    @realDonaldTrump wants to arm 20 to 40 percent of nation's 3.5 million school teachers. Look forward to details of how he will train, protect and pay for 700,000 to 1.4 million teachers with guns. How do teachers feel about that?

        As a lifelong educator, people who say arming teachers is a good idea don't understand that teachers don't sit at their desks waiting for shooters. They are walking around the classroom helping their students. Teachers will be shot before they can get to the gun.

        Exactly! IF I were an armed gun nut entering a school with mass shooting in mind, the FIRST one I would "take out" would be the (probably armed) teacher! It isn't #rocketscience!

        He threw this idea out to see if it'll stick (it didn't ) but soon realized it doesn't have to stick, just having everyone debating about arming teachers instead of background checks , banning assault rifles or other solutions, is exactly what he and the NRA want.

        Speaking for my dad, who taught for 42 years. He said that if he wanted to carry a gun he would have been in law enforcement rather than teaching.

        Republicans don’t actually pay for things. That’s how they get wealthy.

        A society that thinks it needs more guns to protect itself from all the guns is sick. If you add all the other symptoms: for profit legal system, prison, healthcare & warfare; racism; poor education; corporate control of government; etc. I’d say this sickness is terminal.

        People also aren’t talking about how it will be harder to recruit good teachers when some don’t want to be in a workplace with armed coworkers.

        I like how you think teachers are incompetent fools who can’t possibly be trained to defend themselves or their students. You can’t hide your disdain for them. A gun free zone is a victim full zone, and that fact doesn’t care about your snide remarks or idealism.

        I have to send school supplies in with my kids for the classroom because of lack of funding. Where'd they find money in the budget to make our schools war zones? Protect the NRA not our kids.
