How Liberals Protect Themselves From Gun Violence

CNS News reports on how only a good guy with a gun can stop a bad man with a gun:

Wayne LaPierre, executive vice president and CEO of the National Rifle Association, on Friday called on school officials to immediately come up with a plan to place armed security in every school in America.

“The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. Would you rather have your 911 call bring a good guy with a gun from a mile away or a minute away?” he asked.

One week ago, 26 people were gunned down – 20 of them children – when 20-year-old Adam Lanza went on a shooting spree inside Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. Then, he took his own life.

“Politicians pass laws for gun-free school zones. They issue press releases bragging about them. They post signs advertising them, and in doing so, they tell every insane killer in America that schools are the safest place to inflict maximum mayhem with minimum risk,” LaPierre said.

He pointed out that banks protect their money with armed guards, the president is protected by armed Secret Service agents, and members of Congress are protected by the Capitol Police. Yet, children aren’t afforded the same protection.

“How have our nation’s priorities gotten so out of order? Think about it. We care about our money, so we protect our banks with armed guards. American airports, office buildings, power plants, courthouses, even sports stadiums are all protected by armed security,” LaPierre said.

“We care about our president, so we protect him with armed Secret Service agents. Members of Congress work in offices surrounded by Capitol Police officers. Yet, when it comes to our most beloved, innocent and vulnerable members of the American family – our children – we as a society leave them everyday utterly defenseless,” he said.

“And the monsters and the predators of the world know it and exploit it,” LaPierre added.
