Due to the recent gun shut attacked in the school. President Donald Trump proposed that teachers should be going to school with guns. He gave his own reason quoted below
"During an emotional discussion at the White House, Mr Trump said his plan for guns in schools would mean about one fifth of teachers receiving special training and carrying concealed weapons"
Do you think this is a nice idea from the world president?

I think that even in the most isolated places of Earth people know the old McDonald Trump so this is not only a question if it is nice, but rather is the insane? I mean what is he going to do? Swat school for children??? It is easier to ban weapons.

Well, its not nice idea teacher going to school not attacked, they teach the srudent peoperly not to attacked having a lessons and learning ro the student, its better having training in school not using killing things, its just a self defense or takewandow much better

Well at some point trump is right but it depends on the teachers how they do it how they handle it. because every teachers dont want to use guns and also they dont want to get theyre hands dirty. they need Education for the Students not self defense may be having a guard that patrol at school helps or make it double the guard to tight the security. 

I think it's a totally inappropriate response to the recent shootings because it doesn't necessarily solve the problem. Guns will still be readily available for people who wish to do harm, and in regards to his argument that potential shooters qill think twice before attempting to shoot people qhere there are armed teachers, these people aren't really known for their logical and rational way of thinking. They'll still push through regardless of the risk and the situation become that much dangerous because the gunfire will now be coming from two sides, increasing the chances of friendly-fire.

Every time a leader will decide under by his emotional unstable there is no good point that will stand if it will put on the table and make reason for every possible moral question. But sometimes a leader will always be a leader and can abuse his/her leadership by not listening the others good advice. I say this because I believe what trump is doing is not a good idea that can solve the problem and this can't help the students to be at peace while they are in the school and seeing their teachers with gun.

Sooner schools in US will become "school of military." ;D. Just kidding.

as long as the person can deliver the lesson well, why not?? there is no such thing as a perfect teacher but a million reasons to become a good one. i don’t care if he is a military officer or of other professions..

It a different thing to be a military teacher and a civilian teacher. The two are not the same and can never be same. The true of the matter is that the military are used to handle weapons like guns and may have self control in some situations. But the case might be different in the later.

Thanks everyone for their answers and help! :)

Absolutely , This idea is not the greatest of trump which He has been creating so far. An armed teacher cannot be proper for any school on earth. Donald Trump is the most lunatic leader of United states of america.

Yet it is good for the teacher's safety and school. I think it is good to give the power to the teacher who is more responsible to hold a gun because we all know that guns are evil and it may cause harm for the people.

I'm sure the jews of Nazi Germany would disagree with you on that... if they could.

Uhm no... Why not just have a tighter gun restriction and regulation, or better yet just ban owning ammunition by civilians. I mean sure you can buy  guns if you're a collector but since your focus is collecting then owning any ammunition should be entirely with the police enforcers. Furthermore, a teacher wielding a gun in class would just reinforce the notion that if you have a gun, then you are superior to everyone about you. Which is never a good idea

I accept an army teacher because as an army they have alot of training to pass and if they apply there experience inside the class the students are very respectful.

No as of now the students have the right not to undergo a very strict teaching and what they want is to an understanding for being a learner.

I am absolutely against it. For weapons you need a reliable storage space. Children can steal weapons to make grief. To ensure that the school was protected, they need to put the guard on!

I would like to say, as much as guns, have really killed people due to bad handlers, so it has saved a lot of people also, but the idea that teachers should be going to school armed is not a good idea, because that means a terrorist dont need to bring his gun to school to start a terror, there is a gun waiting for him or her in school ..

for me, i agree and accept a army teacher because now a days some students have guns, bullying, and taking drugs  the army teacher can protect the innocent student and with the army teachers they will be the one who care of the arrogant student.

Yes as long as they know the teaching ethics and maybe they should put into consideration their limits as a teacher.They undergo into very hard training unlike to normal teacher so,their way of teaching most likely different.

My teacher will teaching with a gun? Wow.  ??? ??? ???

See page 180 of the thread What's your opinion of gun control? - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1093806.3580 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1093806.3580).

Gun control is one of the most issue of USA. I wish the USA goverment band guns

Me too. Why? Because the people would openly revolt, and Government would come tumbling down.

No, I think the army is evil. ;)

For quite some time now, teachers have been armed in various schools.

The army is not strong enough to fight the people of the USA with their guns, and hold off invasion from some other country at the same time. Army leaders would not order the army to massively take over America because they know this. They don't want to lose their positions of control, but that is what would happen if they ordered an full, internal, military action. Remember the Civil War.

