Sen. Lindsey Graham on Friday floated the idea that retired service members could help boost security measures in schools in the aftermath of the deadly mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas, last month.
The South Carolina Republican in a Twitter thread remarked that there were “hundreds of thousands” of veterans who would bring an array of experience in order to keep schoolchildren safe in classrooms.
“ROTC instructors with firearms training should be allowed to possess weapons to enhance school security,” he wrote. “I will be working to create a certification process that allows former military members to go through school security training and become available to school districts throughout the country.”
