    No, it needs to be ridiculed. As does sending the president's daughter with no foreign affairs experience and no security clearance to South Korea to have discussions with no other qualifications other than being the president's daughter.

    I saw a interview my take was it does not really seem like she is for arming teachers as much as it is something to be discussed.

    It's silly. Even if it's true that violent movies and games are the cause of violent, what to do? Ban them?

    The fact is there are many factors that yield individuals using guns to kill and you cannot rid this world of those factors. What you can do is limit and reduce their chances of accessing effective mass killing instrument so they cause less death. Almost anything (or maybe everything) that can cause massive harm have been regulated to reduce their impact, except guns.

    Why does he constantly use the phrase "ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE SAYING IT" . . ..

    ....I believe that to be indicative of his pathological desire for approval and adoration from as many people as he can get.

    Helps when you believe the truth is (in modesty) flexible.

    Half the students at my school have been picked up thanks to some clown who thought it would be funny to send a threat via snapchat.

    Of course extra security is here so it's been a crazy day around here. Currently have 3 kids sitting here in my class scared to death.

    @DaltonPD:

    DPD on scene at report of shot or shots fired at Dalton High. NO CHILDREN ARE INJURED OR IN DANGER

    There is a barricaded subject in a classroom. It is believed to be a teacher.

    PARENTS DO NOT COME TO DALTON HIGH. Students will be taken to the NE GA Trade Center. Parents should go there

    Repeat: no children hurt, no children in danger.​

    Police: Teacher in custody after barricading self in classroom with gun

    DALTON, Ga. -- A teacher is in custody after police say he barricaded himself inside a classroom at a high school in northwest Georgia Wednesday, police say.

    Police responded to the report of shot or shots fired at Dalton High School in Dalton and reported via Twitter that a person, believed to be a teacher, was barricaded inside. A Dalton police spokesperson tells CBS News the teacher had a gun.

    Police later tweeted that the teacher was in custody.

    No children are in danger, Dalton Police said.

    One student apparently sustained an ankle injury while running inside the school during the evacuation, police said.

    Police say they don't have information to release about the teacher's identify or what caused the incident.

    I was about ready to say "arm the custodians" and then...

    So I guess we are down to "arm the school nurses!" and "arm the school librarians!"

    Just goes to show the absurdity of thinking that arming teachers will solve the problem.

    They don't care if it makes sense. As long as it sounds good to the typical Trump supporter.

    Just as being predicted, the teachers can shoot the students too, but it happens so quickly, none can anticipate this event.

    School nurses aren't trusted to give over-the-counter medicine to kids, and they're supposed to carry guns?
