Entry Summary
On February 14th, 2018, there was a mass shooting at a high school in Parkland, Florida. After, President Donald Trump proposed his solution to gun violence in schools—arming teachers with guns.
Brief Explanation
After the Parkland Florida High School shooting, President trump proposed a way to end gun violence in schools—arming teachers. The Chicago Sun-Times think this is not only a bad solution, but a potentially dangerous and life threating one. We wanted to make a film highlighting the absurdity of this idea.
To test out President Trump’s idea, we took teachers to a gun range, spent 8 hours teaching them how to fire hand guns, then interviewed them after to see if they would now feel comfortable carrying a fun in schools. The answer across the board was a resounding NO.
