I saw this as nothing more than grandstanding by Trump. Yes, I believe he -- graycalhoo 02/21/2018 6:55PM

Because either he, or someone smart with his ear -- wahoo138 02/22/2018 12:29AM

This is possible, but the point still stands -- graycalhoo 02/22/2018 08:24AM

The guy has no moral center at all. Which says a lot about the “Christian” -- WahooRQ 02/21/2018 10:09PM

President Obama met with every family individual, not a critique of Trump, -- hooshouse 02/21/2018 6:47PM

Some people just like an arms race I guess -- Beerman 02/21/2018 5:37PM

Who has suggested only arming teachers? Face it even we banned guns, it -- Hokie5150 02/21/2018 5:59PM

There is tech out there the NRA opposes that would only allow a gun to be -- hokienole 02/21/2018 11:58PM

The idea of arming teachers is ridiculous -- hooshouse 02/21/2018 5:37PM

I would agree that simply telling random teachers that they can bring guns -- Hokie5150 02/21/2018 6:03PM

No one is arguing for that. At most if the teacher is highly trained (CCP -- Hoodafan 02/21/2018 6:00PM

You didn't listen to the listening session. ** -- hooshouse 02/21/2018 6:11PM
