The irony this news coming on the same day that President Trump doubled down on his call to arm the nations teachers as a way to combat mass shootings
in schools. I think a concealed permit for having teachers and letting people know there are people in the building with a gun, you wont have, in my opinion, you wont have these shootings. Because these peop
shooting. the day after the shooting we arrested five just in our local area. that s just here not the whole united states. let me ask you this. we had a test case of this, did we not at parkland. because there was an armed school research, resource officer, sor as we know, trained uniformed guard, who didn t do anything. and listen i don t want to attack this one person too much. i spoke to a u.s. retired u.s. general tonight who commanded troops in iraq and said that reaction to violence is not uncommon. i mean, if the armed trained uniformed security guard at parkland didn t do it, why would we expect teachers like sarah or others to be that frontline responder? i wouldn t expect sarah to be a frontline responder. i would expect, when you have people like the officer there, just imagine if we had some teachers in the school that were certified and trained, we would at least have somebody in that school with a weapon.

media, eager to blame the nra and call for even more government control. they hate the nra. outfront now is former adviser to the trump campaign, steve cortes and former clinton white house aide steve boy ton. if i can begin there with the argument folks supporting gun control, brings in the media as well, are somehow just pursuing anti-nra gaepd. do you think that s a fair argument with any discussion of gun control after a shooting like this? no, i think it s part of it. because i think it s telling how quickly people immediately and particularly people in politics and media how quickly they try to blame the nra for this tragedy. and in fact the nra has brn diligently working to try to prevent these kinds of tragedies through things like arming our schools properly. i believe and the nra believes it s outrageous in america that our priorities are so misplaced that we grd our money and our
