, really? That’s a difficult thing for a police officer to do who’s been trained to do this, and you have a split second to decide if you should kill this person or not. I wouldn’t want that responsibility, and I wouldn’t want it for our teachers.”
