He said (i paraphrase) 'arming teachers is bad because some of them are fucking idiots who can't be trusted with guns, as recent events have shown. There are better ways to deal with school shootings such as getting at the root causes'.
You rephrase the question to be (paraphrasing again) 'well can't guns make kids safer?', and he rightly says 'i already answered that; it's not a yes or no question'
I wasn't intending to reply to just what I quoted, but more of taking in all of what he has opined so far.
