Easy as pie. [/quote] Or they could take the idiots that do nothing all day but ride around writing tickets and put THEM in the schools. [/quote] Exactly what this guy said ^^^. [/quote] Do you not see how idiotic what you are saying is? If you do not have officers enforcing traffic laws, how do you think people will drive? If you are mad that you got a ticket, maybe you should have not be doing what you where doing. It is funny how people get mad at the laws when they get caught breaking them. Now back to what this thread is about. If you have any questions as to what the plan that the NRA has offered they will, if it is not already up, post the plan on their website. This plan from my understanding will be ran at the state and local level, NOT BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. So you can not say how much it will or will not cost at this time, as each school will need different resources. But does protecting the youth really have a budget? Very sad if it does. But as it was said in the press conference, gun free school zones scream to criminals to come do their business there. As they know people who abide to the laws will not be armed to protect themselves. So by calling for more gun laws are you looking out for the people that abide by the law or for people that break the laws? It is a simply answer I hope you can figure it out. [/quote]
Original Message
In a somewhat unhinged press conference, National Rifle Association head Wayne LaPierre argued that instead of regulating guns better we should have a police officer in every school. He suggested we could pay for it by cutting foreign aid. Read more [
