Next mass school shooting: disgruntled armed teacher guns down their own students in a fit of rage.
Americans are not as gun-obsessed as some would like their countrymen to believe. Linking gun ownership to the identity of being an American has been a successful sales tactic that is more myth than reality. The numbers show that a small, unrepresentative, but disproportionately vocal portion of the American population, aided by self-serving politicians and a powerful lobby organization, has enacted its agenda over the majority of Americans, who do not own guns and would rather see much stronger gun safety regulations.
"If you had a teacher with, who was adept at firearms, they could very well end the attack very quickly," the president said. "And the good thing about a suggestion like that, and we're going to be looking at it very strongly, I think a lot of people are going to be opposed to it, I think a lot of people are going to like it. But the good thing is you'll have a lot of people with that."
The president, appearing to reference how football coach Aaron Feis died shielding students, suggested: "If the coach had a firearm in his locker… he wouldn't have had to run, he would have shot [Cruz], and that would have been the end of it."
He continued: "This would only obviously be for people who are very adept at handling a gun. It's called concealed carry, where a teacher would have a concealed gun on them. They'd go for special training and they would be there and you would no longer have a gun-free zone."
The president also mentioned a hypothetical scenario in which there would be armed military veterans in every school protecting students.
"You'd have a lot of people that would be armed, that would be ready," Trump said. "They're professionals, they may be Marines that left the Marines, that left the Army, left the Air Force... They'd be spread evenly throughout the school."
If would-be school shooters knew that trained vets and armed teachers populated campuses, "they wouldn't go into the school to start off with," the president said.
"I think it could very well solve your problem."
Turrets maybe.So what happens if the teacher misses... or goes on their killing spree?
