NRA 'prepared ... to help make sure this never happens again'

The National Rifle Association America has released the following statement – its first since Friday's shootings that left 20 children and six women dead at an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut:

"The National Rifle Association of America is made up of 4 million moms and dads, sons and daughters – and we were shocked, saddened and heartbroken by the news of the horrific and senseless murders in Newtown.

"Out of respect for the families, and as a matter of common decency, we have given time for mourning, prayer and a full investigation of the facts before commenting.

"The NRA is prepared to offer meaningful contributions to help make sure this never happens again.

"The NRA is planning to hold a major news conference in the Washington, D.C., area on Friday, December 21."

Thoughts?

So:
You think Apple publicly announcing they will "make some crap" in the USA someday soon (in 5 years)
was a publicity ploy with empty words...

The NRA has one job
and it ain't worrying about School Teachers and Kindergarteners that is for certain

Disgusting and despicable.

NRA - want to help make sure this doesn't happen again? DISBAND you sick fucks.

Jon that's nonsense...
They're essentially a lobby group paid to defend the specifics of the 2nd Amendment (period)
There is nothing disgusting or despicable about doing what they are paid to do
The NRA didn't shoot anybody

But as I said already: School teachers and Kindergarteners ain't their demographic (so this is lip service)

Jon, you must have gotten married to the wrong person because you have turned into an angry, stupid, bitter old jackass.

You need to get laid...but use protection...we don't want you reproducing.

The NRA will be pussies like they always are.........reactive instead of proactive. They will just wait around and take it in the ass like they always do. They need to go on the attack, be offensive and make Congress mandate teacher carry laws in order to teach our kids. We need gun education in ALL public schools and we need it now. We need to educate the young people so they grow up knowing guns are a good thing, they are for protection, and recreation.

The NRA needs to throw the lefts shit right back in their face.

If teen pregnancy is a problem the left wants sex education in schools.
If bullying is a problem the left wants education in school.

So naturally if there is a gun problem in the USA there needs to be education in schools. The left has blood on their hands getting our kids murdered like this and it needs to stop right now.

Demand it
Do not compromise
Do not stop until its done



We owe it to our children.............think of the children

Maybe a small adjustment to the dosage...

[kalm]

I'm suprised the NRA only has 4 million members. You see their stickers everywhere. Given the NRA's track record, you'd think g groups like the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation or DU would be better voices for gun ownership at this time.

Baldy, don't be so hard on dback...he just wasn't clear enough on his first try at his post. See...it is fixed.

Seems dback is getting closer to JSO's intolerance as each day passes.

This is one time that I will stand next to my Gun Loving Redneck Brothers. Thank God for the NRA!!!!!!!!!!!

Leave my Guns alone!!!!!!

When the Founding Fathers created the 2nd Amendment having guns in schools and places of business were surely not their intention. These were people that were hunters & were defending their home & country against the English, not using them on or in self-defense from each other.

I've never really had strong feelings either way on the gun debate. I probably sided towards more restrictions but would never actively pursue it.

Newtown changed that for me, as it probably did for millions of Americans. I'm a parent, a parent of two boys of similar ages to those that were senselessly shot multiple times each last Friday. I can't imagine the grief of the parents that were told last week that their child didn't make it out. This isn't the first time this has happened and unfortunately it won't be the last, but we need to do everything in our power I believe as adults, as parents, to protect our children.

I was disgusted when I read the PA grand jury case against Jerry Sandusky and the inaction of the Penn State athletic department & administration over years to stop other children from being molested.

I was disgusted and almost moved to tears when I read the news online last Friday on children, so many children being shot & killed while attending elementary school.

Now is NOT the time to take the course of inaction - the same inaction that we all decried with Penn State - from Mike McQueary, Paterno, Schultz, Curley, Spanier, Corbett, etc that allowed atrocites to continue. There needs to be immediate steps taken to make sure we minimize the chances of this happening again at my kids school, your kids school, or any other public place in America.

I'm just playing devils advocate here but we often read articles of teachers getting assaulted by their students (and fired if they fight back). What's to stop those students from overpowering 24 yr old Ms. Price, taking the gun killing her and creating a dangerous situation at school?

In many schools here, there are police officers (at least in the more troubled areas). Is an increased police presence at the school at the answer? Instead of arming all the teachers (which will never happen. We can't afford books and paper. How in the hell will we afford guns, bullets and training?!) why not post 1-2 officers who can respond and give them clear rules of engagement.

Rules of Engagement
1) Protect all children, faculty and staff
2) If you have a shot at the assailant, take it.

[Ibanez]

145,100 public school teachers had been physically attacked by students at their schools in the course of a single school year and that another 276,700 public school teachers had been threatened with injury by a student in that school year.

Just think about it. IF we arm teachers and say we are 1/3 of the 2011 numbers listed above are armed in, that's roughly 47,800 guns that can be used against an estimated 956,000 students (average class being around 20 students). Increase the guns, increase the risk.

We can't legislate common sense but parents should be parenting. Violent movies, violent video games, aggressive and violent music all have a hand in this, IMO. In addition to our culture glorifying gun ownership. I am for the 2nd amendment but you can't convince me that Joe Blow in Omaha needs a Bushmaster. We can't stop at banning a certain type of gun, that's a band aid (if that). I'm not sure what the next step is. I know if you want to modify a weapon that the ATF sometimes visit you (happened to a friend on mine) maybe we need stronger background checks. Doctors note? I don't know.

Better mental health care. Better security for public schools.

You are welcome, and thanks for coming.
