The National Rifle Association executive VP Wayne LaPierre wants every school in America to have armed guards in all schools in response to the tragic shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown Conn. LaPierre says our children should be protected with guns. He says the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. However, when you ask LaPierre if he would support a bill to take the 30 round plus guns from being purchased by everyday Joe's he eludes the question and does not answer.
I wonder what kind of a country does he think America is... This is not the wild wild west or Gun Smoke. We live in a civilized country and one that all nations model at some point or another. How intimidating to take your young child to school greeted by a armed security guard. It sets up a day of stress for young learners. Elementary kids will stress over this presence of gun toting people on their campus. Not to mention administrators feeling nervous.
The tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary was a remote incident that happened because of reasons no one will ever know. Today and every day for the rest of your life just support the families of those children and teachers that lost lives. They need you now. Write letters to them and ask them what you can do to ease their pain. Send them words of encouragement. iamtellingu.
