Former US president Donald Trump, the star attraction of the event, called for teachers to be armed and for it to be easier to confine 'the violent and mentally deranged into mental institutions.' texas trump roddelementary

It’s almost midday at the National Rifle Association convention in Houston, three days after the worst school shooting in Texas history, and dozens of people are sitting in a seminar being taught about how to prepare for such horrific attacks.

Two levels below, the first floor of the George R Brown Convention Centre is buzzing as gun-owning Americans weave their way through hundreds of stalls showcasing the latest firearms and gear: high-powered assault rifles; gun safety programs for children; military tactical clothing. “Every building should have a single entry point. No one should ever be able to get near a classroom until they have been checked, scanned and screened… Above all, from this day forward, every school in America should have an armed police officer or an armed resources officer on duty at all times.”“Clearly, we need to make it far easier to confine the violent and mentally deranged into mental institutions,” he said.

Scrutiny has centred on Abbott himself, and his decision to announce the details of the shooting that were later proved untrue.Republican politicians John Cornyn and Dan Crenshaw also withdrew, citing “scheduling conflicts”, while numerous musicians pulled out as well, includedsinger-songwriter Don McLean, who said it would be “disrespectful and hurtful” to perform so soon after the tragedy.

“I have two children in elementary school,” said the woman, who gave her name only as Leyna. “I don’t want to send my babies to school wondering if they’re going to die.”

I can’t recall any mass shootings where an armed civilian has jumped up and saved the day

Say what Cricky ‼️

Perhaps they could start with him

One could argue that refusing to accept the results of the US presidential election in 2020 is being mentally deranged...

Erm...let the ambulance come for Mr Trump first in that case🤣

What if some of the teachers become mentally deranged or having previously undetected psychological issues? Letting them carry guns with them at school will increase the chance of accidental or deliberate discharge of multiple firearms by teacher or students all within proximity?

Teachers to be armed 😯😳

Clearly has zero connection to reality

Put them into a mental institution starting with Trump

That idea would require nation wide, government funded healthcare, which I believe is a) Un-American, b) not cost effective, and c) Marxist/Leninist socialist fascism of some form or other.

Bikini girls with machine guns.

Gun laws work. Look at Australia. Plenty of open doors and not one armed police in any schools. Any hows blah

Yes the mentally deranged should be put into institutions. They can choose between the NRA or Trump Inc.

Police wouldn't go into the school with an armed man what are armed teachers going to do. Thank God he is no longer President.

Yeah, this 18-yr-old was clearly of sound mind when he decided to go out & murder children… Let’s stop the decriminalisation of marijuana & other psychosis-inducing drugs first, auspol. — “Cannabis causes psychosis. Psychosis causes violence” source:

Trump better be careful what he wishes for. Might find himself “confined” before too much longer…

Neither of those 18 year olds who went on rampages over the last two weeks had records or any history of mental illness that would have resulted in their committal to a mental institute. They could, however, buy semi-automatic rifles even though they couldn't by alcohol.

Wow kids wouldn't **** with me then. What an excellent idea that there is absolutely nothing batshit crazy about.

Perfect solution! Let's arm the teachers. That'll prevent more gun deaths and massacres. I seriously can't believe the utter stupidity of these gun loving Americans.

Teachers shouldn’t be armed for fuck’s sakes, gun control just needs to be exercised. It’s not fucking hard. Teachers don’t get paid enough to be responsible for shooting a teenager with an assault rifle.

ROFL if it wasn't so tragic. If they make it easier for the mentally deranged to be locked up, Trump would be the first one locked up.
