Marjorie Taylor Greene says children 'should be trained with firearms' to ward off a 'mad man with a gun' in schools

In the event of a school shooting, children should be taught how to use guns to protect themselves, according to a lawmaker.

Speaking at a House Rules Committee meeting about the Second Amendment, he said firearm training would help ward off potential danger.

"If my children are in school and a man with a gun comes to kill people, unfortunately a psychologist is not going to be able to just talk him out of it," she said. It is not a good way to protect children.

She said that children should be trained with firearms.

She said that's very important.

"We do not need more gun control," she said. We need to go back to God.
