,,of ,,the ,,united ,,states  ,march    
#ad1 #bjai ,mr4 ,murphy 7for himself1   
,mr4 ,blumenthal1 and ,mrs4 ,murray7    
submitted the following resolution2     
which was referred to the ,committee on 
,health1 ,education1 ,labor1 and        
,pensions  ,,resolution  ,keeping guns  
out of classrooms4  ,whereas ,congress  
has consistently made clear that it is  
unlawful for ,federal funds to be used  
for training or arming school personnel 
with firearms2 ,whereas ,congress passed
 the ,,stop ,school ,violence ,act of   
#bjah 7title ,v of division ,s of       
,public ,law #aae-ada7 in response to   
the shooting in ,parkland1 ,florida1 and
 amended part ,,aa of title ,i of the   
,omnibus ,crime ,control and ,safe      
,streets ,act of #aifh 7#cd ,u4,s4,c4   
#ajeea et seq47 to specify that ,no     
amounts provided as a grant for school  
security under such part may be used for
 the provision to any person of a       

firearm or training in the use of a     
firearm42 ,whereas section #dajb of the 
,elementary and ,secondary ,education   
,act of #aife 7#bj ,u4,s4,c4 #gaac71 as 
added by section #daja of the ,every    
,student ,succeeds ,act 7,public ,law   
#aad-ie2 #abi ,stat4 #aigj71 defines    
drug and violence prevention in schools 
as including the creation ''' of a      
school environment that is free of      
weapons2 ,whereas existing research     
demonstrates that training or arming    
school personnel with firearms will not 
make schools safer2 ,whereas an analysis
 by the ,federal ,bureau of             
,investigation of active shooters       
between #bjjj and #bjac found that      
trained law enforcement suffered        
casualties in #ba of the #de incidents  
in which officers engaged the shooter to
 end the threat2 ,whereas a survey of   
gun violence on school campuses showed  
that out of #bbe incidents of gun       
violence between #aiii and #bjah1       
trained armed personnel or school       

resource officers failed to disarm an   
active shooter #bbc times2 ,whereas     
proposed and existing programs to train 
or arm school personnel with firearms   
require significantly less training than
 law enforcement officers receive2      
,whereas research demonstrates that     
increased gun access and possession are 
not associated with protection from     
violence and a greater prevalence of    
guns increases the likelihood of gun    
violence2 ,whereas a greater prevalence 
of guns in schools creates undue risk of
 students gaining unauthorized access to
 firearms and the potential for         
unintentional shootings and school staff
 using guns in situations that do not   
warrant lethal force2 ,whereas students 
of color1 students with disabilities1   
and other vulnerable groups would       
experience a disparate impact of        
programs that arm school personnel as   
those students are disproportionately   
disciplined and arrested2 ,whereas      
heightened policing within public school

 spaces decreases a student's sense of  
safety and the associated anticipation  
of violence leads to increased anxiety1 
fear1 and depression2 ,whereas #gc      
percent of teachers in the ,united      
,states do not want to carry guns in    
school and #eh percent say arming       
personnel would make schools less safe1 
according to a ,gallup poll from ,march 
#bjah2 ,whereas the majority of parents 
of school-aged children oppose arming   
school personnel1 according to surveys2 
,whereas1 as of ,march #bjai1 there is  
no evidence supporting the value of     
arming school personnel2 ,whereas the   
broad consensus among participants in   
the listening tour for the final report 
of the ,federal ,commission on ,school  
,safety released in ,december #bjah was 
disagreement with programs that would   
arm school personnel1 according to      
transcripts2 and ,whereas1 in that final
 report1 the ,department of ,education  
endorsed the use of ,federal funds to   
train personnel to use firearms3 ,now1  

therefore1 be it  ,that it is the sense 
of the ,senate that ,federal funds shall
 not be used to train or arm school     
personnel with firearms4
