The last thing we need is efforts by some politicians and the NRA to arm educators and allow more guns in our schools.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
This is one of the major problems we have. By the way, it was endorsed by leadership on both sides of the aisle and both ends of the Capitol, by the NRA and also by the gun control groups.
Why can't we get real, sane, sensible gun legislation? Because the NRA, funded by Mossberg, Smith & Wesson, Glock and all the rest of the big dogs in the weapons industry, you know, spread around donations and won't let it move through.
We have to go to war against the people who enable the gun violence, the people who stop us from keeping guns out of the hands of mentally unstable people, of felons, and that means the NRA leadership.
After every massacre in a school, Americans grasp at quick cures. 'Let's install metal detectors and give guns to teachers' Let's crack down on troublemakers, weeding out kids who fit the profile of a gunman. Let's buy bulletproof whiteboards for the students to scurry behind, or train kids to throw erasers or cans of soup at an attacker.'
We need sensible gun safety measures. The federal government could do something about this; they could show up.
I am in support of the NRA position on gun control.
The last thing that should happen is funding cut for education; it should be increased. We need to put more money towards education, and anything else is abusive.
More guns are not the answer to keeping our kids and our communities safer.
I don't think there should be more gun control. I think there should be more education.
I look forward to working with the NRA to come up with ways in which we can use common sense approaches to reduce the level of violence that we see - in our streets, and make the American people as safe as they possibly can be.
