Trump criticizes Florida deputy, talks guns in schools

He spoke on his way to the Conservative Political Action Conference in Oxon Hill, Md., where he continued to promote his proposal - embraced by the National Rifle Association - to allow some teachers and other educators to carry concealed firearms in schools. "Now I'm not saying that you love the tragedy, but I am saying that you love the ratings". It would mark the strongest gun control laws in the state in decades, defying the NRA, but falling short of what gun control advocates have demanded.

Trump is under pressure to embrace stiffer gun restrictions, including a ban on assault weapons and limits on high-capacity ammunition, despite vehement NRA opposition. I can't feel comfortable in my country knowing that people have, will have, or ever [are] going to feel like this.

"I don't think I'll be going up against them. We want to be very powerful on background checks", he said. Wednesday they made their case at the Florida state Capitol; they also inspired a wave of walkouts and vigils across the country, including a group from D.C. who rallied outside the U.S. Capitol and marched to the White House.

And then in his next sentence, he may have given away the reason he and the NRA seem to be using similar, and sometimes the exact same, language.

Trump also repeated his support for strengthening background checks on gun sales and arming teachers and other school personnel.

This comes after last week's shooting at a high school that killed 17 people. All teacher training is expensive, and a physical skill like handling firearms would be even more so.

Trump elaborated on his ideas and other responses to last week's Florida school massacre, starting with a series of morning tweets and continuing later at a White House roundtable on school safety with state and local officials.

"I disagree with arming teachers", Scott said.

Decades of grim data show that having guns at home greatly increases the chance of them being used in a homicide, suicide or accidental death.

Proponents of the gun-free zones, which stem from a federal law passed in the 1990s, have long cited the disparity in the number of students who are hurt on school grounds versus off. "There are no words I mean these families lost their children".

Time Warner (TWX) Given Media Impact Rating of 0.07
The stock of Prothena Corporation plc (NASDAQ:PRTA) earned "Buy" rating by Deutsche Bank on Thursday, November 3. Zago Wagner M. sold $63,000 worth of Prothena Corporation plc (NASDAQ:PRTA) on Thursday, September 28.

Even Republican leaders fretted about the prospects for progress in Congress, which failed to pass gun control or background check legislation after the CT shooting and has long ground to a halt on issues such as health care and immigration.

Introducing guns in schools carries additional risks, and raises pertinent questions. Arming teachers does nothing to prevent that.

"Now, they have to be very adept". "I hear you" was written in black marker.

"So, we need the offensive capability, and we're going to be doing something about it", Trump said responding to critics to his proposal to arm selected school teachers with concealed arms. I don't like it. "I don't support that", he told her, citing his concerns as a father of school-age children and "practical problems".

Gov. Rick Scott also said he wanted to ban so-called bump stocks and would ask for $500 million in mental-health and school-safety initiatives.

The president also shifted blame from guns to violent movies and video games. "You really are inviting people to come in and do whatever".

"The Columbine era destroyed my entire career at the time", Manson told The Guardian this past September.

Trump later tweeted that he would "always remember" the meeting.

Chris Grady called the presidents' comments "a pathetic excuse".

The NRA opposes the measure, arguing that it would restrict the Second Amendment rights of Americans who are otherwise considered adults. "I would never, ever dream of taking the lives of any of my peers".
