In 2016 Tennessee allowed by statue, faculty and staff of colleges and universities to carry handguns if they met certain criteria. Where is the data showing that has proved any increase in dangerousness?
No specialized training, just the ordinary run of the mill Enhanced
Both Tennessee and Iowa’s governors signed dangerous arming teachers legislation into law within a week of each other. In Iowa, school staff can now carry guns in schools with qualified immunity, and in Tennessee, teachers can carry guns in schools without parents knowing.

The first lie here is that Warren Burger was conservative.
To see what the SCOTUS says about the 2nd Amendment one needs to follow the path of Heller (2008), McDonald (2010), Caetano (2016) and Bruen (2022).
If you graduated the 8th grade and take the time to read those cases,
It's a total fraud the way people interpret the 2nd Amendment.
