As usual, Wayne LaPierre and the NRA have the guts to tell it like it is.

"..one week after.."

you see this FOREVER with commies and their MSM..
"one month after a child in Belize choked to death on an apricot seed, radical Rush Limbaugh said he thinks apricots do NOT contribute to.."
"ten years ago, this month, Paul Wellstone was killed in a plane.."
the communists are GREAT at creating pseudo holy/holidays commemorating ANYTHING secular or anti-freedom..
and.. continuing to bring them up in the form of "one week/month/year..."

Perhaps our communist masters are waiting for a Beslan here in the USA.

Perhaps an Opera House as in Moscow to further their ´gun control´ agenda.

Are we going to stand by and allow our kids to be exploited by these ignorant elected officials.

You will be able to judge the reason in his statement by the shrillness in the outcry by the left and the media.

Excellent, they didn´t cave.
I´ll renew my membership...

Now we need to stand by them, whether you own a gun or not, whether you shoot or not. The NRA stands or and fights for our LIBERTY. Renew today. Join them today.

Obama, Holder, and the ATF have provide assault rifles to the Mexican drug cartels, then allowed them to immigrate into the USA. A law should be passed against Obama, Holder, and the ATF (Ruby Ridge, Waco, Fast and Furious). Obama promoted a muslim to Major then set him loose with assault weapons at Fort Hood. When will Obama and the democrats be stopped?

Thanks for the much needed frank and truthful remarks, Wayne. I will now renew my lapsed NRA membership - to a Life Membership. Keep fighting the fight against the ignorant, those who believe Obama´s socialist ideals and those who would try to rewrite our beloved and sacred Constitution.

Some posters on other threads are pooh-poohing the idea of putting armed guards in every school - it would be too expensive, it wouldn´t work, it´s not practical, it´s impossible.

In my county there is an armed deputy sheriff stationed full time in every high and middle school. Not sure about elementary schools. They patrol the halls wearing bullet proof vests and their official cars are parked at the front entrance to each school. Not only do they deter attacks, the deter bad behavior of any kind both inside and outside the school.

All it takes for the funding is a change in priorities by the county government. And you know that there is waste in any government no matter the size. If they get serious they will find the funding.

An armed professional in every school would be an answer provided they were not under the jurisdiction of Janet Napolitano and Homeland Security. We sure as hell don´t need their form of security.

And you plan to put an armed guard on every playground? On every soccer field? At every birthday party? Have one accompany every group of 3 kids who goes on a bike ride? Every neighborhood barbecue?

The NRA could have come up with something coherent. It chose not to. Sad.

#11: You obviously did not read or at least did not understand the NRA´s position. Armed guards at schools was just one of many items mentioned in the full text. Let´s enforce the existing laws and let´s protect our children as well as we do our fatted politicians - especially the ones like the idiot Lilliputian Bloomberg. How did he ever get rich?

Hey #11, go ahead and impress us; What do you suggest? I really want to know.
Point is, with an active shooter on site every second or so means more bodies pile up. Having officers on site eliminates several minutes of response time, and lives WILL be saved.
