what happens to those teachers that are (lets say) on depression meds? Or those that have been in a previous shooting and have PTSD? For their own safety, what happens if they are forced to carry a gun around all day long? What about devout pacifists? What about true Christians that believe in turning the other cheek to killing another person? Do they get to keep their jobs? Will they be branded as not good enough or not as good as their co -workers who are packing?....we already know they won't get paid as much under Trumps plan.

What a horrid, impractical idea.

There are more than 900,000 sworn law enforcement officers now serving in the United States,

Pressing this issue, I think the NRA is looking for a significant increase in sales...another bang up money maker for them and the manufacturers they represent! Not to mention the millions of kids that will be future purchasers who would be conditioned into thinking that safety would only come with possession of a firearm.
