VIRGINIA TECH, NEWTOWN

CONNECTICUT, PLACES ASSOCIATED

WITH

GUN VIOLENCE.

>> IT'S BEEN 100 DAYS SINCE MANY

PEOPLE WERE SHOT AND KILLED.

>> GUN CONTROL AND ADVOCATES ARE

PUSHING FOR STRONGER LAWS.

BUT THE

PHRASE YOU HEARD REPEATED JUST

AS

OFTEN, KEEP OUR SCHOOLS SAFE.

>> THEY PROPOSE THE BIPARTISAN

BILL TO

DO THAT.

THEY LOOK AT A COMPREHENSIVE

COVERAGE TO LOOK AT WHAT LAW

MAKERS

WANT TO DO.

>>Reporter: THEY ARE PROPOSED TO

SPEND

$34 MILLION TO BETTER PROTECT

STUDENTS

AND STAFF FROM SCHOOLS FROM

INTERNAL

OR EXTERNAL THREAT.

>> ARKANSAS, TWO MIDDLE SCHOOL

COLORADO IN 1999, AND OF COURSE

NEWTOWN CONNECTICUT JUST A FEW

MONTHS

AGO.

>> WE HAVE BEEN VERY FORTUNATE

IN THIS

STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA THAT WE

HAVE

NOT HAD THAT.

>> WHICH IS WHY THEY INTRODUCED

A BILL

TO MAKE NORTH CAROLINA'S SCHOOLS

SAFER

NOW.

LEGISLATION.

MILLION

FOR ADDITIONAL SCHOOL

PSYCHOLOGIST AND

SOCIAL WORKERS AND GUIDANCE

COUNSELORS

AND FOR EVERY SCHOOL TO HAVE

PANIC

ALARMS FOR AN AGENCY.

>> THEY ARE PROVIDING RESOURCES

HERE.

IT'S PUTTING MEAT ON THE BONE

FOR LACK

OF A BETTER WORD.

>> THE BILL ALSO REQUIRES

SCHOOLS TO

HOLD EMERGENCY PLANNING

EXERCISES.

UP

TO DATE SCHOOL BLUEPRINTS MUST

BE

PROVIDED TO SCHOOL AUTHORITIES.

ANONYMOUS TIP LINES MUST BE IN

PLACE.

>> THIS IS THE MOST

COMPREHENSIVE

RESPONSE TO SCHOOL SAFETY WITH

SIGNIFICANT ADDITIONAL RESOURCES

THAT

WE HAVE SEEN IN THE COUNTRY.

DISTRICT

BY DISTRICT DECISION TO HAVE ARM

SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS.

THIS

DECISION IS EXPECTED EARLY THIS

DEMAND

ACTION TO END GUN VIOLENCE.

OBAMA WANTS TOUGHER GUN LAWS.

HE HELD

A NEWS CONFERENCE WITH THE

VICE-PRESIDENT AND URGING

MOTHERS TO

ACT.

>> THIS IS OUR BEST CHANCE IN

MORE

THAN A DECADE TO TAKE COMMON

SENSE

STEPS THAT WILL SAVE LIVES.

AS I SAID

WHEN I -- JUST IN NEW TOWN.

IF THERE

IS A STEP THAT WE CAN TAKE TO

SAVE ONE

CHILD, ANOTHER PARENT, ANOTHER

TOWN

FROM EXPERIENCING THE SAME GRIEF

THAT

SOME OF THE MOM'S AND DADS WHO

ARE

HERE HAVE ENDURED, WE SHOULD BE

DOING

IT.

>> THAT LESSON HIT HARD AS WELL.

WAS AN EVENT IN DURHAM TODAY.

THEY
