ROCHESTER N.Y. — Following the Parkland Florida shooting President Donald Trump hosted a listening session for survivors, their parents, and teachers on Wednesday. In the meeting he suggests that schools without guns inside of them are set up for attacks, and teachers with guns could avoid such tragic devastation if equipped with a firearm.

President Trump then defended his proposal to arm teachers in schools on Twitter:

Rochester mother Shenice Brown-Wilson expressed concern.

“Not for teachers! If you have a gun at home and it’s licensed for you to have personally — to be in your vehicle or at home, don’t bring that around children and say that that’s OK,” she said.

Trump's comments come only one day after hearing the emotional pleas and testimonies from the parents and friends of students who died in that tragic Parkland Florida school shooting nearly two weeks ago.

“I wouldn’t really feel safe anymore if that does come true,” says Charles Ruffin.

Ruffin, a 17-year-old Rochester area high school student, is concerned for his and peers safety and believe teachers armed with guns could take a turn for the worse.

“Some kids might not be able to control their emotions and hit a teacher, that has happened before and now a teacher can decide to shoot them and say it is self-defense,” adds Ruffin.

Trumps proposal for some students like 17-year-old Jamyr Buntley leaves a list of pros and cons.

“Sometimes it could be good because you will never know what could occur in school because it might actually be a school shooting and you might actually need the gun you have been provided with, and if they don’t do anything stupid, why not?”

The president's tweets about the possibility of giving concealed guns to gun "adept" teachers with military or special training experience is also up for debate.

“I think that it is something that needs to be done and people that actually have the training with weapons, and instead of giving them to teachers have the war vets that need a job. That’s a job opportunity for them,” says James Chiboykins, youth mentor.

Parents say preventive measures can even start at home.

“Parents aren’t doing enough talking either. It’s not just the teachers; you have to talk as well. When you go to a school, you find out if your child school is presentable for your child and your family,” said Brown-Wilson.

Trump said Thursday in a school safety roundtable with state and local leaders, law enforcement officers, and education officials, that there is nothing more important than protecting our children.
