        Rather than guns, #ArmMeWith children who get three good meals per day and have access to both physical and mental health care. We will shock the world. #TeachersAndGunsDontMix

        No-one is lobbying to force the teachers to conceal carry, however if a teacher is properly trained and permitted, and has the desire to conceal carry, they should be allowed to. You can be a teacher and proficient with a firearm, the two aren't mutually exclusive.

        Trump specifically stated educators should have the right to arm themselves IF THEY CHOOSE. Big difference from being forced.

        No one said all teachers had to be armed. I feel certain that there are some who would willingly be armed to protect their students and themselves.

        A Teacher's weapon is knowledge. More guns are not the answer. Even in the so called Wild West teachers were not armed.

        i somehow doubt that during the age where every one and their children were allowed to carry guns, that teachers were not armed as well

        How about training our Swat Teams to become teachers?

        I'm sure it was a consensus form the Union... 😂All you have to do is ask the football coaching staff at every school.

        And yet Ohio has been arming teachers for 5 yrs. The Buckeye Firearms Assoc FASTER program has taught over 1,300 teachers and school admin from 225 districts and 12 states. http://www.FASTERsaveslives.org  . I guess the American Federation of Teachers isn't up to speed.

        No one is saying make teachers carry guns. Saying that, there are teachers who are trained and comfortable with the idea of doing so. Your analogy is flawed, unless you believe in taking cars away from sober drivers to reduce drunk driving.
