he called the gunman a sicko.e uses words like that when he can't understand the depravity of people who would do that. the white house said it moved him so much, it reminded them of when assad used chemical weapons in syria and the president was watching the images of children on television and he was stricken by it and felt like he needed to do something. they feel like they're kind of in a mindset like that right now, but the problem is that there are a lot -- it's not just a single-handed thing that the president can do right now. he has to rally a lot of support, and it's still unclear whether that's going to be possible. i think there is a possibility here that the president is voicing some support for these changes, but like with immigration, when push comes to shove, it has been hard to get to a compromise on immigration, and it will be just as difficult, if not more difficult, on guns. >> because the base fights back. >> because the base fights back. >> i want to turn to -- you talked about after the fact

yeah, that's what sickos are known for: logical reasoning. and what does he mean, "weapons talented?" that's not a phrase that i want to associate with teachers. "boy, jim, you sure are handy with guns. have you considered working with children?" ( laughter ) he finished, "must be offensive, defense alone won't work!" oh, sir, i think your suggestion is offensive enough. ( applause ) and, this afternoon, trump met with state and local officials to talk about school safety, where he tripled down on the idea of arming teachers. >> frankly, you have teachers that are marines for 20 years. they retire and they become a teacher. they're army, navy, air force, coast guard, people who have won shooting contests and, you know, they're for whatever. ( laughter ) >> stephen: if there's one thing that reassures you as a parent about the safety of your children is when the president says, "whatever."

we had a mental institution where you take a sicko like this guy.s, and you'd bring him to a mental health institution. those institutions are largely closed because communities didn't want them. communities didn't want to spend the money for them. so you don't have any intermediate ground. you can't put him in jail because he hadn't done anything yet, but you know he is going to do something. so we're going to be talking seriously about opening mental health institutions again. in some cases, reopening. i can tell you in new york the governors in new york did a very, very bad thing when they closed our mental institutions so, many of them. you have these people living on the streets. and i can say that in many cases throughout the country, they're very dangerous. they shouldn't be there. >> i'm glad he brought that up. and i'll get your response. but if the people living on the streets in new york city, guess what they don't have access to? >> homes. >> homes and guns. >> and guns. but don, there is so much wrong with what the president just said t

a lot would be able to immediately fire back if the savage sicko came to a school with bad intentionsained teachers would also serve as a deterrent to the cowards that do this. far more assets at much less cost than guards. attacks would end! what do you think? he says he didn't say it, but it sounds like he's advocating for it, right? >> right, he said it was misreported and then he confirmed he said it by kind of talking about it some more. but there is another element to that that i think is really unfortunate and not helpful at this time. he's made it all about him, right? so here he is, he's fresh off a wednesday meeting in the white house with students and teachers where he's trying to play the role of consoler in chief, a role that does not come to him naturally. but he is staying on script. he's telegraphing some empathy. he's doing some things you want from a leader at this time. then thursday morning he gets up and he's obsessed with his own pr, his own press, the slights against donald trump. the slights against donald trump don't stack up to a gunman in a high school. when

shooting sh the sicko will never attack that school. i don't know where he got the 20% number from. how big of a number is. according to the department of education there are 3.5 million school teachers in the united states. the bureau of labor statistics listed more than 200,000 coaching jobs. now they don't break down whether it is high school or junior school jobs but we assume the majority are school -- coaches with more than 98,000 public schools alone, that would mean an average of eight armed teachers per school. i don't know if that is a little or lot. i'm telling you what the numbers are. and nbc news investigation found that 18 states already allow teachers to carry guns in school. these are the red states and these two beige ones. most require some kind of authorization from school officials. others have different requirements like a concealed carry permit or other bar to meet. when the president made his discussion, listen to what one father whose child was killed at the sandy hook elementary school said. >> this is my son d

when we see someone mentally unstable, like this guy that was a sicko, a lot of warning signs.re calling and saying he was going to do something bad. people have to act. create work together to a culture in the country that cherishes life and forces real human connections. we are working to reduce violent to make schools places that can be totally safe for children and families. administration, gun prosecutions have increased very significantly. we are also after the gangs. the gangs have been incredible. -- a couple of commentators that are lightweights said, who talks about ms-13? it is talked about in communities where they are killing people. they want to do it painfully and slowly. they cut them up with knives. they don't use guns, they use knives. people have no idea this was coming. we are getting them out by the thousands, putting them in jail and getting them out. our border patrol people are much top or then they are -- tougher than they are. they understand niceness and toughness. other people are much tougher. they go in there and grab them by the neck. we need toug

