Well, now in the aftermath of the FL shooting, Trump has come out with a "solution".................
He says he wants 10 to 40 percent of the teachers in schools to be trained to carry a weapon and armed while in school. He also said he wants to use federal funds to train them, as well as give each armed teacher a 1,000 bonus for carrying a weapon.
A couple of points here......................MOST of the teachers I've seen so far on the news when asked if carrying a weapon in school was a good idea, said no. The ones who thought it was a good idea were firmly in the minority.
And.................federal funds for training as well as giving the teachers who are armed bonuses? Okay, but a quick question.........................where is the money going to come from? Are we going to cut down on the kids education to have armed teachers? Trump just cut taxes for the whole country and is now looking for more ways to spend money we don't have.
Anyone else think this is a good idea? If so, why? And, how would you propose we fund this program?
