Florida and Nebraska are poised to become the latest states to allow people to carry concealed weapons without a permit.
And only Vermont among the 25 permitless-carry states requires someone to pass a background check to buy a gun, the Giffords Law Center said.
“What we heard from Nashville, Tennessee, is nothing but tragic,” Sen. Jane Raybould said during Tuesday's debate, according to Nebraska Public Media. “Senseless. Heinous. Disturbing. But preventable. Another school shooting where innocent children and teachers are slaughtered. When is enough, enough?” Sen. Tom Brewer, said it was about guaranteeing the right to bear arms in Nebraska. He argued that Nashville shooting would have been less likely had someone in the school been armed.
The schoolchildren in Nashville were killed after a 28-year-old former student shattered a glass door to enter The Covenant School on Monday morning. Audrey Hale, who was armed with two AR-style weapons and a handgun, was killed by Metropolitan Nashville police inside the school. “I honestly am just flummoxed that any elected official regardless of party would want to stand for the proposition of making our country less safe,” she said. “And that’s ultimately what we’re talking about here.”
