Speaking on behalf of the NRA, Wayne LaPierre, proclaimed that the answer to gun violence, is more guns. What a liberal weenie. The correct answer is many more guns. The NRA proposes an armed police officer at every school, at a nominal projected cost of 6.6 billion per year. While admittedly there is nothing more heartwarming, and freedom affirming, than 6 year olds being greeted by an AR-15 each morning, it is not enough.
Left out our Sunday school classes, other religious instruction, and, most importantly, home schooling. Nor are those the only sources of education. Armed guards should patrol Sesame Street and take residence in Mr. Roger's Neighborhood.
Mr. LaPierre advised that the only solution to a bad man with a gun is a good man with one. But Mr. LaPierre is too modest about the NRA's role in this near biblical battle between good and evil. For while Wayne's speech waxed eloquent about evil and deranged men with guns, he failed to take credit for the impediments to background checks successfully sponsored by the NRA.
