Meet The Gun Advocates Responding To The Connecticut Shooting By Calling For More Guns In Schools
The National Rifle Association (NRA) has remained silent on Fridays tragic massacre in Newtown, Connecticut, even as gun safety advocates are publicly calling for a national conversation about limiting access to dangerous firearms. While information is still emerging about Adam Lanza the 20-year-old who killed 20 elementary school students, 6 adults, and his mother preliminary reports indicate that he used at least three guns: two hand guns and a .223-caliber Bushmaster rifle. The weapons appear to be legally registered to his mother.
The nations most well known gun lobby is nowhere to be found, but other gun advocates are responding to the tragedy by demanding more guns, arguing that had school administrators or teachers been allowed to carry guns into Sandy Hook Elementary, the tragedy could have been prevented:
Gun control supporters have the blood of little children on their hands. Federal and state laws combined to insure that no teacher, no administrator, no adult had a gun at the Newtown school where the children were murdered. [Larry Pratt, Gun Owners Of America]
Had Connecticut not had the no guns in school laws .Had the principal, the maintenance man, a teacher, been allowed to keep a gun in their office, maybe just maybe, this would have come out differently. [Bob Irwin, The Gun Store]
I only wish the kindergarten teacher and principal in Connecticut had been armed. [Dr. Keith Ablow, Fox News]
o looking at this tragedy that happened with K-12, we might have to have an armed employee at the schools, thats a measure, thats a measure. [Michele Fiore, Nevada Assemblywoman]
Look at what has happened, all these attacks this year have occurred where guns are banned. [John Lott, author of More Guns, Less Crime]
Well, I believe those of us who are licensed to carry, are responsible people, shouldnt be prohibited from carrying in schools or other places. [Steve Dulan, Michigan Coalition of Responsible Gun Owners]
