His answer to cries of survivors of repeated gun attacks in schools and the parents of the deceased is to give more guns. How is this mad man still in the presidential role?

It takes around 8 minutes for first responders to arrive after being alerted
8 minutes is an awful lot of dead children |

If America had more stringent rules over gun control teachers would not have to have guns and could focus on teaching. A novel thought I know.

They have to stop selling guns like candy and limit guns sales. No member of the public needs an automatic or semi automatic.
Arming teachers is a stupid idea but let's be honest the lack of gun control in the US is about the power and money of the NRA. They dish out cash and are allowed far to much influence. People with mental health issues isn't their problem either. It's mental people getting easy access to guns that is their problem. http://www.dailyherald.com/news/2018...peoples-hearts

Yes, a more accurate version of what is actually going on,at least he is listening,it's always a step in the right direction,plus shooters were killing in schools long before he became president and nothing was done then,maybe this time something will change.

POW! BLAM!

Maybe not every teacher should carry a firearm, but allowing someone on the premises the means to defend themselves isn't the worst idea.

I think he may actually get something done as the NRA feel he is onside - if Clinton was in charge they would have just blocked everything. I think ironically Trump is probably their best hope right now.

Logic but everyone knows why he isn't doing that and it's not because he wants to help stop incidents like this.

On this particular issue he is very much the spokes person for the NRA which you know very well but carry on pretending that isn't true if you like

I just watched a news report about this and even the presenters were uncomfortable. He actually said it in front of the survivors of mass shootings and parents who lost their children. It was disgusting. He also explained what concealed carry was, as if he was speaking to complete morons. It's disgusting what some people will do for money.

I agree with Jessica - what he said infront of the survivors and victim's families made me extremely uncomfortable. Even if he knew he wasn't going to do exactly what they wanted he should've just comforted them and assured them things were going to be ok and get better - instead he made them more worried and angry
He has no heart or compassion for anyone, which is quite scary

We all know the answer to the firearms problem in the USA is not to have more guns. Trump's between a rock and a hard place... Oppose the NRA and lose support among his core voters, or side with the NRA, keep all the funding and the kickbacks and lose the trust of the rest of the USA. This is probably the dodgiest place he's been since he took up office, and let's face it, that's a pretty strong field.

I understand guns are a big thing in America, I have been to Texas and saw people walking around supermarkets carrying guns but the laws need changing BADLY. I saw something on TV the other day and a 14 year old was refused alcohol, cigatettes and even scratch cards but allowed to buy a gun without a problem, that is insane to me. I don't believe arming teachers is the answer at all.

Honestly, if they want to stop mass killings at schools etc having armed teachers or police/guards is the only realistic solution. We may say WTF over here, but banning guns wont solve anything in the USA, arming people that can protect the kids will
