During a CNN interview in February 2018 , following the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting , Fuentes argued against U.S. president Donald Trump 's proposal to equip teachers and school officials with guns . Fuentes embroiled himself in controversy with comments concerning female teachers ' ability to carry a firearm . He stated " A lot of these schools — Sandy Hook had an all-female faculty , from principal to teachers . For a woman , where are you going to hide that gun during the day ? If you wear a dress , if you wear a skirt , are you going to have to wear a jacket everyday with a belt and a holster , the way a detective on duty would do ? It 's not a real practical solution for a variety of reasons . "
