Washington Governor Jay Inslee, a Democrat, told President Trump on Monday that teachers in his state do no want to carry weapons and suggested that Trump tweet less and listen more.
Trump, a Republican who backed gun rights during and since his 2016 presidential campaign, last week suggested that arming teachers could help stop more rampages.
He did not mention on Monday raising the legal age to buy assault rifles to 21, an idea he emphasized last week and one that Florida's Scott, also a Republican, backed after the rampage.
