During his speech at CPAC Donald Trump gave us more insight on what he will back as it pertains to protecting schools.
President Trump at CPAC: “When we declare our schools to be gun-free zones it just puts our students in far more danger.” https://t.co/MncTz1bR1a pic.twitter.com/uDrpz4ueeb

As we have reported “gun-free zones” make areas far more dangerous. In fact, 98% of mass shootings since 1950 occurred in gun free zones.
I agree with Trump on arming teachers that have been properly vetted but I disagree with him on the fact that’s the only solution. We need more than just arming certain teachers we also need security in these schools. Armed Security, metal detectors, and better emergency plans should all be discussed.
