'We're going to get it done': Trump promises change to survivors of Parkland shooting
http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/w...urvivors-of-parkland-shooting/article/2649668
Flanked by young students in the White House East Room, the president said school shootings have "been going on for far too long" and he intends to "get it done" when it comes to expanding background checks, ensuring mental health issues are dealt with appropriately, and boosting security at schools across the country.

A parent from Parkland High School suggested that a select few teachers, administrators, or other school employees volunteer to become a designated “undercover police officer,” to manage a potential tragedy prior to the arrival of first responders.
“If a tragedy strikes, can we wait for first responders to get to the campus minutes later?” the parent said. “The challenge becomes, once it starts, to end it as quickly as possible.”
The president said the administration would look “very strongly” at the option for “concealed carry” at schools, but acknowledged that “a lot of people will be opposed to it.”
“Concealed carry only works for people that are very adept at carrying a gun,” Trump said. “Where a teacher would have a concealed gun on them, go for special training and they would be there and you would no longer have a gun free zone.”
Trump added: “A gun-free zone to a maniac, they’re all cowards, it’s ‘let’s go in and attack because bullets aren’t coming at us.’”
