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 might as well have gotten their marching orders from the White House tonight.
Juan is a Marxist. The rest are NeoCons and lack true conservative principles. I find it difficult to find any conservatives on FoxNews.
Krauthammer can be brilliant, but like tonight shows, he can be a total buffoon at times.
Well if Sandy Hook school would have armed gaurds pretty sure that it wouldn’t have happened.
Simply, A circle Jerk... the four stooges...
The Prezzydent’s kids are too good for public school and his kids are too good to even permit other kids to attend their school using vouchers.
El Douche.
Most elites have bodyguards based one possible threats, while millions of Americans face threats daily that are known and real. These Americans don’t have the resources to live in castles with a private army.
What makes you believe they didn't?
The Beslan Massacre proved that schools are a “soft target”. Nidal Hasan was one man on a jihad terrorist attack on Americans. Denying defense of school children may just bite this president jive turkey on the ass some day.
I, too, was disturbed by Krauthammer’s response. I normally agree with what Charles has to say but he was way off the mark on this one.
The NRA ad drives home the abject HYPOCRICY of these DC morons. Now we need to remove a bunch of these azzholes from public life then go to work ELIMINATING THEIR CUSHY PENSIONS!!
In fact, I believe I’ll go to his site and let him know that. How about some of you do the same?
Sorry fellow freepers, the ad was stupid. I am 100 percent NRA, but comparing the risk to a President’s kids to ours is ridiculous. We risk the random crime, his kids have targets for the whole world on their backs.
That's what gets me. They know how to protect the kids, but instead they are going for banning guns owned by law abiding citizens and taking away our 2nd amendment right to bear arms.
Even Bill Clinton asked for money for SROs (armed security resource officers) in school.
They truly believe that Obama’s children are more important than yours or anybody else’s.
Hasan hit a "soft target," too. A lot of people don't realize that. They think "Army base" and they think of tanks and machine guns. Hardly. We're sitting ducks on-post due to gun laws and regulations.
Krauthammer—”some pigs are MORE equal than others”. He being a physician (neurologist) and an elitist himself, no doubt he has disagreement with firearm ownership. And is fine with executive orders countermanding the Constitution, apparently.
The fact that this got under a lot of people’s skin— points out that the prez says “if one life is saved” and then will not support armed school guards- it speaks volumes simply about the hypocrisy. The prez’s children will NEVER be shot
Bunch of women sexual organs.
I completely disagree with you. No one is saying that the President's kids can't be protected. Some of the kids have parents in high risk jobs and they deserve to be protected too.
What about the kids of policemen, judges, correctional officers, FBI, ATF, etc They have an added danger. After the publication of some of the addresses, the prisoners in New York were taunting the correctional officers.
And I don't really care if it is a random act, our kids deserve to be protected to. Even Bill Clinton recognized the danger and asked for money for armed guards. The teachers can also be armed if they can pass the background checks.
Our children are important too!
We don't need to have them used as sitting ducks in gun free political zones.
