Trump Backs Arming Teachers in Wake of Florida School Massacre

President Donald Trump is embracing a controversial response to the latest U.S. school massacre: arming teachers and other staff to fight attackers.

Trump offered his support for giving teachers guns during an extraordinary White House meeting Wednesday with often-tearful, sometimes angry students and parents affected by school shootings -- including several from the high school in Parkland, Florida, where 17 people were killed on Feb. 14.

“If you had a teacher with -- who was adept at firearms, they could very well end the attack very quickly,” Trump suggested, drawing the support of some in the room and the disapproval of others. “We’re going to be looking at that very strongly.”
