Trump Endorses Guns for Teachers to Stop Shootings - Sam Romine

The article comments on Trump's reaction to gun control advocates speaking to him on behalf of the victims and survivors of the recent school shooting in Florida. An angry father and a tearful, grieving best friend speak out against the ease of acquiring deadly "weapons of war." Trump responds to these speakers by suggesting teachers should be trained to carry a concealed weapon in an attempt to prevent future shootings.
In my opinion, Trump's thought of having teachers carry a concealed gun shows that lawmakers are moving in a direction to remedy the shootings plaguing America, but it would not resolve the issue and has the potential to worsen the situation. Stricter background checks and increased awareness of the mental health of gun owners is the way to go.

  1. Yeah I don't think having teachers carry a concealed gun is a very smart idea.
