A new Quinnipiac poll released Wednesday shows Florida voters reject idea of arming school teachers while overwhelmingly supporting other gun measures, including required background checks for gun buyers and bans on assault weapons.
The poll revealed that Florida voters oppose arming teachers by 56 percent to 40 percent, but 51 percent said “increased security at school entrances” would reduce gun violence in schools compared to 32 percent who said stricter gun laws would do the same. Just 12 percent said arming teachers would keep schools safe.
