But what will our schools look like when we are done? What will our schools feel like? Is this where we are to train and nurture a free society, in the midst of assault rifles and bulletproof armor? Those things signify and communicate something quite other than freedom.
They impose an environment of fear, which can be debilitating to our youth, whom we should want to be confident, open, honest and happy. These are not the kinds of things you see in a free society, but a society at war. How bizarre is it that we would willfully take on the trappings of a society at war, while countless nations around the world — embroiled in real, live civil wars — envy our peace?
This is madness, of course. The NRA’s logic dictates that we should make our schools look like war zones to accommodate unfettered gun rights.

Not a pretty site, heavy armed guards. At the same time, tell the children and their families that in an era where mass shootings of innocents largely occur where the shooter has obtained the guns illegally, you are going to enhance the law to make it more difficult to purchase guns legally. You’ve barely moved the needle and have not closed the gap.
Blaming the NRA is not going to make children safer. It’s a multi-step approach.
The only reason leftists dragged the NRA into this is because they don't want to personally attack the millions of supporters they have. Attack the organization that had absolutely nothing to do with the shootings and convince the sheep the NRA is the evil one. In the meantime, hurt them financially like they are doing today. That will help (in their minds) reduce the campaign contributions to the Republican party and candidates.
