    Arming teachers is a terrible idea. It’s not what the students want, it’s not what the teachers want, it’s not what law enforcement wants, and it’s not what the American people want.pic.twitter.com/wnxlMI021y

        I understand your point, but what we are currently doing is NOT WORKING! You remember the definition of insanity: Repeating the same process over and over and expecting DIFFERENT results! Which is what we have been doing!

        Randy Weingarten who speaks for the largest teachers’ union made this point: suppose there’s a school shooting. What does the teacher do? Lead students to safety or shoot the gunman?

        Currently, all they can do is: (Using old Police jargon:) "THROW THE BOOK AT HIM"!

        I think you missed the point about the obvious conflict of interest.

        It was government incompetence from the FBI and the COWARD BROWARD SHERIFF'S deputies who took cover instead of saving the kids. The capitol is guarded with people who are armed, banks also. Nov 2018, BILLY YOU'RE FIRED!pic.twitter.com/XW8my0jOUS

        Killing a teacher who has placed his body in between the shooter and his students is a terrible idea. Allowing that teacher to have a gun gives him a fighting chance. #criminalguncontrol .@richardcorcoran @RickScottFL

        What people want is irrelevant. I don't want to be forced to defend myself. I want to live in a world where evil doesn't exist. We don't live in that world. Teachers, like myself, should be allowed to defend ourselves. It is our right. #GunsSaveLives #GunFreeZonesKill

        No, one uniformed offier among 1000 students is inadequate. There is not a level of security that is affordable and effective to prevent attacks of all kinds. Even the secret service fails to protect our president at times. We have a RIGHT to SELF defense just like anyone else.
