President Trump went on a tweet storm on Thursday morning after meeting with law enforcement and victims of mass shootings this week at the White House.
President Trump called out “Fake News @CNN and @NBC” for misconstruing his suggestions on how to better defend America’s schools and American children from deranged mass shooters.
President Trump wants to allow “adept” teachers to conceal and carry so they can fire back at deranged sickos.
Most Americans would agree with him.
Donald Trump: I never said “give teachers guns” like was stated on Fake News @CNN & @NBC. What I said was to look at the possibility of giving “concealed guns to gun adept teachers with military or special training experience – only the best. 20% of teachers, a lot, would now be able to immediately fire back if a savage sicko came to a school with bad intentions. Highly trained teachers would also serve as a deterrent to the cowards that do this. Far more assets at much less cost than guards. A “gun free” school is a magnet for bad people. ATTACKS WOULD END!
History shows that a school shooting lasts, on average, 3 minutes. It takes police & first responders approximately 5 to 8 minutes to get to site of crime. Highly trained, gun adept, teachers/coaches would solve the problem instantly, before police arrive. GREAT DETERRENT! If a potential “sicko shooter” knows that a school has a large number of very weapons talented teachers (and others) who will be instantly shooting, the sicko will NEVER attack that school. Cowards won’t go there…problem solved. Must be offensive, defense alone won’t work!
