Donald Trump wants to arm teachers with guns

I find it strange that anyone would actually be against having one or two armed security guards at a public school lol. Bizarro.

We have armed guards in casinos and banks because money is valuable.
We have armed guards in large jewelry stores because gems are valuable.
We have armed guards in warehouses because inventory is valuable.
Politicians and celebrities have armed guards because (they believe) their lives are valuable.
Museums have armed guards because fine art is valuable.

So do we value our children?

I find it so frustrating when you have guns a tool designed literally to kill people stop and deter killers is not seen as a problem.

Fixed that for you.

I find it amusing that religion teaches you non violence but somehow you manage to be pro-guns.

In my country we don't have armed guards but somehow we manage to not shoot each other.

Apparently here we do. Your point?

Reducing violence with violence , that allways works , everytime. My point.

I think having a couple of armed guards in public schools would be a good idea. But not teachers, obviously lol.

Then what do we  do put them in theaters, hotels , parks , Or any place a mass shooting might happened ?

You've hit on the unspoken reality.  The threat of a mass shooting is so low, going to these lengths to try and stop them is unnecessary. 

If the threat matched the rhetoric about the threat, then we'd absolutely want armed protection all over the place.

Lol. An armed guard protecting the school from some psycho killing kids isn't "violence with violence". It's self defence. Would you rather let the gunman finish his job? Might as well not call the cops then. What an odd thing to say.

My point is were does it end . Considering a shooting could happen anywhere do were simply guard on every block ?

Ironically more guns could actually work if you do it right.

Hey Muslims, Let’s Join the NRA. We Could Help Solve Gun Violence.

There are anywhere between 3 million and 7 million Muslims in the United States. There are only around 5 million members of the NRA. A mass membership drive by Muslim-Americans could effectively give them control of the organization.

It would also petrify conservatives the length and breadth of the United States. Within days, Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan would be lining up his GOP congressional colleagues to back emergency legislative measures, such as universal background checks and longer waiting times on gun purchases. Some right-wing pundits might even start questioning the hallowed Second Amendment itself. President Donald Trump, meanwhile, would probably start tweeting out attacks on the “losers” at the NRA for cozying up to “radical Islam.”

In Portugal, we have porters in schools. Usually older folk. Easily overpowered by someone intent on doing real harm, but that's clearly not a perceived threat.
I wish the US could evolve enough to reach that state of absence of perceived threat.
