WA Govovement Twists Trump's Words, POTUS Shuts Him Up Mid-Sentence With BRUTAL Reality
Check On Monday, President Donald Trump met with
U.S. governors in Washington, D.C., for the third time since taking office.
When Washington state Governor Jay Inslee confronted the president, trying to twist
his words, Trump shut him up mid-sentence with a brutal reality check.President Trump
met with governors from across the nation on Monday, and naturally, the topic of gun
control played a major roll in the discussion.
One governor, Jay Inslee from the state of Washington, stood up to ask a question about
arming teachers, and he was shocked when Trump didn't let him spout lies on national television.
Trump hosted governors from around the country at the White House Monday, during which he
had a tense exchange with Washington Governor Jay Inslee.
The president made opening remarks then opened the floor to questions from the governors.
Many of the questions and conversations revolved around the national conversation on school
shootings.
Trump has proposed arming up to 20 percent of the nation's teachers.
[Source: The Daily Caller] "Now, I know you have suggested arming our
teachers.
And I just…," Inslee began when he was given a turn to address the president.
"No, no, no.
Not your teachers.
Arming a small portion that are very gun adept, that truly know how to handle it," Trump
cut in.
"Because, I do feel, Governor, it's very important that gun-free zones, you have a
gun-free zone, it's like an invitation for these very sick people to go there," he
furthered.
"I do think there has to be some major form of retaliation if they're able to enter
a school," the president continued, setting the record straight.
"And if that happens, you're not going to have any problems anymore because they're
never going to the school.
So, it would be just a very small group of people that are very gun adept."Indeed,
President Donald Trump has proposed allowing "10-20 percent" of U.S. teachers to carry
a firearm in the classroom.
This percentage directly correlates to the percentage of teachers who already have a
military or law enforcement background, and thus, would be proficient enough with a gun
to defend their students if the need arose.
Trump has suggested that arming 20 percent of the nation's teachers could help prevent
school shootings like the one that occurred earlier this month in Parkland, Florida, that
claimed 17 lives.
The president also has said that those teachers trained to use firearms could even receive
extra pay.
[Source: HuffPost] Opponents of Trump's plan, like Governor
Inslee, have argued that teachers do not need this extra responsibility.
They have enough on their plates already, argue the naysayers.
However, the ability to defend oneself should never be seen as a burden, but rather, an
opportunity and a blessing.
Not everyone has that ability or that right.
We should be grateful that Americans do.
President Trump has even proposed offering teachers who carry a firearm a bonus.
This ought to sound like a welcomed incentive to those who consistently complain that they
are not paid enough.
This is not a program which would be mandatory, so those who feel that keeping a firearm in
their classroom would be burdensome could simply not participate.
But, for those teachers who would like to take a more active roll in their own self-defense
and the defense of their students, it would offer the ability for heightened safety in
the classroom.
Allowing teachers who are proficient with a firearm the ability to defend themselves
and their students in an active shooter scenario is the logical next step in school safety.
Although the left likes to ignore it, the fact of the matter is that, as the president
pointed out, there are already teachers and schools who have successfully implemented
this long before the president suggested it.
Frankly, it's a step more schools should have taken long ago.
If we had, perhaps the seventeen innocent people who died in Florida earlier this month
would still be alive.
