"I want my schools protected just like I want my banks protected," the president told state and local officials gathered in the Roosevelt Room at the White House, according to a press pool report. He was meeting with authorities to discuss school safety in the wake of the deadly shooting in Parkland, Florida.

The remark mirrored comments delivered by NRA executive vice president Wayne LaPierre during a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference a couple of hours prior.

"Our banks, our airports, our NBA games, our NFL games, our office buildings, our movie stars, our politicians — they're all more protected than our children at school,” LaPierre said during the annual summit of conservatives.

The synergy in remarks between Trump and LaPierre highlighted the proximity of their approaches in responding to mass shootings, which have come under scrutiny in light of last week’s attack, which killed 17 people.

Trump seldom has his own ideas--just parrots the RW or fox news!

1. Once again, he's tone deaf

[pazzyanne]

5. And once again

he shows his inability to learn. Many of the state and federal legislatures can't or don't want to learn either. It will be their undoing. These young adults are coming for them and will do what we have been unable to do up to this point. Let the young activists do what they do, and we need to work on free and fair elections before the midterms. Not much time so we need to hurry!

November 2018 cannot get here fast enough

3. It's is going around, unoriginal & obvious.. A large GOP guy guest

on CNN an hour ago said the same, 'we protect our bank accts., finery, computers, homes, better than our kids.'

Body guards now.

He wants tellers armed... and they'll get a bonus?

7. He thinks he owns everything

He says " I want MY schools" like he owns them. Saying teachers should be armed shows how little he knows about schools, and teachers, and proves once again he has to take the Russia Putin NRA led path, more guns by arming more people.