Don't you think someone who wants to hurt other people will be able to do that, with or without a gun?
I'm sure someone who hates the world could run around and kill many people with a knife, already happened tons of times..

If (select) teachers, that are reliable (not like 20 year old substitute teachers), would have access to guns to protect their students, and of course they must be comfortable with it,
then I see no problem. Why not?

That’s shouldn’t be the way to combat that killing at all, the teachers are having it hard enough teaching, they shouldn’t be accountable for the security of the school as well. They should hire real professionals to take care of the security of the schools.

I think this would just cause more tension for everyone. Imagine if a teacher suddenly lost control or was having 'a really bad day' or has become mentally unstable. What then?  :-\

I think that is not a good idea. When teachers has a weapon or should i say gun in school and their students are so noisy and dont follow them there are possible to use their gun against their student . If someone dont follow what we want we getting angry , right ? So it is possible that teachers shot their student and the worst is killed them.

Ill think it needs some vote if the are want to bring guns into the school and make some training about, But for me ill think it was not good idea because what if the teacher if he or she angry on his students maybe this will have chance to shoot the student if his angry cannot stop.

Yes. I think that is a great idea. The best way to save someone is to teach them how to defend themselves. I think Trump is also thinking the same. With training and knowledge, the previous incidents can be avoided and the damages can be minimized. Although those crazy people are uncontrollable, the government should do something to prevent another shooting incident. Training and educating people about the right thing to do in a situation will actually. Good thing they came up with this idea.

I think it will cause a negative and positive impact. The positive impact is that children in school can be protected if it will be a danger, and the negative impact is when children know that their teachers bring school weapons and that will make them afraid, and if misused can endanger their lives.

I think this won't resolve the problem. Letting teachers have gun in their class is so hazardous. What if the teacher experience something, then they might also use it and make the incident again. Yes it would makes the students safe somehow, but this might also makes the students be afraid of their teachers. Instead of doing this, government could focus on helping students who experience something with their life. Also, government could also make schools be secured enough not with this proposed act.

What if one of the teachers with a gun would be a killer in disguise? This could also happen

Well its okay. Like in our country were open to teach our people on how to use weapon for our own safety we need to protect our self and make sure our loveones can defend them selves.
Getting army for teacher is good aldo Great descipline can give and teach to their children and give a knowledgeble things about weapon. Ofcourse theres a limit on what they teach for the safety of the students. Nothing is wiser to get a army teacher. :)

Guns are like toys to students. Too many have just died in school after such a reckless use of it. Teachers and innocent students getting masssacred. Yet still for me this do not weigh that much to give teachers a chance to depend themselves. Army teachers do not solve the problem. I think what is best is to securely attach scanners and snipping dogs at school to see guns being carried. And even before the enter school the gates must have a scanning device. More security personnels or guards must be positioned. In this way nobody will be harmed with those trying to bring guns. For me this the most appropriate solution.

No, its a bad idea. What if a teacher with a gun decided to shoot somebody? I believe the problem lies within their restrictions and qualifications to owned and possessed a firearm. That is the simplest answer why shooting incidents are increasing in the U.S.
Because its easy to owned a gun and a lot of people are carrying guns in the U.S, their government should impose stricter laws about it and citizens who want to owned a gun should pass through tough examinations with advanced psychological testing and other higher qualification process.
Giving a teacher a gun merely scratch the surface and it wont solve the problem.

they will teach you with a gun that ripple is the coin to sell your time for.

I don't think that teachers should have gun with them while studying. I do not think that it is a good idea from the world president to say it because of these reasons. First, I think that it would make students uncomfortable and it would become very difficult for them to concentrate and focus to their studies knowing that their teachers has a gun that in a blink of an eye may use it and shoot whatever and whoever. Second, educational institutions should promote peace and order. But if teachers has a gun, isn't it violence that they are promoting? How can they teach everyone with peaceful talks if yhey themselves has a violent thing? Lastly, I think that it is way beyond the teachers mandate and work. We could just let the security personnel carey a gun and do their thing.

The problem is with gun laws. "army teachers" will not help the cause, they should look at why the shootings are happening, people will still get killed- army teacher or no army teacher.

I strongly disagree, before I apologize if my word is wrong ..
I do not agree because it can harm students,
Sometimes there are students who are naughty, but is it worth it if there is a naughty student then the teacher pointed a gun to the student, is it not dangerous?
Hopefully this can be reconsidered ..

In chaotic times like these I think it's Ok. The teachers won't kill their students, they would use weapons only to protect them, if needed. Guns aren't evil, people using them may be. And when there is an evil person using a gun, it's better you have a good person near you with a gun too...

