Two Georgia Senators Propose Plans for School Security

In the past few days, both U.S. senators from Georgia have
announced legislation aimed at curbing mass violence. Outgoing
Republican Senator Johnny Isakson is splitting with some members of
his party. His bill would give the Atlanta-based Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention ongoing funding to research mass
shootings. That’s despite a provision to stop such funding passed
by congress in the 1990s under the strong influence of the National
Rifle Association. Meanwhile, Senator David Perdue is teaming up
with his Democratic colleague, Doug Jones of Alabama on a bill
called “The School Safety Clearinghouse Act” which would fund a
federal information hub.
