NRA Press Conference 11am Live From Whinington Dc (Transcript/Video pg 1 & 8)

Yes I do.

The proposed concept is simple. Think volunteer, like a crossing guard, but trained in firearms and security by the NRA program, by responsibile citizens including police, retired police, retired military etc.

It's a simple concept.

we can make a local militia just for this..

Oh, this is just fucking great!

Now we're gonna have Homeland security and TSA nude-scanners in our schools. Sandy Hook is sounding more and more like a false-flag operation...designed to turn our schools into a training ground for the fascist police state.

agree volunteer citizens well trained

crossing guards are VOLUNTEERS? Not around here. They get paid. I know one..

I was thinking the exact same thing.

Two words! Home school!

In many, if not most places yes. They are volunteers. Same as fire departments in many small towns.

He called out the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT to get involved through a National Security Shield program, or whatever he called it. What do you think would happen if the fedgov got involved??? They would most likely place it under Homeland Security.

How true.

Well I m afraid you all think very simple and in good trust. I wouldnt trust anyone with a gun close to my child but i guess we have a very different culture. Lets hope this will work good for you.

It was a great speech. If you thought a fire brand, militant speech would have been more appropriate you would be sorely mistaken. It would have given the opposition more 'ammo'.

This speech is exactly what was needed for right now, being their opening salvo into this fight.

It will get more heated.

Others have been quite vocal in this regard though, and while the NRA may not be pitching this as a solution, they have not refuted it. In short, the "end goal" of the Feds I believe is to do just as I stated above. Pay attention to the overall rhetoric in the coming weeks, and I think you will agree.

The Wax has been out of my ears for a very long time btw.

Yep. Unfortunately there are a lot of commie nut jobs around. :(

Back to horse and buggy for you. You are not ready for current technology.

He did not call out the Federal Governemnt to get involved with the program. He called on the Federal Government to promote the program by removing the gun bans in schools and fund the program as necessary.

He also made reference to trained "volunters".
There isnt a school in this country that doesnt have a
parent ,grandparent or sibling that is a veteran to which would gladly volunter. Case in point

There is a national gun ban in schools? No, I don't think that's true. I believe it depends on the school district as there are armed guards in some, Phen just mentioned Harrisburg and I know there were threads on the one in Butler area, PA where they just approved security guards to carry guns. And if you think the government wouldn't get involved but just shell out cash, that's crazy as they would definitely use this as a power grab.

The "end goal" of the current administration is to repeal the 2nd amendment and disarm all of us. Not to create a federal police. The disarm us all, they dont need a Federal Police.

How would these volunteers be vetted? There would be some type of federal program in place, at the least...but for some reason, I doubt that the government would let something like this pass them by as "they know best".

Yes, schools are "Gun free zones". He was calling on the federal government to change the laws to enable their program of armed security in schools to be possible.

Here's what I think will happen. Because the Opresident has tapped Joe Biden to head up the investigatory committee to solve this problem, and Joe has invited several different groups to participate, it looks like they will probably try to make their efforts look like a balanced all-around approach. You know, fair share.

So, they will ask the games/video "entertainment" industry to limit itself and label itself better.

They will tell parents to monitor what games/videos their children are playing/watching.

They will talk about forming a new TSA-type security for all schools, which will only take a year or two to implement.

They will encourage neighborhood watches.

They will form a new committee to develop more stringent mental health protection measures.

And because they are sooooo concerned for the safety of the children, they will ban "assault rifles" and large ammo magazines.

That way, everyone has done their fair share, see?

It will make the gun owners look like heartless devils if they don't want to hand over their weapons, because gee we all have to pitch in and help.

FORWARD!!

That what the NRA said thier program will be. The NRA is developing the security program and will vet and train the armed security personnel in accordance with whatever parts of the NRA program the local school board chooses to adopt.

You're a great example of why Greece is so headfucked.

Schools may be "gun free zones" but the school districts already do have the option as to whether they can allow their security guards to be armed.

I do recess volunteering. I wear a safety vest and a whistle. It is my duty to keep the children safe. I would be willing to take a specified course of their choosing to add another accessory to my safety outfit.

*actually Phen linked a connections academy- it is something to study.

Blame it on the AR? It's not the gun people.

With a little practice watch what you can do with a Glock.

Something like 48 shots in 30 seconds? That's 48 people dead..

I guess you're much more optimistic than I am about whether the federal government would be willing to fund something like this but not have a say. If there's a way to do it without involving fedgov though, that'd be awesome!

Universities have "Campus Police" or "Security"...maybe each school district could do something similar, aside from the many schools who have already had an armed local police officer on duty at the schools for many years.

Each State has their own relationship with the Federal Government...they don't all do things the same way...laws and procedures vary from state to state...with public schools, most local parents and tax payers would have a say at the local level - that is what the school boards are for.
