TIL Desk/World/Washington/ US President Donald Trump has reiterated the idea of arming teachers and sought offensive capabilities in schools to deter mass shootings. This comes after last week’s shooting at a high school that killed 17 people. The shooting sparked an intense push to restrict access to assault rifles fuelled by student activists who demanded concrete gun control measures.
“If, by the way, the bad guy thinks that somebody’s in this room with a weapon that’s going to be pointed at him, with live bullets, he’s not going into the school. It’s the one way you’re going to solve it,” Trump told reporters at a joint White House news conference.”You’re not going to solve it with gun-free spaces, because they’ll get in there and they’re going to be the only one with a gun.
So, we need offensive capability, and we’re going to be doing something about it,” Trump said, responding to a critics to his proposal to arm selected school teachers with concealed arms. Trump said it is ‘very, very important’ to have offensive capability, as well as defensive capability that’s within the schools. Insisting he will take action on guns and school shootings, Trump doubled down by saying that armed security guards are not enough and trained teachers should also carry guns.
