        <description><![CDATA[<ol><li>It makes teachers a target.</li>
<li>They have enough to do.</li>
<li>Teachers don't get "in the line of duty death benefits" (like soldiers, $100,000, tax-free).</li>
<li>It makes the schoolhouse a war zone.</li>
<li>Should the gun-carrying teachers get higher pay (combat-pay) than the other teachers?</li>
<li>What happens if a gun-carrying teacher loses his or her cool with a student?</li>
<li>What happens when a teacher shoots a student at the presence of an intruder or out of control student?</li>
<li>What chance or comparison is there with a teacher with .38 or .45 mag and an intruder with a AR 15 Assault Rifle?</li>
<li>What happens when the gun carrying is absent the day an intruder shows up?</li>
<li>How will the gun-carrying teachers be placed around the school (logistics of the classroom)?</li>
<li>Will the students have the option to refuse to be a classroom with a gun carrying teacher?</li>
<li>Who determines how many guns carrying teachers per school?</li>
<li>Who will pay for the training of the teachers, pay for the guns, and does the teacher select the caliber of gun or all teachers to carry what's given?</li>
<li>Do the teachers take the gun home or store it at the end of each day?</li>
<li>Is it better to prevent an intruder from entering the building than confronting him in the classroom?</li>
<li>Should President Trump make his case to the NEA, UFT and other teacher's unions?</li>
<li>Must the teacher be required to wear a bulletproof vest?</li>
<li>Who justifies the teacher's shooting?</li>
</ol><p>These and other questions need to ask and answered without the influence of the NRA. The school needs a bigger budget, pencils, pens, and books, not bullets pistol-packing teachers patrolling halls and classrooms. God helps the children under Mr. Trump watch as President. CM</p>