if we see a sicko, i don't want him having a gun. he know there was a time when anybody could have. even if they were sick, they were fighting. and i said, fellows, we can't do it anymore. there is no bigger fan of the second amendment than me and no bigger fan of the nra. these guys are great people. they're going to do something. and they're going to do it, i think, quickly. i think they want to see it. but we don't want to have sick people having the right to have a gun. plus, when we see somebody like this guy, they didn't do a good job but they had restrictions on what they can do. we have to give immediate access to taking those guns away so they don't just leave and you sit there with seven different weapons. you have to give them immediate access. don't worry, you're not going to get any. don't worry about the nra, they're on our side. half of you are so afraid of the nra. there's nothing to be afraid of. and you know what, if they're not with you, we have to fight them every once in a while. that's okay. i will tell you they are doing what they think is right. but sometimes

i said this yesterday, we had a mental institution where you take a sicko like this guy. he was a sick guy. so many signs. and you bring him to a mental health institution. those institutions are largely closed because communities didn't want them, communities didn't want to spend the money for them. so you don't have any intermediate ground. you can't put them in jail because he hasn't done anything yet but you know he's going to do something. >> and president trump says he will stand up to the nra, the national rifle association, for the first time since the school shooting. we are hearing nra leaders speak. it was quite clear after days and days of student survivors calling for gun reform that the nra has not changed its political call to arms. >> lean in. listen to me now. and never forget these words. to stop a bad guy with a gun it takes a good guy with a gun. >> nra chief wayne lapierre had a lot more to say. we'll dig into that in a moment. first let's check in with pamela brown, standing by at the white house press briefing set to start any moment now. the presid

pushed for armed certain highly trained teachers in schools across the country to deter what he calls sickos. take a listen. president trump: if we don't have offensive measures within these schools, you are just kidding yourselves. i hear so many of these wonderful plans where you are going to live in this utopian school without any protection or guns or bullets flying at the perpetrator, the animal that wants to destroy the lives of families and children. unless you are going to have offensive capability, you are wasting your time. charles: is the president correct? are we wasting our time by not arming teachers in our schools? of course, we should remind the audience who may not be familiar with your story, you are also a columbine survivor. what was your impression of today's meeting? >> i was pretty impressed he actually reached out to us and was commenting back in a puck manner it wasn't a simple closed door meeting and i allowed the media in. on my specific issue he was spot on. we need to end the gun-free zones. it's like offering up ice cream to the killers. i think he's spot-on. we

in a tweet, he said allowing teachers to do that would allow them to fire back if a savage sicko came into a school with bad intentions. they will also serve as a deterrent at much less cost than guards. there are eight states that allow her to not prevent teachers already from carrying concealed weapons. california is not one of them. the people we spoke with had various responses to the idea. then i do not think it is a good idea. instead of arming the educators, we should give them more support as well as put more money into school education. as well as policies on bullying. it could be a good idea. maybe to deter people, they know they will face opposition. we met mr. trump first thought of the idea of arming teachers during the campaign. mr. trump suggested arming and training about 20% of k-12 educators nationwide with add up to 640,000 people. the union that represents about 3 million teachers nature that . >> nationwide examine the idea and they say that's the last thing students need is more guns in the classroom. >>> that leads us to our question of the day, do you think tea

president donald trump said arming teachers would allow them to immediately fire back if a savage sicko came to the school with bad intentions. more assets at less costs than guards, a gun free school is a magnet for bad people. we spoke with several people to get their reaction. >> i believe that training should be involved with people that carry guns, anybody that gets a gun should be trained to carry guns, i leave bref that there should be more law enforcement in schools -- believe that there should be more law enforcement in schools, not teachers carrying guns. >> it's worth it if it can save a kid. >> it's a bad idea. we need less guns not more guns, i respect teachers, they make the world a better place and educate my children but i do not think that adding a gun in the mix is going towards getting more gun control in the country. >>> this idea calm up during a listening session with the president, the vice president, the education secretary and survivors of school shooting, president donald trump suggested arming and training 20% of educators nationwide which adds up to 640 to 70

if you see a sicko i don't want him having a gun. >> reporter: the president said he's willing to take necessary accusing some of being too afraid. the idea of arming teachers, the democratic governor advised the president to do less tweeting. >> i listened to first grade teachers who don't want to be pistol packing the first grade teachers, listening to law enforcement who said they don't want to train teachers as law enforcement agencies which takes we 6 months so we need less tweeting, more listening and take that off the table and move forward. >> reporter: governor rick scott isn't waiting around on congress to take action. >> $500 million, two weeks left in session, i'm not waiting for the federal government, $500 million, we have significant law enforcement presence in every public school in our state. >> reporter: what action will we see? yet to be seen. house leaders say picking up the background check they packed last december, senate leaders say we will see what comes today and tomorrow and in coming days. >> it is developing days after the fact unlike times before. fox news

