President Trump Suggests Teachers Should Be Armed
President Trump Talks Arming Teachers To Deal with Shootings
President Trump seems to think the way to solve the problems with school shootings is more guns ... specifically, arming teachers.
Trump fielded suggestions Wednesday at the White House during a "listening session" he hosted with survivors of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting. He came prepared with a cheat sheet that included questions, and even a comment ... "I hear you." That was number 5 on his list.
A father of a Stoneman Douglas High survivor suggested allowing certain school personnel to be secretly armed so they can immediately respond before cops arrive. Trump was receptive, and said it was something he'd consider, among other things.
Trump said "maniacs" would be deterred from even attempting a school shooting if they knew bullets could be coming in their direction. The room was torn on the issue.
Interesting ... almost no one squarely addressed the biggest issue ... banning assault weapons. Also interesting ... Trump has taken a position on this before, and appeared to be against guns in the classroom.
Crooked Hillary said that I want guns brought into the school classroom. Wrong!
@realDonaldTrump
We don't know how the people in the room were chosen or whether the White House had any say in who was there.