Thieves, criminals, psychopaths will never follow the law. You can forbid guns, but they will keep armed, while the good citizens, following the law will be slayed without the minimum chance to defend themselves.

In my opinion, I dont think allowing the teachers to carry a gun at school is a good idea. Maybe  can carry it outside  school for their own safety, but should not be carried inside. I dont think the students can focus on their lessons knowing that their teachers have guns inside their bags.

I mean it is really a tough issue because more and more often in the USA kids are getting killed and they are getting targeted because they are defenseless so there has to be some sort of defense mechanism put in place. Maybe carrying a gun isn't the correct solution maybe it is, but I don't think banning guns is the answer either. But the fact of the matter is psychotic people are getting their hands on guns and killing innocent people so something must be done.

historically over most period of human history the schools teachers were in one or the other form intertwined with the military of a society, take the medieval schaolin monks in china, they werent just cultural and educative, but also militaristic, or the medieval nobility schools

I don't think it is a terrible idea. I wouldn't want to force the teachers to carry a gun if they didn't want to. I think it should be a concealed carry thing. Honestly, it is impossible to get rid of guns. if the school isn't getting attacked with an assault rifle than its getting attacked with a shotgun, or a handgun, or a pipe bomb. None of that is going to stop. there are to many guns in circulation for that. Its just plain unrealistic.

I have personally been in environments where almost everyone had guns. They were all trained to handle and use them. they all knew how to care for them etc. The guns were all out in the open and everyone knew. I didn't find it to be hostile in any way and the guns themselves weren't a big deal.

The idea behind having teachers with guns is that someone with bad intentions knows that if they try anything wild they will be met with appropriate force in response. that is their deterrent. 

I have heard of several people that were in violent situations and had stated to the media that they wish that they had a gun to protect themselves. I know that I personally would prefer to have the ability to fight back.

Why not. If someone is prejudiced against the gunmen standing on the podium then think again. It comes from the passion of work or at least they have chosen for themselves a useful work for the society rather than the inexperience of the profession and expect the government subsidy

I think almost teachers are not violence people , maybe they will be scared if they draw the gun , and it will be more dangerous . Even they will be trained , they are not soldiers , so no one can make sure that they can control guns when we got terrorists . So my opinion is just more security , but it's complicated because "THIS IS AMERICAN" ......!!

I think this is a very stupid idea, the teacher is there to teach the students not to fight, the teacher does not need weapons, the teacher just need to give knowledge to his students.
if this is realized there may be many students who feel pressured by this policy, it will be a psychological schoolchild of children in school

That’s not even a good idea. The whole point is to be safe, not make the children more scared than they were. Seeing, knowing and hearing their teachers have guns would make them think there will be another incident like before. It could also trigger some students to steal the gun and use it on their classmates. Children and minors shouldn’t be anywhere near these weapons. It’s dangerous.

Since we don't have a world president, there is no way to determine if this would be a good idea from one.

Guns in the hands of school faculty would give them a chance to protect themselves and students from criminal shooters. Or does someone think that school boards are in the habit of hiring criminal shooters as teachers?

I think this is utter stupidity. Why try to solve a problem that has an apparent solution otherwise? I believe this is just like a facade to make it seem like something is being done. Why should we subject kids of that age to so much interaction with ammunition? What makes schools different from a warzone then? Enact proper laws concerning gun control like every other developed country. Then watch things turn around fast. But being in bed with the IRA will never permit them to have such courage. Every other excuse given is just some cover-up story.

Some do. Some don't. Many students and their parents see a military high school as a logical first step down the path to military service at some point. But it is just that: the first step. Going to college is the second step. Military service is the third step.
Military schools can help your child develop good habits of discipline and structure. Just about anything worth doing well requires lots of discipline. Discipline takes hard work, persistence, stamina and time. Children need to learn how to work hard, be persistent, develop stamina and patience. A military school education can help provide the structure to accomplish those aims.

Simple question. When there is a shooting, what is the most prudent response? Call the good guys with guns. Problem is response time is an average of 10-15 minutes at best. That is a long time for some one who wants to cause harm, to cause harm unimpeded.

Please explain to me how having trained individuals willing to protect children risking THEIR OWN LIFE in the process and reducing response time is a bad idea. Please do refrain from using wild West shootout cliches to make your argument and stick to facts. Thanks.

Guns are already banned in most schools. Clearly it isn't working. Criminals don't give a shit about laws. Who knew?

Definitely a big NO. A teacher should set a good example for the young ones. If teachers carry around guns, violence will look acceptable to those young children.

How much are these teachers being paid in the first place and now the government wants to add a security role to their already tedious job. The government should just hire the proper personnel to protect the children when they are at schools and not make the teacher do this kind of job.
