News video: Trump Proposes Arming Teachers With Guns

Trump Proposes Arming Teachers With Guns At a Wednesday speaking session with survivors of the Florida shooting, Trump entertained the idea of teachers carrying firearms.

If you had a teacher who was adept with the firearm, they could end the attack very quickly.

A gun-free zone is 'Let's go in and let's attack because bullets aren't coming back at us.' He added that teachers would have to be trained first in order to stop "maniacs." Lawmakers, officials, and parents have responded to the idea with mostly positive reception, according to CNN.

If you could find 20% of maybe retired law enforcement officers, or a teacher who could go through discreet training to carry a firearm around his waist, it could've been a very different situation..
