Everytown for Gun Safety

Urge Ohio Governor DeWine to VETO a bill to arm teachers in schools

HB 99 would arm teachers in schools with little to no training. Our schools need to employ proven practices to keep children safe–not create an atmosphere where teachers can freely tote guns around school grounds.

Send the following message urging Gov. DeWine to VETO HB 99:

Dear Governor DeWine,

I'm one of your Ohio constituents and I'm urging you to veto the arming teachers bill HB 99.

Arming teachers does not make children safer—instead, it increases the risk of gun violence in schools by increasing the chances that a teacher's gun will fall into the wrong hands, or that a gun will discharge unintentionally and injure a student

Our children deserve to feel safe in schools, and it is your responsibility to ensure that remains the standard in Ohio. Arming teachers won't solve mass shootings at schools, but instead potentially present opportunities for more gun violence to occur. Please listen to your constituents and veto this dangerous bill.

Uvalde cannot happen again. I urge you to protect all Ohioan children and VETO HB 99.
