Trump Wants Teachers To Go Through Special Gun Training To Combat Shooters

Trump listened intently to ideas from about 40 people, including those from six students who survived the Florida shooting.

“As a kid, nothing that disgusting should ever have to happen to you”.

“Even though he had liberal tendencies, his Cabinet has been able to keep him in check and the Congress has been able to hold him to a standard as well as his base”, said Kurt Schenher, a 21-year- old student at the University of CT. “I turned 18 the day after” the shooting, said tearful student Samuel Zeif. “But I can’t just let my daughter’s death be in vain”. I want to feel safe at school.

“Nobody wants to see a shootout in a school, and a deranged sociopath on his way to commit an act of murder in a school, knowing the outcome is going to be suicide, is not going to care. After Sandy Hook? It’s still happening”.

On Thursday, Trump fully defended his idea that trained teachers should pack heat at schools to deter possible gunmen.

Finally, Trump wrote that a potential shooter would not attack a school with a large number of “very weapons talented teachers” and others “who will be instantly shooting”.

“We have to harden those schools, not soften them”. “Cowards won’t go there.problem solved”, he added.

Trump blasted active shooter drills on school campuses, saying that they’re “very hard on children”.

“He certainly did a poor job”, Mr Trump said. “Today if you catch somebody, . there’s no mental institution, there’s no place to bring him”.

“No longer can I walk the halls without imagining bloodstains and dead bodies”, the 17-year-old junior said. “We believe we can do better”, Sessions said.

Mourners look at candles, flowers and stuffed animals serving as a memorial for the victims of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting. “The laws of the country have failed”.

“You have one guard and he did not turn out to be good”, Trump said. “It should have been one school shooting and we should have fixed it and I’m pissed”.

“I’d rather have somebody that loves their students and wants to protect their students than somebody standing outside that doesn’t know anybody and doesn’t know the students”, Trump said, alluding to the school’s guard who stood outside of the school. How inspiring to see it again in so many smart, fearless students standing up for their right to be safe; marching and organizing to remake the world as it should be. Bump stocks have not played a prominent role in other recent USA mass shootings.

Trump also promised “very strong” background checks on gun owners during the poignant “listening session”, in which he heard first-hand accounts from bereaved parents and friends, and schoolchildren who narrowly escaped with their own lives. He noted that he will be meeting with the nation’s governors next weak in Washington, and school safety will be at the top of the agenda. He said, “You came through big for me, and I am going to come through for you”.

“Teachers have to teach, and that’s what they should be doing”, teacher Joel Myrick, who ended what could have been a wider massacre at his MS high school in 1997, told The New York Times on Wednesday.

The attack at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, where 17 students and educators were slain on February 14 in the second-deadliest shooting at a United States public school, has revived the long-running USA debate over gun rights. “Maybe raising the age to 21”.

One little-noticed factor in the outpouring of emotion that will become increasingly important when lawmakers get back to work next week is Congress.

Besides the major USA teachers’ unions, the proposal also drew criticism from Shannon Watts, the head of one of the leading gun control groups, Moms Demand Action For Gun Sense in America. We want common-sense gun laws. Because we are coming after you.

“Our new normal has yet to be defined, but we want to get back to it”, said geography teacher Ernest Rospierski, whose classroom is on the third floor of the three-story building attacked February 14.

Justin Gruber, a 15-year-old Stoneman Douglas student, said, “there needs to be significant change in this country because this has to never happen again”.
