Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) has introduced legislation to put full-time armed law enforcement at every K-12 school nationwide in an effort to prevent mass school shootings.

The bill, known as the School Guardian Act, proposes a total of $80 billion in funding for the hirings—money previously made available to the IRS by the Democrats’ Inflation Reduction Act.
