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.
If he could make it an executive order he would do it in a heartbeat.
In the latest shooting, an innocent student was handcuffed by police and held for a period of time because he bore some resemblance to the shooter (similar outfit and build). I would hate to think what might have happened if an armed and panicked teacher got to him first.

Trump is tweeting about arming teachers and coaches. Even if they are somewhat “trained” this is a terrrible idea. Being in a life and death situation with bunch of kids involved is a whole different ballgame than having “some background” or “training” with guns.

This. We criticize the hell out of police officers shooting in stressful situations and they are trained. Now we want Mary and George the math and english teachers to make these life decisions? Please.

I can't think of a single teacher, in either of my kids schools that I'd feel comfortable with handling a gun.

"These people are cowards. They're not going to walk into a school if 20% of the teachers have guns -- it may be 10% or may be 40%. And what I'd recommend doing is the people that do carry, we give them a bonus. We give them a little bit of a bonus," Trump said. "They'll frankly feel more comfortable having the gun anyway. But you give them a little bit of a bonus."

Not just a bonus, “a little bit of a bonus.” Must of been thinking with his dick when he blurted that out.

"If someone is approved to carry, they go through a psychological assessment very similar to a school marshal program that's allowed here in Texas,” Dockery said. “They also have to have a CHL and they would also go through training with law enforcement in our area."

“These people are cowards”? How is it that Trump knows so much about the psychology of mass shooters?
It seems that most are angry, desperate and suicidal. Knowing that a percentage of school staff are armed probably won’t make much difference. Going out in a blaze of glory is often the goal.

Or...we could just do the rational thing and ban AR and similar type weapons and not need to arm people whose primary skill is teaching, not tactical special ops.

Therefore the voters need to make the change because the cowards are owned by the NRA. When the cowards fear the voters more than the NRA, change will happen. I hope that's what we are seeing right now.

VOLUNTEERS!
?? That’s right, the armed teachers are volunteers. I have yet to see anyone say “ we need to require all teachers to arm themselves”

Its a a horrible idea. Period. More guns is not the answer.
(CNN)President Donald Trump spent Thursday grappling with how to prevent more school massacres and address the gun debate gripping the country, offering solutions such as giving bonuses to teachers who undergo gun training.
