Trump: “I Never Said ‘Give Teachers Guns'”- Now, Here’s How I Want to Give Teachers Guns

Says Giving Teachers Guns ‘Would Solve the Problem Instantly’

Not even 24 hours after sharing his thoughts on how and why arming teachers would be beneficial in a school shooting as well as a deterrent, President Trump Thursday morning insisted he never said “give teachers guns” – then proceeded to again share his thoughts on how and why arming teachers would be beneficial in a school shooting as well as a deterrent.

The president posted a series of tweets attacking “Fake News” CNN and ABC, both of which reported what he said during a hastily-set up “listening session” with students, parents, and teachers affected by the Parkland, Florida high school mass shooting one week earlier. 

His tweets were childish and revealed a disturbing lack of understanding of the dangers of arming teachers – not to mention the vast majority of teachers do not want to be armed, arming teachers would create scenarios where they might shoot students by accident, or have first responders think they are the shooter, not a teacher.
