Unbelievably but perhaps unsurprisingly, Trump thinks that teachers should have guns to protect schools. That's right - fight guns with guns. How the hell did he become a successful businessman based with that kind of thinking?

By knowing what plays well to his audience, even if it wasn't the one in the room at the time.
This response will play well with the gun lobby and his gun toting supporters.

If you sell guns, it means more sales for you, good business, at least in the short term... :roll:

I couldn't believe that, when I saw it on the news yesterday evening. I also liked the fact you could read his crib-notes, point "5, I hear you"! :lol:

Teachers aren't psychic. They can't know that a student has come into school with a gun before that students starts shooting. Several people will be dead before they can react. Assuming the shooter doesn't shoot the adults first, then even more people will still die.

Also, we have to assume that teachers aren’t in the job because they have the skills/personality that would make for a good police officer. People moaned about the officer not responding to the shooter in the US school (though he was responding according to his training), being branded a coward for his actions, and losing his job. If teachers are armed, would the same labels be applied to them in that situation? The logic seems to be “if you have a gun, you’re expected to act like a hero”.

News clicky
Quote:
Ten people have been killed and 10 others are injured after a shooting by a student at a Texas high school, says the state governor.

Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez told reporters the majority of the dead at Santa Fe High School were students.

The suspect is in custody and he is 17-year-old Dimitrios Pagourtzis, according to CBS News.

Police said explosive devices were found at the school, 40 miles (65km) south of Houston, and off-campus.

Another sad day in America
