Hutchinson to Lead NRA Plan for Armed Guards at Schools
Wayne LaPierre is wasting no time moving forward with his plan to put more guns into schools.
Which is it? "trained, qualified, armed security"? Or "volunteers"?
Under this plan armed "local volunteers" will be roaming the halls of our schools. Not police officers with extensive vetting and training, not even local rent-a-cops, with much less training, but just your average gun toter with some spare time to volunteer.
What could possibly go wrong?
This just gets worse and worse. Hopefully, cooler heads will prevail and this hare-brained scheme will never get off the ground.
Wayne LaPierre is wasting no time moving forward with his plan to put more guns into schools.
"School safety is a complex issue with no simple, single solution," Hutchinson said at Friday's news conference. "But I believe trained, qualified, armed security is one key component among many that can provide the first line of deterrence as well as the last line of defense."
His effort, dubbed the National School Shield Program, would have a "budget provided by the NRA of whatever scope the task requires." It will focus on producing a security model, which may rely on local volunteers as armed security guards and would be offered for adoption at every school in America free of charge, NRA officials said.
