          Of course @NRA wants armed teachers. It means expensive government contracts for gun manufacturers and thus more money for the gun lobby. #GunLawsNOW #GunReform

          Weird how we wouldn’t have to harden schools if guns weren’t so prevalent and widespread.

          ...and sell so many guns that we'll have turned our schools into prisons, our public spaces into shooting matches. The profits will be incredible! Lets have a 100% return on that $30million investment-getting Trump elected.

          No thanks, let's not spend countless billions arming 1+ million guards to make our schools prisons. The only people who would benefit are the gun makers.https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/politics/wp/2018/02/22/the-economics-of-arming-americas-schools/?utm_term=.24d055edc189 …

          Listen to this sales pitch trying to sell more guns. How is this the organization we listen to for advice on how to address this problem? Biased much? Ridiculous.
