Did any of the 22,000 gun laws on the books help prevent the tragedy at Newtown Conn.? Of course not! Why? Because gun laws are not the problem, mental illness is. This young man who committed this tragedy obviously had some sever mental problems, I mean think about. What kind of deranged individual shoots 20 young children and 7 adults that as far as we know he had no connection with.
On Friday Dec.21, 2012 NRA's Wayne LaPierre gave a speech on their response to the tragedy, here is the link http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2012/12/21/167785169/live-blog-nra-news-conference. I agree whole heartedly with him on this, the only way to stop these people is with an armed security guard. I know as all law abiding gun owners do that had someone who was properly trained in security and firearms could have stopped this tragedy! This was totally preventable, totally avoidable! As is mentioned in the audio clip above we have advertised the fact that there are no guns on the school campuses, thereby creating a perfect environment for something like this to happen! The shooter knew he could walk in there absolutely unopposed and totally safe. Just to type those words makes me sick! I am a CLEET certified armed security guard and I and others like me know how easily this could have been avoided.
The NRA has made a generous offer to schools nationwide to train and equip at no cost armed guards for our schools to prevent this from happening again. Leave it up to the liberal media to spin this in some negative way. I do not like the idea of having an armed guard in every school, but given the choice of what may happen again and in all likely hood will happen again if these steps are not followed.
Of course most important is that we repent before God and ask His forgiveness of our sins and heal our land. We have taken God out of the schools and our society for the last 50 years and have seen a steady decline in education, morality, and the direction of this once great nation of ours.
