  I'm all for it. But the libtards will shoot this down due to cutting into their welfare goodies. They would rather have more gun control than what makes sense.PHOOEY!!!

  Keep in mind that Columbine had an armed guard. Virginia Tech had an entire armed campus police force. And one the massacres occurred on a military base, with hundreds of armed soldiers. Please tell me what would be accomplished by such a stupid idea besides the possibility of an old west shootout.

  Remember, there was an armed citizen in Tucson. He was smart enough not to draw his weapon. Instead he tackled Loughner. Law enforcement officials do not want shootouts in these instances. Of course this is Arizona where logic and intelligence is lacking.

  If the NRA would pay for a five year test-trial of officers in the schools (training, arming, and taking responsibility) then I think it would be worth discussing!

  Ateam1......Did you read the very first paragraph ???......."The National Rifle Association said Friday it wants armed police officers in every school, raising costs questions from Republican legislators who normally are their natural allies but picking up support of a key Democrat."

  Note that it is Republican legislators balking at this idea, You've got this backwards.

  Yep, Republican Legislators say ' let's see now ... a few dead kids maybe or raising my taxes for sure to pay for the guards ... hmmm ... I vote for dead kids '.

  They would rather have dead kids than a bit higher taxes.

  That's the most ignorant, stupid, backward, uninformed, SELF-SERVING statement I've ever heard.
  From a former NRA member, who just bought a Glock 35 yesterday.

  If Obama wanted this people would scream he was creating a "Police State". The NRA is out of touch and clearly lost it's mind. LaPerre can't remember how many children were shot---pay attention! America does not agree with the NRA.

  soricobob....Excellent idea !! BP pays for the damage they cause. The NRA and makers of assault weapons could pay for the school security needed as a result of their product.

  So non NRA people get ignored after 20 children are murdered under NRA policies. Then the NRA central speaks out finally with their old formula of more guns. The NRA policies have failed and failed horribly as many bully single issue philosophies have ... quit selling out our lives, our children's lives and our culture to the NRA. Feature others that have suggestions that don't reflect the NRA'S CASUAL acceptance of murder.

  We all know NRA position it is not even worth bringing up. On the otherhand we can not and will never be able to BAN the proplem. Banning guns or clips will never solve the problem. There are more childer killed by cars than shooting and we can BAN cars, sharp objects for stabbing or blunt objects for smashing in skulls. We need to adress the root casue of the problem.

  First we need to look at the Mother of this kid, what was her responsibility? She know she had an unstable child, How did she keep the guns? was the guns locked up in a safe or axessible to the kid?

  This comes down to responsible gun ownership and how she stored her guns.

  As for the future we need to focus on responsible gun ownership and education, Every state have concealed carry permit, you need a background check when you buy a gun. Lets combine these two and make a Federal Gun permit, that is time limited 5 yrs. to own and buy a gun you need a federal gun permit, By doing so we please NRA no gun registration, but a permit to have the right to own and buy a gun.

  Cerberus Capital Management LLP, whose holding company Freedom Group dominates the U.S. gun market, is selling off its entire portfolio of firearms manufacturers in the wake of the Sandy Hook massacre. Freedom Group companies account for half of U.S. semi-automatic weapon sales Stock market values on firearms manufactureres have dropped significantly since the shooting ar Sandy Hook. The writing is on the wall.

  While a waitress can be held legally liable for the deaths and damages caused by a patron that was overserved, gun manufacturers are held to a lower standard. Under a controversial law Congress passed seven years ago at the urging of the National Rifle Association, gun manufacturers are explicitly shielded from lawsuits that would seek to hold them liable for crimes committed with weapons they sold. This shows the true function of the NRA.

  this is the dumbest idea in history. the "guards" at the banks are a million years old, and half asleep all the time (and people still rob banks on the regluar). also, banks have more money then schools do.....you do the math here

  of course more guns are the answer. when the only tool in your tool box is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

  I think the NRA needs a lawsuit or some class action against it's inability to see reason.

  If a pharmaceutical company released a medication that killed kids the government would put a stop to it and the people would demand it. Where is the outrage against the NRA for saying that more guns and more high capacity magazines are not killing kids?

  Or, worse---is LaPierre trying a last ditch effort to rally his NRA nuts to buy guns? What are they now, a shadow government beyond control?
