President Donald Trump boosted the idea of having teachers and staff carry weapons on school campuses on Wednesday during a White House listening session with students of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School students, their families and local school officials.

The president lamented the death of a Stoneman Douglas sports coach who died protecting students from gunfire to illustrate his case.

“If he had a firearm he wouldn’t have had to run, he would’ve shot and that would’ve been the end of it,” the president said.

Trump did not name the official, but appeared to reference assistant football coach Aaron Feis, who died while shielding students as gunman Nikolas Cruz opened fire on the Parkland, Florida school last week.

2. As an alternative, I propose this

Concealed carry made mandatory for all workers, family and wait staff in the White House.

The next argument within the first family might not end as peacefully as the last one on AF1.

3. Schools should be just like a NRA meeting

Gun free zones

4. Why not just install them in classrooms right next to the fire extinguishers ?

5. so schools are going to assume all the liability when a school teacher accidently kills a kid?

teachers don't have enough school supplies...and now they want to arm them? This is a multi-level problem, beginning with people who should not have access to ANY weapon to military level weapons in the hands of non-military
