Pres. Trump endorses raising minimum age to 21 for more weapons
President Donald Trump said Friday that the armed school resource officer who stayed outside Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School as last week's shooting unfolded did a "poor job".
"Now, they have to be very adept". The school plans an orientation Sunday for teachers and students, with classes scheduled to restart on Wednesday. In a statement Wednesday, NEA president Lily Eskelsen Garcia said, "Educators need to be focused on teaching our students". "Up to States", Trump tweeted.
"Well I don't think teachers should have to carry guns, I mean they go to school to become teachers, not security guards". "But it's not enough and we're going to make sure they know it's not enough and is not solving our problems".
The president said unless a school has "offensive capability, you're wasting your time, you're wasting your time".
La Grande School District's School Resource Officer and Union County Sheriff's Dept. Cody Bowen said his biggest fear is that he'll not be there when he's needed.
Brandon Wolf, a survivor of the 2016 mass shooting at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida, praised the Parkland students for bringing an end to years of inaction.
The White House is inviting a prominent gun safety advocate to a meeting next week. The Department of Education estimates there are 3.1 million public school teachers and 400,000 private-school teachers.
Around the country, community members have opposed the idea of arming teachers but in some rural towns in Texas, students are welcoming it.
President Donald Trump is floating a unique two-step move on gun control.
Mr Trump has been proposing a growing list of ideas, including more stringent background checks for gun buyers, reopening some mental institutions to hold potential killers and banning "bump stock" devices that allow semi-automatic rifles to mimic machine guns.
Kansas Sen. Pat Roberts, another Republican, told reporters during a visit to the Kansas Statehouse that he supported raising age requirements, saying, "Certainly, nobody under 21 should have an AR-15".
"I hope this time will be different".
A strong supporter of gun rights, Trump has nonetheless indicated in recent days that he is willing to consider ideas not in keeping with National Rifle Association orthodoxy, including age restrictions for buying assault-type weapons.

Donegal to escape worst of snow but temperatures to plummet
Some areas will see snow fall but this won't be as significant as that seen in Eastern counties. "Very cold and frosty tonight". He expects "vast" quantities of snowfall by Thursday, severely disrupting road transport, public services and businesses.
The NRA quickly rejected any talk of raising the age for buying long guns to 21.
"Of course, we won't all agree on every issue, but I do believe this is a moment when our state can come together around a commonsense set of actions", Scott said on Friday. "I would like to see true people with great talent at guns, being adept at guns, of which there is only a percentage of people".
For Jim Krohn, a social studies teacher at Clarksville Junior High who volunteered to be one of the officers, the program is a good deterrent. Far more assets at much less cost than guards.
A beloved football coach and college-bound high school seniors were among the 17 people killed, and more than a dozen others were injured.
Trump continued to argue that armed school employees could fire back against shooters.
A day after the Parkland shooting, McConnell took to the Senate floor to condemn the vicious act, praise the heroism of first responders and send prayers to the victims.
Trump's call to restrict bump stocks like the ones used in last year's Las Vegas massacre triggered outrage among gun owners.
In July 2015, following a shooting at a military recruitment center in Tennessee that left four Marines dead, Trump tweeted in all caps: "MILITARY LIVES MATTER!"
"Nobody had guns but the bad guys".
"This is not the time", Republicans say, fully intending to make sure that the time never comes.
Trump is telling attendees at the Conservative Political Action Conference that if Democrats win they will repeal new tax cuts and take away their constitutional right to bear arms.
"I try like hell to hide that bald spot", the Preisdent said to cheers. But Trump says he's been speaking with the group, "and they do want to do the right thing".
"Our schools are essentially gun-free zones and that makes them very risky places", Mr. Trump added. "My first day, it gets signed, okay?"
