    Wow. That's bad.

    I mean he's bad, but this whole other level bad. He had to come with a script on how to pretend to listen.

    That's an empathy cheat sheet for a malignant narcissist. I'm sure they'll have it laminated and ask him to keep it in his breast pocket for the next 3 years.

    i think point number six was going to be "Did you vote for me?" but an advisor talked him out of it.

    Let's just arm the students too just in case that happens, right?  How about we strap guns on our dogs too just in case.

    Yes. The 'slippery slope' argument works both ways.

    The resistance to change is utter nonsense. Foolishness really.

    He has Alzheimer's or some debilitating health issue that they're covering up. That's why they give him scripted responses and don't let him talk in public much.

    I wouldn't worry about a teacher snapping.  They could do that right now and bring a gun to school, and no one would know until it's too late.  I'd be far more concerned about the shootout in the hallways, if the teacher even brandished the weapon.  There is chaos with an active shooter, it's not mano a mano at the OK Corral, it's people running all over.  The teacher, who would likely not be an expert marksman, would be almost as dangerous as the shooter.  Sorry, the ability to teach children geometry and hit a moving target are generally not overlapping skills.

    Absolutely. What happens the first time an armed teacher snaps and goes on a shooting spree?  

    Let's just arm the students too just in case that happens, right?  How about we strap guns on our dogs too just in case.  

    I wouldn't worry about a teacher snapping.  They could do that right now and bring a gun to school, and no one would know until it's too late.  I'd be far more concerned about the shootout in the hallways, if the teacher even brandished the weapon.  There is chaos with an active shooter, it's not mano a mano at the OK Corral, it's people running all over.  The teacher, who would likely not be an expert marksman, would be almost as dangerous as the shooter.  Sorry, the ability to teach children geometry and hit a moving target are generally not overlapping skills.  
    or when the teacher, or any other "good guy" carrying a firearm for that matter, is confused for the actual threat by responding police and gets shot... I had a training by the police on active shooters last week... i've had several actually... and this is always a huge concern for them and a word of caution to the public that john q public with a conceal carry permit is likely to get shot themselves in all of the confusion...

    Too many Americans have some romantic view of john Wayne saving the day, when all they really do is make it that much more dangerous

    How many mistakes involving guns do we see everyday by well trained police? Now we want school teachers to carry and react with perfect decisions and accurate shots in high stress situations? 

    It's amazing how well the propaganda campaign works, so well that some Americans are actually discussing it as an option. It's absurd

    What is just as likely is that said teacher tries shooting at active shooter and then kills or maims an innocent bystander because of the chaos.  Will these states assume liability for that teachers actions when they are sued?  Probably not, considering that they won't even live up to their pension obligations in my state.
    Are we getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?

    Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned...

    That's exactly right.. it's chaos in the hallways.  The whole idea is absurd. Oh and btw, teachers are overpaid, remember?

    This armed teacher idea just sounds like a horrible idea. Not just in situations where there’s an armed shooter, but other times where there’s kids fighting and some teacher decides it’s time to take control of the situation with the gun. Or just some kid freaking out.  Not to mention when I think back to high school and imagine 20% of the teachers carrying? No thanks.

    People are overreacting to the idea of teachers being armed.
    Do you folks not realize that security guards are not usually highly trained or vetted?
    The Vegas shooter was a security guard.  

    Chaos in the hallways?  There's already chaos in the hallways, and the shooter is the eye of the storm.

    Trump thinks it's a great idea, that should give anyone pause.
