President Donald Trump apparently still thinks that the solution to gun violence is more guns.

On Tuesday, Trump was asked by Fox News’ Peter Doocy whether he would send National Guard troops to schools to protect against shootings. After rambling about safety doors and school construction issues, Trump offered up the eternally flawed idea of arming teachers.

“If you took a small percentage of those teachers that were in the military, that were distinguished in the military, that were in the National Guard, etc., etc., and you let them carry, that's something that a lot of people like. I sort of liked it,” he said. “You can't do it with every teacher because most teachers don't know [about guns]. And, you know, but I always thought that would be an alternative.”
