Duffy Statement on the STOP School Violence Act
Sean Duffy
March 14, 2018
Tweet - "Today the House took major steps toward securing our schools by passing the STOP School Violence Act. We must put the safety of America's children FIRST by improving training and by giving schools and law enforcement better tools. A tragedy like Parkland can't happen ever again!"
Pres. Donald Trump
March 12, 2018
Tweet - "If schools are mandated to be gun free zones, violence and danger are given an open invitation to enter. Almost all school shootings are in gun free zones. Cowards will only go where there is no deterrent!"
Pres. Donald Trump
March 9, 2018
Letter to the Hon. Rodney Frelinghuysen, Chairman of the House Committee on Appropriations, the Hon. Nita Lowey, Ranking Member of the House Committee on Appropriations, the Hon.

Letter to Betsy DeVos, Secretary of Education and Jeff Sessions, Attorney General - Rubio Urges Justice, Education Depts to Revise School Guidelines for Reporting Threats to Local Law Enforcement
Marco Rubio
March 1, 2018
Tweet - "Many ideas, some good & some not so good, emerged from our bipartisan meeting on school safety yesterday at the White House. Background Checks a big part of conversation. Gun free zones are proven targets of killers. After many years, a Bill should emerge. Respect 2nd Amendment!"
Pres. Donald Trump
Feb. 28, 2018
Tweet - "It was an honor to welcome bipartisan members of Congress for a discussion on SAFE schools and SAFE communities. As we continue to mourn the loss of so many precious young lives in Parkland, we are determined to turn our grief into action. Full meeting: http://45.wh.gov/BipartisanMtg"

Remarks by President Trump at Announcement of Additional Leadership in the Historically Black Colleges and Universities Initiative
Pres. Donald Trump
Feb. 24, 2018
Tweet - "Armed Educators (and trusted people who work within a school) love our students and will protect them. Very smart people. Must be firearms adept & have annual training. Should get yearly bonus. Shootings will not happen again - a big & very inexpensive deterrent. Up to States."
Pres. Donald Trump
Feb. 22, 2018
Remarks by President Trump in Meeting with Local and State Officials on School Safety
Pres. Donald Trump
Feb. 22, 2018
Tweet - "I never said "give teachers guns" like was stated on Fake News @CNN & @NBC. What I said was to look at the possibility of giving "concealed guns to gun adept teachers with military or special training experience - only the best. 20% of teachers, a lot, would now be able to"
Pres. Donald Trump
Feb. 22, 2018
Tweet - "....immediately fire back if a savage sicko came to a school with bad intentions. Highly trained teachers would also serve as a deterrent to the cowards that do this. Far more assets at much less cost than guards. A "gun free" school is a magnet for bad people. ATTACKS WOULD END!"
Pres. Donald Trump
Feb. 22, 2018
Tweet - "....History shows that a school shooting lasts, on average, 3 minutes. It takes police & first responders approximately 5 to 8 minutes to get to site of crime. Highly trained, gun adept, teachers/coaches would solve the problem instantly, before police arrive. GREAT DETERRENT!"
Pres. Donald Trump
Feb. 22, 2018
Tweet - "....If a potential "sicko shooter" knows that a school has a large number of very weapons talented teachers (and others) who will be instantly shooting, the sicko will NEVER attack that school. Cowards won't go there...problem solved. Must be offensive, defense alone won't work!"
Pres. Donald Trump
Feb. 22, 2018
Tweet - "Today, it was my great honor to host a School Safety Roundtable at the @WhiteHouse with State and local leaders, law enforcement officers, and education officials. There is nothing more important than protecting our children. They deserve to be safe, and we will deliver!"
Pres. Donald Trump
Feb. 22, 2018

Pres. Donald Trump
Feb. 15, 2018
Tweet - "So many signs that the Florida shooter was mentally disturbed, even expelled from school for bad and erratic behavior. Neighbors and classmates knew he was a big problem. Must always report such instances to authorities, again and again!"
