Trump says he wants teachers to have guns

100% in line with what the NRA wants him to say. Do you think turning teachers into armed guards is the answer to school shootings?

Hell, maybe it is the answer but they can't afford to pay teachers a decent wage here. Many classrooms without supplies and now they want training and have them carry a gun?

@SageWanderer Doesn't stop them from doing it in Oklahoma. They have been a while now.

@cherokeepatti Right now every county in West Virginia is on a teachers work stoppage because of pay and insurance. We have a 700 teacher shortage because they are moving to neighboring states for better pay. So where is the bonus money going to come from if the government here says they can't afford it?

@SageWanderer Teachers pack their own heat, so it costs schools nothing for the guns, it's all voluntarily and no one announces who has the guns, they have to show the certificates to the head honchos but even other teachers don't know

@cherokeepatti I'm open to hear anything and as I said maybe it is the answer. Or it might work in some places, not others. I sometime feel that Pandora's box has been opened and things are just not going back to what it was before.

@SageWanderer outlaw guns and the honest citizens won't have them for defense but criminals will use 3-D printers I'm sure of that, besides all the ones they've got hidden away for such a time.
@cherokeepatti Teachers packing their own heat means they have not been trained.

@Pitchblue they have too, they got a certificate and it comes before getting that.
