He was the sponsor of a bill that permitted teachers to be armed in Kansas schools.
In its wake, insurers dropped coverage for those schools that neglected to request an exemption to the law. In 2015, Knox implied that the state should consider resisting federal authority with regard to complying with Environmental Protection Agency regulations. Knox said “this is only one issue.
There are many issues where the feds are overstepping.”.
