NRA chief urges armed guards in 'every single school,' dismisses calls for gun control

National Rifle Association CEO Wayne LaPierre on Friday dismissed calls for increased gun control in response to the Connecticut school shooting, calling instead for Congress to support a plan putting armed police officers in "every single school" in America.

In an impassioned speech, marking the NRA's first in-depth public comments since the Newtown tragedy, LaPierre pointed the finger not at gun proliferation but violent video games, the media and the absence of armed guards at schools.

He argued that if banks and members of Congress can have protection, schools across America should be afforded the same security.

"It's now time for us to assume responsibly for our schools," he said. "The only way to stop a monster from killing our kids is to be permanently involved and invested in a plan of absolute protection."

You are the master of security. That’s obvious, I mean the way you want your only line of defense to be at the targets themselves is sheer genius.

Not the ONLY line of defense. But probably the most CRITICAL.

Anyway, you may want to implement some of your inadequate defenses at your local soft target, because the fact of the matter is nothing is going to be done, and this will happen again.

You don't carry a firearm. Yet, in the matter of personal self-defense, you want to advise others. BEFORE you advise others, solve your own self-defense problem(s). I presume you treasure your life. Please, while this issue is fresh in your mind, take the time to seek out some training. Then, you shall be able to protect those you treasure.

You can do something.

Apparently in spite of the anti gun mediots/rats, 10,000 schools in America have armed Police officers.

We saw on a local tv news in the SF bay area, a video showing armed cops in Oakland, Ca schools. Oakland is an out of control liberal city with strict anti gun laws and is a murder capitol in Californicator land. Apparently the armed cops are preventing thugs and pyschos from shooting up Oakland kids at school.

The link below cites the 10,000 armed cops in our schools.

“Already, there are an estimated 10,000 sworn officers serving in schools around the country, most of them armed and employed by local police departments, according to a membership association for the officers. Still, they’re deployed at only a fraction of the country’s approximately 98,000 public schools, and their numbers have declined during the economic downturn. Some departments have increased police presence at schools since last week’s shooting rampage at a Connecticut elementary school that left 26 dead, but say they can only do so temporarily because of funding.”
