Saw this one coming

“Gun control supporters have the blood of little children on their hands. Federal and state laws combined to insure that no teacher, no administrator, no adult had a gun at the Newtown school where the children were murdered. This tragedy underscores the urgency of getting rid of gun bans in school zones. The only thing accomplished by gun free zones is to insure that mass murderers can slay more before they are finally confronted by someone with a gun.”

–Larry Pratt, executive director of Gun Owners of America

    Put a metal detector at every school entrance manned by a uniformed police officer. Look at that, just increased student safety and created a bunch of living wage jobs, all paid for by a tax imposed on gun sales and every NRA membership. Along with strict gun control laws of course. Almost forgot, give Larry Pratt the mother of all cock punches while we’re at it.

    Don’t forget the cock punch!

    Think Progress had an article that mentions a Mother Jones analysis. In 61 mass shootings over the last 30 years, not a single one was stopped by a civilian with a gun.

    If more guns were the answer, America with over 300 million of them would be the safest Nation in the world. Yet, it’s the exact opposite. Even Russia with the Checen guerrilla warfare doesn’t have the gun violence we do.

    NRA’s new motto; ‘You can’t spell gUnS without the US, fuck yeah!’

    Because teachers want to be para-military staff instead of, you know, educators.

  7. Some Techie:

    Just a hopelessly stupid statement, Mr. Pratt. It’s a school, not the OK Corral. How can any sane person expect a school staff member to be ready to confront an attacker armed with a .223 semi-automatic rifle?

    I think that finally the NRA might get its dick slapped. Kindergartners. Automatic weapons. Enough said.
