When schools in one North Carolina county reopen later this month, new security measures will include stocking AR-15 rifles for school resource officers to use in the event of an active shooter.

, that left 19 children and two teachers dead in May, school officials and Madison County Sheriff Buddy Harwood have placed one of the semiautomatic rifles in each of the county's six schools. Each of the guns will be locked inside a safe, Harwood said.

The idea of having AR-15s in schools does not sit well with Dorothy Espelage, a UNC Chapel Hill professor in the School of Education who has conducted decades of study and research on school safety and student well-being.WLOS-TV. Just the presence of an SRO increases violence in the schools. There’s more arrests of kids. Why is it that they have to have these AR-15s? It doesn’t make any sense.

North Carolina County Hopes AR-15s Inside Schools Will Stop ShootingsThe rifles will be inside safes along with 'breaching tools,' according to Madison County Sheriff Buddy Harwood. 🤦🏽‍♂️😔 The very guns that are killing are children….they want to put them in the schools. This is todays Republican Party. If they’re in a place where teachers can get to them in time to help in an emergency, they’re in a place an angry student can get to one. I can’t believe we aren’t at the point where we realize how fast these things happen by now. There’s no time to unlock a safe.
