Trump is saying at CPAC that an armed teacher would have blown the Parkland shooter away...

[brooklynite]

This however is knowable; there is a specific list of faculty and staff at the school. WHICH person would have had the shooting skill and temperament to take on the shooter?

1. Yes. Let us scare students from coming to school. Betsy DeVos must be smiling

[Eliot Rosewater]

2. Their hope is teachers quit and schools shut down so she can open for profit schools

that not only dont teach science but teach creationism.

We are so fucked, the NOSE HOLDERS have fucked us.

5. B.I.N.G.O

Homeschool USA... with a nice little coupon to purchase password for "Govt. approved" cyber education. It accomplishes so many of their long time goals like.... control of content, eliminating the teacher's union and the need for teachers at all, and it keeps the " little woman" at home where she belongs.

3. The response to this needs to be loud and relentless mockery and contempt. Nothing else.

4. The good guy w/a will stop a bad guy w/a gun meme

In Central OH we just lost two really damn good guys with guns (cops) to
a bad guy w/a gun. One had 29 years of experience and the other had 15
years experience.

7. It's a gosh-shucks Norman Rockwell view of America

that's taken a dark sinister turn at the hands-off these gun nuts.

8. Really?

A teacher armed with a pistol going against a AR style weapon with a massive amount of bullets in a huge clip? Coming from someone to much of a coward to fight in a war and use a gun when he had the chance. Your suggestion is not only bad, its idiotic, and shows you're dysfunction is dangerous, and deceptive. What next, a bigger bonus for the kills.

9. Why does he think that giving a teacher a firearm would suddenly turn them into Rambo?

IMHO, having a loaded gun in the classroom would pose a greater threat than a possible shooter. To be effective at all, the weapon would have to be easily accessible to the teacher, which would probably mean that students could find a way to access it, as well.

11. Please A.G. See the new Trump/NRA teacher's school

[Arkansas Granny]

12. Yep. I wonder if he got his idea from watching old movies.

10. Even if Trump had a gun in that situation, he would be hiding behind some kids in a closet
