I prefer no guns in civilian hands for any reason...

@Tracos I would prefer gun safety classes start in first grade and continue through high school . In America having guns in civilian hands is precisely why we have our constitution and are free of tyranny . 350 million guns in private ownership are here to stay ... so instead of nonsensical and impractical ideas ... like disarming 80 million constitution loving Americans let’s deal with the elephant in the room... school shootings . The most practical approach is to allow well trained teachers to carry . Those who have qualified at the range and in defensive handgun tactics as well as security measures should be authorized for concealed carry in schools . For their troubles they should be compensated ( say an extra $350 per month and free ammo and range time ) and be provided recurring training . Libs whine that approach is impractical ... but it’s not . It’s common sense and libs know that. They would rather have the political issue rather than a solution . Teachers are at risk and get to huddle in their class rooms at regular pay , so I would imagine many would like the ability to defend themselves and their students . Trump is right ! No mass murderer is going to want to walk into an enclosed environment where well trained and motivated adults rain deadly fire on their parade . They just aren’t going to do it . Then while they're engaged fighting for their life the police will have had time to get there and with the help of those same teachers be able to immediately locate and take down the threat . That makes much more sense than assuming Americans will give up their freedoms or amend the constitution .
