Should Teachers Have Weapons In The Classroom To Help Increase School Safety?

#Roommates, do you think giving teachers guns is a good solution to help increase school safety? Donnie suggested the idea during a White House listening session today, where students and parents shared their stories of being affected by school shootings.

“If you had a teacher who was adept with the firearm, they could end the attack very quickly,” he suggested. “This would be obviously only for people who were very adept at handling a gun, and it would be, it’s called concealed carry, where a teacher would have a concealed gun on them.”

He went on to say that any armed teachers and school staff should be required to get training first. “They’d go for special training and they would be there and you would no longer have a gun-free zone,” he said. “Gun-free zone to a maniac — because they’re all cowards — a gun-free zone is ‘let’s go in and let’s attack because bullets aren’t coming back at us.’”

#Roommates, do you agree with this approach? Share why or why not in the comments.
