rmt doesn’t care about government spending anymore. That was so 2008-2016.

Thought Tapper fake news tho?!?

Considering the heroism of some of the teachers at Parkland, I can understand the harsh criticism of the officers who didn't confront the gunman. However, the gunman did have a powerful AR-15 and they probably had lowly pistols so it wasn't exactly a fair fight for them either. Either way, they should have confronted the gunman but I can at least understand what they were probably thinking... maybe.

It's different if one is not in immediate danger (like these officiers) but I think teachers/coaches should be allowed to carry/defend themselves and their students - they were the ones in danger and any gun is better than nothing at all. Also add metal detectors/xray machines to schools.

Both have actually been done. Texas school districts can choose to have teachers with guns, it's a bit secret as the public does not know which school districts and which teachers within that district actually have a gun on campus with them. It's said to be smaller districts in rural west Texas and some small ones on the border with Oklahoma. It works the same way as air Marshall scecrecy. We have little idea how well it works but it apparently makes people feel safer. The metal detector stuff took place in urban NE and others. But you want to federalize it? Also there was some method of "votin" the Texas school districts used for parental input. It is assumedthat none of the big urban school districts in Texas use the "secret air Marshall method". Most districts that approved this are thought to be a significant time away from first responders. The teachers are trained by local law enforcement. I will try and find the link. The supers of the small districts interviewed for the article.

cant find the one I read and off to work

the same guy who almost his pants when the SS had to tackle a weirdo behind him

Yeah, now willingness to carry a gun around children ready to kill at all times will be the litmus test for "good" teachers.

Such a courageous man

Trump's problem is he isn't carrying multiple firearms himself at all times.

Seriously, how can anyone trust him to handle babies if he's not willing to kill for them right at that moment?

I'm sure if they would have let him go to Vietnam he would have had brought home at least a dozen purple hearts
