Trump calls for teachers to be allowed to carry weapons

Former US President Donald Trump has called for teachers to be allowed to take up arms in the wake of the Texas school shooting, which killed 21 people.

Addressing

the National Rifle Convention in Houston

Texas, on Friday, Trump said: 

• "We can all agree that our schools should not be targets.

• The time has therefore come under the Comprehensive

• School Security Plan to allow trained teachers to conceal a weapon. "

1. Trump also called for increased funding for the police
2. and expanded recruitment to improve their training across the country
3. "noting that" this is a matter of will, not money

If the United States has $40 billion for Ukraine

we must be able to do everything we can to protect our children. "

Trump proposed

providing schools with metal detectors and deploying

police or armed guards to schools.

He called for Democrats not to be allowed to impose restrictions on the right to buy and own arms, claiming that Democrats were seeking to ban it entirely.

Trump

vowed to fight violent crimes "in a way no one has ever done"

in the event he runs for president again and wins the election.

The National Rifle Association

conference was held in Texas amid mass protests

with participants demanding action to curb armed violence and gun restrictions in the country, including a ban on the sale of assault rifles.

This comes just 3 days after the shooting at a school in Yovald City in the same state, which killed 21 people, most of them children, and injured 17 others.

Wednesday that the United States "needs real solutions

and real leadership in this period, not politicians or partisan considerations."

I will therefore abide

the school without the police intervening in the massacre of 

pupil Salvador Ramos in a class, which was also shown on video.

• director of the Texas Department of Local Security said that

• about an hour after Ramos entered the school, Border Patrol

• units arrived and "entered the school and killed the suspect."

He explained during a press conference that there was "a lot of information and a lot of vague points" in the investigation, adding that "this takes time."

Contrary to earlier reports, Escalon stated that the massacre's executor

did not confront any policemen before entering Rob Elementary School.

He said Ramos shot

1. at the school before entering
2. and "four minutes later" the first 
3. two policemen arrived at the site.
