FoxNews Bret Baier’s All Star panel, Charles Krauthammer, Juan Williams, and Steve Hayes, all called the NRA ad a mistake, vile and repugnant. I guess they all believe that the elite should have armed protection for their children, but not for ours.
Krauthammer even went so far as to say, of course the President's children should be protected because of who the President is and out kids don't need that type of protection.
What about kids of policemen, judges, FBI, ATF, correctional officers, etc? Their children may be targets because of who their parents are. Don't they deserve armed protection too?
The NRA did not call for taking away the right of the President to protect his children, but to give our kids the same right and not to make them sitting ducks in a gun free zone.

They weren't comparing the risk they were displaying the hypocrisy.
The Democrats are all whining about turning schools into armed camps and yet Sidwell Friends, an elite school with armed guards, manages to plug along just fine.
Wouldn’t want to catch something from the peasants, dontchaknow.
Our kids deserve protection because of who they are.
Our kids.
The NRA doesn’t dispute that Obama’s kids need protection. It merely points out so do the kids Obama used as props today.
Let me tell those brilliant commentators something. Every democrat controlled town around here stationed police at the schools shortly after the massacre. Duh.
I followed the link. Your “source” does say what you have as the text.
Krauthammer is a Powell-Bloomberg FAUX “conservative”
who reliably supports the DNC-script and Obama.
No surprise here.
“Fox was outstanding, now not so much, same old same old.”
Not to worry! Fox has just hired Dennis Kucinich, so the quality, accuracy and validity of their reporting will now be FIRST RATE!

I had forgotten about Beslan. I read about it not too long ago. What those kids went through before they were killed by those animals.
Some of the school districts are waking up and hiring armed guards on their own in the states where they can.
Some retired police officers are volunteering to help out at the schools.
“The state must declare the child to be the most precious treasure of the people. As long as the government is perceived as working for the benefit of the children, the people will happily endure almost any curtailment of liberty and almost any deprivation.” — Adolph Hitler, Mein Kampf (and Barack Obama?)
“How dare those NRA hicks point out blatant hypocrisy! Who do they think they are?”
See who the RINOs are now ? Even Krauthammer.
They all need to be severely biatch slapped.
Every child in school deserves the protection afforded the presidents children. They are no better than the average kid in school.Since when has the presidential family become “royal?”
“Krauthammer even went so far as to say, of course the President’s children should be protected because of who the President is and out kids don’t need that type of protection.” To make a statement like that is beyond repugnant! To insinuate that the life of any child is more or less important because of who the parent is,is ridiculous.
Does the parent living in the ghetto grieve over the loss of a child any less than the wealthiest person? Krauthammer fell into the liberal attitude that some are more important or valuable than others.
I for one that all children deserve the same protection and opportunities. So if these morons don’t believe our children should be protected by armed security as the elite, if they don’t agree then it should be required that their children go public schools without protection!
Once again, the NRA isn’t disputing protection for Obama’s kids.
Obama is rejecting the NRA’s suggestion of protection for other kids.
The NRA’s point is why does Obama see guards for others’ schools as being “inappropriate”.
OK Obama’s kids have greatly enhanced security needs. But some schools have a thousand kids or more. Less risk individually, but a lot of kids to protect.
Why are the opinions of three talking heads “breaking news”?
The NRA should have gone after the kids of the MSM. That would have made their point. Going after the President was wrong.
Fox = Murdoch = not to be trusted on the 2A issue.
Bingo. We’re all forgetting Al Queda is out there. Why they haven’t sent some suicide missions into schools, I don’t know. But if it happens I’d rather have at least one armed guard there to shoot back.
puh - leeez
Let's add district attorneys, high-profile trial witnesses, athletes playing in high stakes games, where kidnapping is a real possibility.
There are all sorts of "average people" who could find themselves in situations where they could be extorted with threats of violence.

Do any of the 3 panelists have kids currently attending public schools?
Won’t we all feel better when the next nut kills only 5 of our kids because of a smaller ammo clip, even though Obama prevented us from actually protecting the kids with an armed guard.
When did a cop stationed at a school somehow become a bad thing?
