Dear Libs:
If you are truly interested in giving school children the same protection as people on airplanes, shopping malls, etc., why are you opposed to armed guards at schools? Are you more interested in pushing your gun control agenda than protecting these children? Isn't your ultimate aim to remove all weapons from society, thus leaving your paternalistic government in control of other people's lives? What has turned you into such control freaks?
I proposed the NRA proposal a week before they came out with it.
There was no support for it on this board. I even suggested that it would be a good way to employ veterans,
and several rightwing nut posters said that because of PTSD, veterans couldn't be trusted with guns.
Democrats don't trust Veterans they consider them "Right wing extremists"
and how do you treat war heros like Kerry?
He wants to condemn those who want to limit your right to own a gun. Your second amendment right.
But in the same damn breath condems the first amendment right of film makers and game developers.
Why can't the right defend their constitutional rights without trying to limit mine?

....Snooki Palin supporter!!!!!
On the flip side, lolberals thought Bubba's "100,000 new cops on the streets" meme was the greatest idea since the wheel, and have supported goons like the TSA without batting an eye....Now LaPierre says what he did and it's the stupidest thing since Quayle misspelled potato.and I gotta say, letting Wayne LaPierre handle the NRA's public response to the Sandy Hook tragedy is just about the stupidest thing the NRA coulda done...
the guy has a history of being a gratingly obnoxious loud-mouthed jerk that only a gun nut could love...
and the NRA put Loose-Cannon LaPierre in front of the cameras just when they needed to try to make new friends... or, at the very least, not have people tune them out and write 'em off as a pack of fringe nut-jobs...
and his proposed solution to the problem of mass shootings, of calling on the federal government to put an armed guard at each and every school in the country, is nearly as pathetic, ludicrous, impractical, and ultimately ineffective as anything the libs have suggested...
I 'spect that, when the coming laundry-list of restrictive federal gun control measures is signed into law, people on both sides of the issue will point to LaPierre's performance today as being a major reason for its passage...
I find it funny that they took that many days to remain silent, only to come out with his "popular" response. It's also funny that a seemingly "conservative" organization with a most likely large conservative membership would also advocate more big government and allegedly advocate the restriction of the First Amendment rights of video game producers..
Which way do y'all want it?...I mean besides both ways.
When I was kid, you generally outgrew your desire to run around with fake military guns, playing 'army',
at about puberty.
Nowadays the nuts have turned it into an adult sport.
Did the kid have an obsession with guns that caused him to step over the line?
Or did he have an obession with violent video games that caused him to step over the line?
If the answer is no to both then this discussion about gun control serves no purpose.
I think the boy was wacked and his mother did not excerise the proper gun control.
Bingo, it's all about selling guns.The NRA wants to arm everyone.
Well, if you are in the business of selling guns, or if you have a business that provides private security guards for public or private events and/or longer term clients, the NRA's idea is a reason to celebrate.

A home invasion robbery suspect died overnight when he jumped out a second-floor apartment window, apparently after his intended victims opened fire on the alleged intruders. The incident happened at an apartment complex on Lancashire Circle near Stone Mountain. Channel 2 Action News reported that a couple with two small children live in the apartment, and exchanged gunfire with the suspects.

Are you really that blind and stupid?Liberals don't believe in personal responsibility, the Government should do that for you...including personal protection which means you don't need a gun.
They don't think you should be able to gun down a criminal coming into your house, just call the police to come "taser him." In England the police come to beat him with a club.
Most liberals oppose hunting Bambi, so banning hunting guns is a-ok with them. They don't trust you Red State American with a "legal" handgun under your coat, so ban that too. They don't trust Joe Schmoe that plays soldier with his weapons on the weekend at a shooting range.
Their nanny state utopia is where the Government controls your life, you shouldn't fend for yourself and shouldn't be allowed to be different than them with your guns.
Yes sir the NRA BEGGING the Federal Government to be more intrusive. Provide armed guards. And the gun manufacters don't even have to pay for it. The gun nuts will pay for it. Right? Through taxes on the sale of guns and ammo.
And dude with the clown face. Is that clown face your idea of.......what? Looking the fool.
Well done.
But it sure is hard to take a clown saying weird shit very seriously. But then again, you are not what I would call a serious person. You are a CLOWN. LMAO.

Hmm..., apparently you only played with fake guns. Today in the real world and especially those that were in the military know that to stay alive one must be able to protect themselves and not rely on others. Ever build your own carpet gun? I doubt it. Come to think of it, I'm sure you were more comfortable dressed in your mother's or sister's clothes.

There were a lot of words at the NRA presser, but the message was very simple: the NRA will not follow some of the pro-gun rights politicians in Washington into a new discussion of gun regulations. Instead, the group has created a program designed to usher more guns into schools: NRA School Shield, led by former Arkansas Rep. Asa Hutchison (R). Hutchison was on hand to explain the program, and LaPierre likened it to NRA efforts during the Second World War.
“Our training programs are the most advanced in the world. That expertise must be brought to bear to protect our schools and our children now,” he said. “We did it for the nation’s defense industries and military installations during World War II, and we’ll do it for our schools today.”
School Shield is a “multifaceted” program, LaPierre said, but it was clear that the goal was more armed guards in schools. LaPierre said Congress should get a jump start on the process by putting armed adults in all schools by the end of the holiday break.
The idea behind School Shield isn’t new for the gun lobby. Indeed, LaPierre reminded the press he suggested something similar after the 2007 Virginia Tech shootings.

Put armed police in every school, NRA urges

No...for most of your scenarios a good guy with a concealed weapon will do the trick. There are planty of retired people who could volunteeer to cover the schools and or busses. The libtard solution is always to spend more monety, hire administrators and staff and never get the job done. Screw them.The NRA has announced their 'solution' to gun violence in school. Armed guards.
I'm sure that the idea will have both multiple supporters and detractors as is usually the case when one side of the political aisle suggests a solution to a problem.
However, aside from the costs associated with placing armed guards in thousands (if not tens of thousands) of schools nationwide at a time of statewide budget cuts and even more proposed federal cuts, and the fact that there are usually multiple entrances to most schools and the fact that guards would likely be the first targets of any gunmen...what about school buses? How many school buses leave a school with 50 plus students at the end of the day, every day, all across the country? Should they ALL have armed guards on them like federal Marshalls on planes?
How about community centers? Swimming pools? After school sports games in gymnasiums? Bus stops? Cross walks? Any and every public place? How about day care centers? Restaurants? How about EVERY single movie theatre? Lobbies alone? Or the actual screening theaters? How about libraries?
Is the answer to gun violence mean that America has to embrace armed guard everywhere that children and adults congregate?
"The Department of Education has counted 98,817 public schools in the United States and an additional 33,366 private schools."
So, 99,000 public schools times approximately $30,000 per armed guard...
By my calculation that's about $3 Billion a year, undoubtedly subtracted from money spent on teachers (and teaching, of course).
Oh and lets not forget, they had an armed guard at columbine, so even if there are one there, killings still happen. 3 billion a year and its already proven to not be a deterrent.
Only the right would approve of this.
Figures a Progressive wouldn't save children's lives because she's not PAID to do it!
