WASHINGTON: A ?Gun free? school is nothing but a ?magnet? for criminals, President Donald Trump said Thursday, a day after proposing to train and arm some teachers to keep US schools safe. ?Highly trained, gun adept, teachers/coaches would solve the problem instantly, before police arrive. GREAT DETERRENT!? Trump tweeted. At a White House meeting late Wednesday with survivors of a shooting rampage at a Florida high school that killed 17 people, Trump suggested arming a select group of teachers to deter mass shootings. ?I never said ?give teachers guns? like was stated on Fake News @CNN &@NBC,? Trump tweeted. ?What I said was to look at the possibility of giving ?concealed guns to gun adept teachers with military or special training experience - only the best. 20% of teachers, a lot, would now be able to...immediately fire back if a savage sicko came to a school with bad intentions. ?Highly trained teachers would also serve as a deterrent to the cowards that do this. Far more assets at much less cost than guards. A ?Gun free? school is a magnet for bad people. ATTACKS WOULD END!? Trump pushed his call to arm teachers following last week´s school massacre in Florida, saying it would be limited to those with military or special training but ?would solve the problem instantly.
