Donald Trump wants to arm teachers with guns

[I_am_not_mafia]

Why not arm every school child with an AR-15? Even better, a live grenade.

I can't see how that could go possibly wrong.

Don't forget flamethrowers and Molotovs !!

And maybe body armour for the teachers. After all, as Trump says, one of them shielded the kids with his own body. If he was wearing a suit of armour then he could have walked up the shooter and hit him with his sword and shield.

And of course we have to make this a challenge so why not give the terrorists armor as well?

Given that over half of Americans don't store their guns safely, giving teachers guns would seem to be a really bad idea. Mr. Oberholtzer couldn't remember to lock his desk, never knew where his keys were. Great teacher, not much of a gunner.

I had a Mr. Oberholtzer as a teacher. You didn't happen to grow up in North Dakota, did you?

The Obie that taught me was in Indiana. Archetypical drafting teacher. Never let me turn in a drawing that wasn't going to get an "A".  "I expect more from you, Larry."

The only thing teachers should be armed with

Question would Trump zealots agree to give up their tax break and higher taxes to see that teachers are compensated for not only having to take an extra job and also to buy a firearm? would  Trump zealots agree to give up their tax break and higher taxes to pay for guards . 

My guess is no and their "concern " for children is an NRA ploy .

If "arm more" worked, the fact that firearm sales increase year after year, then why don't we see less firearm injuries and deaths? If more was better then why don't we see a reduction of mass shootings instead of having the most out of our first world allies? 

This has never been about safety or rights for the NRA leadership or the CEOs of these companies. As I said before, what how the NRA markets is just like how big oil paid lobbyists to keep lead in gas. 

The GOP cares nothing about public safety, nor the NRA.

Let's not fall for the same bamboozlement that put him in the oval office in the first place.

Public education has been in the cross hairs of his executive semiautomatic from day one. Whether or not he planned the shooting is irrelevant, it's still an opportunity for him to carry on with his plan and that's what he's doing.

He didn't make all those billions by being a big dummy. So don't think for a minute that he doesn't know exactly what he's doing.
