      Darrell Scott, father of daughter killed in Columbine, is speaking now. He has previously criticized people for criticizing the NRA and calling for gun control, telling a House committee in 1999, "We do not need more restrictive laws."

      Darrell Scott says teachers shouldn't focus so much on "diversity," because that creates division, or on "unity." Rather, he says, the focus should be on "how to connect."

      The man who answers first says one possible solution, "which may not be very popular," is to have people in schools, such as teachers, have guns. He adds: "If it's not the teachers, you can have people who work on the campus...a custodian." Or an undercover cop in the lunchroom.

      This gentleman says it'd be anonymous - nobody would know who has the guns, and they wouldn't carry them on their person - but would have them in a safe in the classroom, and when the lockdown starts, the teachers would "do what needs to be done."

      The next speaker, I believe Douglas student Blank's mother, says there could be another armed cop on campus, since one deputy wasn't enough in this case.

      Trump notes that many mental health institutions have closed. "Today if you catch somebody they don't know what to do with them...there's no mental institution, there's no place to bring 'em," he says.

      NEWS: Trump endorses arming teachers as a solution for school shootings. Says if football coach Feis at Douglas had been armed, that would have been "the end" of the shooting.

      Trump: "If you had a teacher who was adept at firearms," that would end the attack "very quickly." You can't have "100 security guards," he says, but you can give "a lot of people" guns - "they may be Marines."

      News: Trump now appears to be endorsing the Fox News-promoted idea of sending veterans into schools with guns. He says ex-Marine, ex-Air Force people could "be spread evenly throughout the school," and that could "solve your problem."

          This is really something - Trump's most enthusiastic proposal, in his "listening session" on school shootings, is: A) encouraging teachers and coaches to carry guns; B) sending a company of armed veterans into schools.

          Douglas student Sam Zeif is the one strong voice for gun control at this meeting. Speaking again, he says, "These are not weapons of defence, these are weapons of war. And I still can't fathom that myself, I'm able to purchase one."

          Trump in closing: "We're going to work very hard. It's very difficult, it's very complex, but we're going to find the solution." He says he's going to go "very strong" into "age of purchase." (Feinstein has proposed raising the minimum age for AR-15 purchases from 18 to 21.)

          FYI: David Hogg, the Douglas student prominent in calling for gun control, was invited to Trump's session but declined, the AP reports. So it's not immediately clear how much of the Trump-friendliness of that group was the result of non-invitations or non-acceptances.
