    States "clearly have the opportunity and the option" to allow teachers who've had weapons training to carry guns on campus, Education secretary Betsy DeVos said on a Conservative radio show. http://abcn.ws/2o1S6sJ pic.twitter.com/eSv6xEIEh5

        You are a former teacher? Do you the meaning of comprehension? You obviously did not read the statement properly or comprehend.....teachers with proper training have the option to carry a weapon so....if you choose to that would be up to you. I am sure there are many that should!

        I would absolutely love knowing teachers in my kids school were trained and carrying. Why would you not? Why not use every advantage against something like this

        Are you going to love it when a student, another teacher, other adult...or someone who is NOT supposed to be in the building, overpowers that teacher, and goes on a rampage of their own?

        Really? That’s ridiculous. How about locked doors ALL the time and armed security? Would that be ok with you or are you just one of those that say ban all guns

        Our schools have armed campus police and some of our schools have teachers that carry. Unfortunately this is something that is obviously needed and will save lives if that time arrives. I don’t want my kids in a gun free school when a gunman shows up.

        News said There were 2 armed officers in this school and they weren’t of any help against an assault rifle. When an assault rifle was used IN an ARMED FORCES MESSHALL WHERE EVERYONE HAD GUNS..IT DIDNT HELP

        So you are saying that it is impossible to kill someone that has an assault rifle? While this person is firing rounds he can’t be shot from behind? Seriously? I come from a military family and know this is far from true. They need to train their campus police or rehire.

        Also why don’t these campus police have assault rifles in their campus vehicles? It is no secret that school shootings are usually done with assault weapons. Waiting for the swap team is not an option.

        Yes. That's what we need. Teachers, in today's school climate, walking around with a gun strapped to their waist. That's the day I quit teaching. Good God our leaders are tragically incompetent.

        Is the Department of Education buying every teacher an AR-15 and training them? They have to ask parents for dry erase markers and tissues? 🙄🙄🙄
