This reminded me so much about Jim Jefferies gun control routine with attention brought up on arming teachers and an armed security guard in schools:
Just some interesting facts: the school "Resource Officer", Scot Peterson - who was armed, trained, and chose not to enter the school earned $75K/year. He has worked in that position since 2009. The average high school teacher in Florida earns $45K/year. So the armed officer who was supposed to protect the school (amongst his other responsibilities) was paid 166% more than the people who will (under Trump's plan) be tasked with providing armed protection in the future as well as teach the Nation's children. Oh, and the GOP wants to cut the Education Dept budget further.
a security guard armed with a handgun is no match for a mentally disturbed man harmed with a military style A-R 15. this is not call of duty$80k /yr security guard who couldn't step up to the plate when called on, what a joke
But Trump expects teachers to do it.
And he's not a security guard, he was a fully trained, licensed and experienced police officer.
For a lot less money and less training. It's a recipe for disaster or more accurately - just a way to pretend that a "solution" is being proposed.
why i called him a "security guard", because he reacted like one
shieeet! if I was a teacher, and this happened in my classroom, I would want Trump to arm me with a bazooka

Of course he did. He showed that trump's plan of more guns in the school is terribly flawed at best.
Better security? This guy was a fucking police officer. What better security do you want? SWAT? SEAL Team 9?
a SEAL would do, not a police officer with no balls
It would be a lot more realistic to train a special forces operator to teach high school than the reverse. Maybe make teaching high school an extension of Hell week.
