No Money to Arm Teachers, But Lots of Money to Confiscate Guns
February 23, 2018
Daniel Greenfield
Priorities, priorities.
Editor-in-Chief of The Daily Beast John Avlon said arming teachers to protect students from mass shootings would be too expensive and called the proposal “problematic,†on CNN’s New Day.
“Not only is it well outside their core competency and requires a lot of training, but that training costs money,†Avlon said Thursday. “And you’ve got a situation where a lot of teachers in this country buy homeroom supplies. So all of the sudden we’re going to be finding money for them to be trained up to use a weapon in a classroom full of kids.

I read the article, and the "gun confiscation program" is not described or linked in any way.
I can attest to the fact that teachers do end up purchasing a lot of everyday supplies for their classroom, including paper, crayons, and pencils. I would certainly expect any weapons training and purchases to be made by the district, through the NRA's grants, rather than asking teachers to foot that bill.

Let's get real. 99 percent of today's teachers would shriek in horror and run if you tried to give them a gun. They are snowflakes raised in protected environments that think guns are for uncivilized savages,not THEM.
"Feel Good" nonsense from the right,nothing more.
