Government Security is Just Another Kind of Violence



Ron Paul Slams NRA Plan Recommending Armed Officers In Schools

Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) came out against the National Rifle Association's recommendation for armed officers in all schools in the wake of the tragic shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

"While I certainly agree that more guns equals less crime and that private gun ownership prevents many shootings, I don’t agree that conservatives and libertarians should view government legislation, especially at the federal level, as the solution to violence," Paul wrote in a statement posted on his website. "Real change can happen only when we commit ourselves to rebuilding civil society in America, meaning a society based on family, religion, civic and social institutions, and peaceful cooperation through markets. We cannot reverse decades of moral and intellectual decline by snapping our fingers and passing laws."
