Trump says it's 'up to States' to decide whether to arm teachers in schools

[NYcarbineer]

Omawgods! Despite all the claims by the Leftist DimocRATs that he;'s trying to take away our freedoms, President Trump is actually saying the Federalism is not the answer? That it's something engraved in the 10th Amendment of the Constitution?

How can this be?

"Armed Educators (and trusted people who work within a school) love our students and will protect them," he said Saturday on Twitter. "Very smart people. Must be firearms adept & have annual training. Should get yearly bonus. Shootings will not happen again - a big & very inexpensive deterrent. Up to States."

Trump has also said he backs several legislative changes in the wake of the Florida shooting, including strengthening background checks for prospective gun buyers, emphasizing mental-health treatment, and barring those under 21 from buying rifles.

And, of course, the Leftists instantly ask, :"Who's going to pay for it?"

IOW, despite all his rants, he's really firmly entrenched in the 'do nothing' camp as far as school security goes.

I'd leave it to the local school districts. It would cause a lot of conflict on the board level, but maybe that's a good thing.

 

[basquebromance]

no child should ever be afraid of going to school because cowardly politicians are afraid of the NRA!

 

[iceberg]

Teachers aren't trained like police, in dealing with an active shooter situation. And they certainly aren't paid enough to have to add that in to their already extensive responsibilities.

I could never imagine being put in a position to shoot a potential student of mine.

Shooting a potential student or potentially shooting a student?

I think your sentence structure is a little vague.

Potential in that they may or may not be in one of my classes. But yea it does read poorly.

That would require the legislature to give the Board that power, but OK, I can support that. Individual teachers, admin, and staff must have the right to opt out without prejudice.

Also...in doing this, it MUST be supported not only by the teachers but the local community who’s kids are in the schools.

The local community is repreesented by the School Board, the community public officials, and the legislature.

The parents don't get to veto the decision; they can home school or spend for a private school.

Let them die then. It's ok, Goddam forbid they have a chance to live.

Let's hope so. But if you want to say "I don't want my kid's teacher to be armed," you may find that the teacher will be armed anyway. But, yes, you should have your say.

There are other options than arming teachers, Mike. And like everyone is saying, it's up to the local school districts. Don't be so hysterical--you'll sound like Pelosi.

Not too sure about your community, but mine does have meetings and allows individuals to say their peace....but they really don't care. By the time meetings are held, decisions have already been made.

So far liar, the only "solution" is to keep letting them be murdered. Makes you happy don't it?

Yeah right--what Trump says and actually does are usually 2 totally different things. I remember him saying he would sign a DACA bill. So far 2 have been delivered to his desk, and he has refused to sign both of them.

Look if you can get trained deputies to run into a school to protect kids, you're not going to get teachers to do it.

Mental Health--Trump & Republicans already repealed the one that Obama initiated after Sandy Hook.
Trump repeals an Obama regulation keeping guns from people with certain mental health conditions

Obama asked Republicans to put people (terrorists) whom were on no fly lists, and FBI watch lists on no gun lists and they didn't even do that.

Then 49 people were massacred by a terrorist that was on the FBI watch list in Orlando, Florida, and Republicans still didn't do anything.
Orlando shooting: 49 killed, shooter pledged ISIS allegiance - CNN

So don't believe a word any Republican says--they know they're in hot water, and are just flapping mouths right now. They are controlled by a campaign cash cow, called the NRA.

The gun rights organization spent a stupendous $54.4 million in the 2016 election cycle, almost all of it in "independent expenditures," meaning spending for or against a candidate but not a direct contribution to a campaign. The money went almost entirely to Republicans to a degree that almost looks like a misprint (but isn't): Of independent expenditures totaling $52.6 million, Democrats received $265. Yes, that's 265 dollars.

'Thoughts and prayers' — and fistfuls of NRA money: Why America can't control guns

If you want common sense gun regulation in this country, you'll have to vote for Democrats this coming November during the midterm election cycle. No vote, or vote for Republicans all you'll get is more of the same with sympathies and prayer vigils.

Yet you liars can never say exactly what your common sense laws are. Or how they make anyone safer. All you seem to able to do is post misleading memes that make you look even more stupid.

Ok, what would common sense gun regulation look like?

1. Mental health background checks that Republicans repealed as soon as Trump was in office.
2. People who are on no fly lists & FBI watch lists are also on no gun lists.
3. A maintained required Liability insurance policy for all semi-automatic weapons, including those that currently own them--along with a required gun safe to store them, so they are not accessible to others than the owner, and the owner is only allowed one semi-automatic.
4. People with kids and teenagers at home are required to keep all guns and ammo in locked gun safes, so they are inaccessible to their kids at all times.
5. Gun shows are required to do background checks before any sale.
6. Straw buyers of guns, those that buy guns for others are under the same prosecutial standards as those that pull the trigger.
7. No Private sales: Colorado inacted this one. If you want to sell your gun, it goes to a licensed dealer on consignment so they can do a background check on the new owner.
8. Those who report people who are making threats, via social media outlets, or comments--(local law enforcement) investigates, & if reasonable cause exists, can seize all weapons and ammo, and the threatening person is put on a no gun list.
9. Raise the age limit on semi-automatics to 26. (I don't believe a 21 year old male is emotionally mature enough to handle one.)

Common sense gun regulations, that Republicans have refused to do after 9 mass killings in this country, or since they took over in 2010.

If trained Sheriff deputies won't run toward semi-automatic fire, teachers sure won't. This guy is beyond bat shit crazy. School teachers aren't the swat team.