quote, this guy was a sicko. covered wayne wayne lape at cpac earlier. he says he called many lawmakers in recent days. they are into doing background checks that maybe they would not have been thinking about a few weeks ago. ashley: let's bring in judge andrew napolitano. movies, mine, there's a wide -- movies, i mean, there's a wide range of issues, judge, there's going to be a lot of policy discussion in many areas. >> i to -- doubt they're going to interfere with the freedom of speech. we've been through this various times throughout history. i understand the president's anxiety, but given his general attitude about cultural manies, i would have -- mores, i would have expected him to say parents should keep kids from these movies. you're not going to stop hollywood from making violent movies, it's too lucrative a business. ashley: even more so, the violent games which are incredibly violent and have been more some time. they slap a warning on the side when you buy them, but is that must have? >> no, it's not

the fbi, and the school knows, what else can we do as parents to know that our kid are safe from sickosike this? >> this is risk management in the school systems. and there are a lot of factors at play here. they should have a threat or risk assessment team. when someone has been expelled. and we know it takes a lot to get expelled from schools. no child left behind. there is a lot of things that have to happen before you can get yourself expelled. there has to be a long history there that they could have examined. and maybe they did. then a thream have to look at that and take action. with all the red flagging twhrawrntion were. you would be hard put to find a case with more red flagging warnings. they could have got and restraining order. >> with all due respect, someone who is going to inflict as much carnage and murder as many people as possible, a restraining order won't do much. we have to talk about this level of mental illness. obviously this an individual who was clearly disturbed. he was posting pictures of himself with guns and killing police and trying to get around backgrou

we had a mental institution where you take a sicko like this guy. he was a sick guy. so many signs. and you bring him to a mental health institution. those institutions are largely closed because communities didn't want them, communities didn't want to spend the money for them. you don't have any intermediary ground. he didn't do anything yet so you couldn't put him in jail but knew that he was going to do something. in some cases reopening mental institutions again. in new york, the governors in new york did a very, very bad thing when they closed our mental institutions, so many of them. you have these people living on the streets. and i can say that in many cases throughout the country, they're very dangerous. they shouldn't be there. we'll be talking about mental institutions and when you have some person like this, you can bring them in to a mental institution and they can see what they can do. we've got to get them out of our communities. >> so let's start this hour at the white house with kaitlyn collins, standing by. raj shah speaking out, sounding like there was no room as

said in a tweet that arming teacherswould allow them to, quote, immediately fire back if a savage sicko came to a school with bad intentions and would serve to a deterrent to the cowards that do this. a gun free school is a magnet for bad people. we spoke to a student this morning that says she finds the idea way too risky. >> i don't like that idea at all. >> why? >> well, i feel like it adds to the fear that students have already about someone coming in and shooting. and if you have -- i feel like students shouldn't be afraid in general at their own school. having firearms there, they know it is there now and that adds to the fear. >> reporter: now, we also talk today people who strongly support the idea. but even they admit there are risks to adding guns to the classroom. >> of course there is. there is risk any time that a gun is involved in anything. ask the police. you know. >> but you still think it is worth it. >> i think it is, yes. if they can save a kid or two. >> reporter: now, this idea first came up during mr. trump's presidential campaign in 2016. there was some discussio

are adept at it, should carry concealed weapons, so they can immediately fire back at the savage sickosou say, it is backed by the nra, but it is not one of those things that the students from the parklands school have been talking about and calling for. they have been much more focused on things like assault rifles, the ease of which you can buy these pretty deadly, very deadly weapons. it looks as if there will be very little movement on that. donald trump has potentially mentioned raising the age limit for buying those. but the nra would be against us. how much room for manoeuvre will he have, when you think how many millions the nra give in political donations? i am sure there are some things that will get done, the tightening up or enforcement of the register, if you like, this register that most people agree is not very complete. it is the thing against which future people to see whether or not they have been convicted of a felony. in a sense, that is making the law, as it exists, work properly. the nra backs that. there is the question of these devices that can be fitted to semia

when with very somebody that is mentally unstable, or like this guy that was a sicko, there was a lot he will do something bad, people have to act. as i said last week we must work together to create a culture of our country that cherishes life and forces real human connections. we're also working to reduce violent crime in america and to make our communities places that can be totally safe for our children, for our families. under my administration, gun prosecutions have increased very significantly. the attorney general is very, very much after that, and we're also after the gangs. the gangs have been incredible. ms-13 i see where a couple of commentators that are lightweights said that, ms-13, who talks about that. that is all they talked about on fox. that is not talked about on fox. that is talked about in communities where they're killing people, not necessarily with guns because that is not painful enough. this is what they think. they want to do it more painfully and want to do it slowly. so they cut them up with knives. they don't use guns. they use knives, because they want
